Oh right
east coast game means early start out West. Rats, hate missing the beginning of the game and catching the first half via radio….
30 point win...revenge will be sweet!!

come on guys losing it already
terrible passes leading to silly turnovers. Brown already with a quick 3.

Which one thing are you guys looking for tonight?
I am looking for dominance on the defensive boards.

Great minds...

Great timeout by Dunleavy 2 and a half minutes in
Team started poor and the quick TO gave them a nice kick in the behind.
by Dunleavy is an Idiot on Nov 17, 2009 5:23 PM PST reply actions
Anyone want to take a stab at who's going to have a career night vs the Clips?
I’ll take Thornton (not ours)
Kareem! Noooooooooo!
Writhing in pain.

That's what you get for insulting DJ
not that I expected him to make both…

down by the 7...but they're losing to guys named marcus thornton and bobby brown....come on!!

Typical ups and downs
Look good for a few possessions and then the complete opposite.

Imma quit looking at comments on this game
its looking horrible already. Im on ESPN gamecast and its looking very dark on a game that I thought would look very bright with CP3 out…
Thanks alot.
Problem is, Im at my school library and its VERY VERY slow. Can’t even watch a single second of the video without it loading.. and even then nothing has been playing yet.
Kareem X-rays negative
Going to get MRI now.

Butler?!
What the hell was that pass? Skipped Kaman in the high post to throw it off the rim.
by Dunleavy is an Idiot on Nov 17, 2009 6:02 PM PST reply actions
missed the 1st qtr
how the hell have they given up this many points to this team, they need to step up and play def. this team has no business to be on pace for over 100.
This is ridiculous
Always playing down to the opposition. Without Paul this team is nothing (and they were already playing terrible with him)
by dulciusEXasperis on Nov 17, 2009 6:38 PM PST reply actions
you're right...the hornets are playing down to the clippers level....
by whyamiaclippersfan on Nov 17, 2009 6:40 PM PST up reply actions
I'm saying we're playing down to them
unless you’re being sarcastic, hard to tell online.
by dulciusEXasperis on Nov 17, 2009 6:42 PM PST up reply actions
doesn't seem like it. Don't know what the call was about....
by dulciusEXasperis on Nov 17, 2009 6:50 PM PST up reply actions
.....weird
so they pretty much messed up and that’s they’re way of correcting it lol
by dulciusEXasperis on Nov 17, 2009 6:51 PM PST up reply actions
if i was a betting man, i'd say this 9 pt is insurmountable for the clippers to overcome.....
please prove recent history wrong
by whyamiaclippersfan on Nov 17, 2009 6:49 PM PST reply actions
yeah seriously
every time we knock it to 9, they get another bucket right back. Defense gotta step it up.
by dulciusEXasperis on Nov 17, 2009 6:51 PM PST up reply actions
In my opinion it doesn't really feel like he's jacking up shots
Though he’s certainly had a few of those quick pull up shots. He just ins’t a good shooter.
by dulciusEXasperis on Nov 17, 2009 6:57 PM PST up reply actions
3-13, 0-5 from three
not sexy at all.
by dulciusEXasperis on Nov 17, 2009 6:55 PM PST up reply actions
clips need to hold the hornets to 10-15 4th qtr
and hopefully score more than 25
by whyamiaclippersfan on Nov 17, 2009 6:55 PM PST reply actions
Can't keep doing this back and fourth BS
play some defense!
by dulciusEXasperis on Nov 17, 2009 7:01 PM PST reply actions
Are we playng zone?
Why don’t we switch man to man with these guys making so many 3’s
by dulciusEXasperis on Nov 17, 2009 7:02 PM PST reply actions
lol game over!
Not watching anymore peace out…good luck next year
the hornets don't look like the team that is struggling and getting blown out every game
by whyamiaclippersfan on Nov 17, 2009 7:03 PM PST reply actions
this is just frustrating to watch
how the hell does NO score so easy on us, and we have to struggle for everything
we lose
cant even fu***** guard a rookie who gets every 3 wide f**************** open god dammit
This is it
To get outplayed by the Hornets something has to be changed.
Well on a plus note
Thornton is kicking some a** tonight and for his 4th game in a row. Can we assume he’s back?
by dulciusEXasperis on Nov 17, 2009 7:08 PM PST reply actions
Hornets just rubbin that trade in our face!
I want that 2nd round pick back!!!
by MannyA on Nov 17, 2009 7:08 PM PST via mobile reply actions
Alright down by 9
Can’t believe we brought it down to single digits. Keep pushing you sons a b****es lol
by dulciusEXasperis on Nov 17, 2009 7:11 PM PST reply actions
come on, for one possession
he’s had a terrific game
by dulciusEXasperis on Nov 17, 2009 7:18 PM PST up reply actions
Clippers defense and New Orleans turnovers
don’t mean a thing if the Clippers can’t SCORE!
i think that novak shot was the game....
wide open..can’t get a better look for him….he’s probably tired from having played so much tonight haha
by whyamiaclippersfan on Nov 17, 2009 7:20 PM PST reply actions
haha he's exhausted
But yeah he makes that and we’re right there breathing down their necks.
by dulciusEXasperis on Nov 17, 2009 7:21 PM PST up reply actions
Big miss by Novak
That would’ve changed the game! Specially after Barons three
by MannyA on Nov 17, 2009 7:21 PM PST via mobile reply actions
haha
Mike – I’m a glass full kinda guy
Ralph – Yeah you’re full of something
by dulciusEXasperis on Nov 17, 2009 7:27 PM PST reply actions
Really Mike Smith?
You smell overtime? Don’t think so…
Oh me, oh my!!!! The Red Baron has come home!!
in regards to seeing what this team can really do
totally agree. We’re going to be much better with Blake either starting or coming off the bench and having our sharp shooter EJ back. This should of been a win but we’re nothing without Eric and our #1 pick. Think of had good we would of been if Thornton had started off the season this hot. Hope he keeps it up with Eric back on the floor.
by dulciusEXasperis on Nov 17, 2009 7:33 PM PST up reply actions
the way the clips are playing, 30 wins would be an achievement
by whyamiaclippersfan on Nov 17, 2009 7:33 PM PST reply actions
dunleavy: too many turnovers, we had our opportunities but missed some shots, defense was shoddy and we got beat up on the offensive boards
but i’m the gm and coach, we have a well balanced team that can compete night in and night with any team in the league
by whyamiaclippersfan on Nov 17, 2009 7:36 PM PST up reply actions
what the heck happened??
i just tuned in to the final minute…. how the heck did we lost this game?
by baron davis' beard on Nov 17, 2009 7:34 PM PST reply actions
and rebounding
i see we got out rebounded like crazy.
by baron davis' beard on Nov 17, 2009 7:36 PM PST up reply actions
that's just ridiculous.
how can you be 7 feet tall and not grab a rebound??
seriously.
by baron davis' beard on Nov 17, 2009 7:38 PM PST up reply actions
Slow down speed racer
the way the played today, I doubt they win in Memphis, but man I hope you are right and they go 2 and 1
by MannyA on Nov 17, 2009 9:27 PM PST via mobile up reply actions
36/51 rebound difference
man we can’t get a defensive board. 28th in the league…..come on!!!!
by dulciusEXasperis on Nov 17, 2009 7:36 PM PST reply actions
Ugh
Really bad loss, how are we so bad at rebounding anyways? We have Kaman and Camby you would think we’d be a good rebounding team right? How many teams have two double digit rebounders?

i did vote on the poll a couple weeks back that the clips would be 5-9
i wish i had been wrong but it looks like my prediction is going to come true
by whyamiaclippersfan on Nov 17, 2009 7:37 PM PST reply actions
But what will we be when he comes back?
He’s not a great rebounder, nor is he HC…so what real difference will it make? Plus he fouls as much as the rest

We have to beat the Grizzlies tomorrow to get to 5-8… otherwise we could be 4-10 by friday night.

"I want someone who will, you know, let me put it in or who [will] suck on it." – Donald Sterling
Actually guys...let's keep it real....this isn't that bad
EJ and Blake are out…if we are only 4 wins under 500 when EJ comes back, things aren’t too bad…
EJ is a big piece of our team missing, he would have been the man to go to in Q4…
pretty convincingly too
we were as they called it “climbing a hill all day” and we pretty much were…
Yea
CP3 is still a lot more important to the Hornets than EJ is for the Clips. Not sure how we turn this around, can only hope BG gives us a spark next month once our schedule actually gets hard.

What did I miss
I watched the first half and knew from that moment we were going to lose
1. Our rotation on the 3pt attempts were late
2. We could not rebound
Clippers allergies prove to be their demise against the Hornets
Proving to have weak immune systems (in addition to fortitude) the Clippers were wary of rebounds in fear of an allergic reaction to the Hornets sting.

Can we do a vote tomorrow on banning the use of "winnable game"
We shouldnt use that word around these parts anymore, it s like a jinx.
I hate the idea that there is "winnable games" as a clipper fan
Maybe we should start thinking, there is a chance we can win this game.
I like thinking we have no way of getting blown out
but we probably will. Just when I think we couldn’t possibly sink any lower… we do.

I'm going w/ the Grizzlies
They got rid of their cancer, AI
lets here what Dumbo thinks...
he took that terrible hobo suit off

more of the same...
blah blah, slow start, blah blah keep fighting…I feel like I am rallying behind Custer right now
"I want someone who will, you know, let me put it in or who [will] suck on it." – Donald Sterling
we are losing so often
that I forgot we have blake griffen on the team
Its possible
I’m hoping Ben Wallace and Ron Artest start another brawl. I also hope Will Bynum dunks on Andrew Bynum. It would balance out the evening after watching the Clips lose yet again.

Im done being sad...
Lets beat Memphis!

This was fun
Looking forward to the write up by Steve this was the same defense that they played against OKC they play it in spots late and draw the illusion they always tried. This team isthe Clippers I called them everything in the book from terrible to disgusting nothing else fits they are just the Clippers.
We need a new coach if it isn’t his fault it doesn’t matter at this point we need something to bring a change. Right now Dunleavy is George W. Bush at the end of his last term you have been calling him a moron for so long that you just get tired. We need a CHANGE and I can’t stress that enough.
Not saying it''s hiss fault but
Teams needs to not do anything they did tonight again
IF we lose tomorrow
does Dunleavy remain coach on Friday?
AI and Dunleavy
Lets hope Mike D. signs iverson to a 10 day contract so more people fill the seats at home so sterling’s more amenable to firing dunleavy.
Sad thing about the next draft
Outside of getting John Wall (Nets or Jazz might get him) everyone else is a big mostly PF’s. So we have Griffin yet we potentially might have a nice 5-10 overall pick do we still go BPA because we need a SF or do we go Wizards route and trade the pick for the SF. Remember though Wizards missed some good players who slipped.
hey guys, before we get all depressed about the game, lets look at the positives
Al Thornton is getting his confidence back. He put up a lot of points without taking a ton of shots.
Chris Kaman was good, but not great. It seems like he has a tougher time vs the bigger opponents
Baron Davis was good, but not great.
Camby was good but not great
Rasual is finding his stroke
Kareem Rush was playing well for us until he hurt his knee…. hopefully he just tweeked his knee a bit instead of something major.
Clipper curse?
Just when someone starts to play well they get hurt. Wtfreak? Is this for real?!
Clippers 09-10. Prepare for a revolution.
It could be worse...
at least they’re not the New Jersey Nets.
I only caught the last quarter, and was wondering why Rush wasn't ever on the court.
I now see he has a torn ACL.
All you can do is laugh at this point, I mean seriously. This is insane.
I've got nothing.
Laugh and point?
At a guy who might have seen his NBA dream crumble? There are a lot more amusing things in life than that.

At some point
After seven years of sub .400 (aggregate) basketball, I’m going to start questioning the coach.
To a older post
2-1 is not I repeat not a successful roadtrip in terms of where we were going in and what we needed going out. The Clippers needed to go 6-7 at the end to afford a likely loss to the Nuggets back home to go 6-8 and then run around and beat Indy which would make us 7-8 and then have a easy slate to end the month as the 8 th seeded teams to be battling it out with at exactly the .500 number. This game was big because if the team could have stayed potentially near .500 it takes pressure off of Blake who has to look like a savior now as the number one draft pick. Espcially since the loss was to NOH without Palu the roadtrip is alrady a Epic Fail. I know a loss is a loss no matter who but some losses should never be losses.
Kareem Rush out for the remainder of the season
He tore his ACL, his season is over.
For those who think Baron had a good game, check the stats, he shot 21 chunkers and couldn’t make anything. He’s pathetic as is how this team got close to being tied again and then BAM it was a 10 point deficit or more.
no paul and they win - time for plan AI
i’m a positive person but they don’t have Chris Paul who is better than any Clipper player and somebody who their team misses more than we do gordon & griffin combined and we couldn’t win. Baron was pathetic, this is his loss all the way. He & Dunleavy should be fired. Bring in AI to start at PG NOW!!!
