Hey, anyone know why...

timeout already
seriously, we have some mentally challenged players. Need tough competition to bring out their best.

shouldn't need him for this game
Probably only active b/c we keep losing guys. Just keeping the active roster full.

Mardy has got to finish at the rim
those are layups, come on.
by dulciusEXasperis on Nov 23, 2009 8:27 PM PST reply actions
True, but he needs to stay up in the rotation...
He’s very active on the defensive end.

57% from 3, for a horrible 3-point shooting team...
Only against the Clippers.

Perimeter D simply sucks
What’s up with that. Corey brewer started 4 of 4. Just wow.

Who pays these guys to suck?!?!?
These lazy passes have ‘side-bet’ (Donaghy style) written all over them.

he was going for the layup
and decided mid-air to change it to a dunk because of his hang time. Just decided a bit too late.
by dulciusEXasperis on Nov 23, 2009 9:15 PM PST up reply actions
Camby has 15 boards and 10 pts
Al has 19 and 6
Baron scoreless(red flag)
Kaman has 15

I hate dunleavy

BG, EJ, BD LETS GO CLIPPERS!!!
It'd be nice if Bassy lives up to his hype, and grows into being our starting PG

It seems quiet here tonight..
am I missing a boycott?

Best Clip fan is not here

he supplies a healthy 128 comments a game

Minn's offensive rebounds
Do we blame the players, or blame the ball?
Great game for AT
a little like a guy named Blake
always thought AT was a slasher type player not a post up type
Roger Sterling: To my knees, Don. They're bringing to my knees!"
He's trying his best! LOL

can't wait for the Baron brick to lose this one...
“I wanted to go with our experienced guys” said Dunleavy “we missed some rotations, tough loss”
'Cause how you play, is how you'll be remembered. PLAY LOUD!
wow...sad
barely beating a 1-13 team
Roger Sterling: To my knees, Don. They're bringing to my knees!"
His stat line is insane tonight (for his standards)
10-15, 8 boards, and 9-9 from the line

Sure
but if he made his shots earlier, it prob wouldn’t get this close this late in the game.

wolves tempted him to shoot that 3
tells me teh guy knows he should take it to the hole
Roger Sterling: To my knees, Don. They're bringing to my knees!"
I'm glad that bucket put us in a better position to win...
But I don’t think BD deserved to have the winning shot. He blewww tonight. Almost seems deliberate.
by The Only Team That Matters on Nov 23, 2009 10:01 PM PST reply actions
wierd… the spread on the game was -4.5, -5 before the game or so i hear clips favored , and we won by 4. so we won but didnt beat the spread.
the nba! where bookies happen.
Ineptitude
Hard to believe the Twolves couldn’t take advantage of BD’s game.
Thank goodness for Al Jefferson
Messy messy win..
..but a win isn’t a loss, and being a clippers fan that’s all I know about basketball, and I’ll take it.

we're all unsavvy basketball fans....all we know about are wins and losses

8-34
Davis, Butler, and Kaman’s shooting. Hard to overlook.
does anyone know if MILPH apologized at the beginning of the telecast?
Roger Sterling: To my knees, Don. They're bringing to my knees!"
ralph did all the talking for the most part...something to effect that if they offended anyone they apologize

“I’m Ralph Lawler, along with Mike Smith,” Lawler said. "I want to get something out of the way. Both of us deeply regret anything we might have said that may have offended any good Clipper fan or anybody else in that ball game against Memphis last Wednesday night. We’re glad to put that behind us and we’re glad to be back.

Lawler still got a joke in about the incident
Anybody catch when Jawai checked into the game, and Ralph says to Mike Smith, “I’m not even going to ask you where he’s from…”
Yeah, I caught that.

A bit frustrating to watch after the excellent Denver game
But a win is a win, and I’ll gladly take 6-9 over 5-10. Besides, a lot of people were predicting the Clippers were going to lose this one because it would be “typical” of the team, so I’m glad that even though they fumbled, they still came out with a win. Bad game by Baron, but he showed up when it mattered, and that’s what counts. I know he hasn’t been the player he was in Golden State, but tonight was obviously a rarity—Baron is simply not going to have another 2 point, 1-10 shooting performance anytime soon. He’s too good a player.
Even so, it bugged me that it looked as though the team went back to playing lazy defense and settling for jump shots. What happened to the defensive intensity and looking to score in the paint? They did step it up when they needed to and got great performances out of guys like Al Thorton and Sebastian Telfair, but I think the coaching staff need to try hypnosis on these guys to make them think that every game this year is on ESPN.
In any event, it was nice to get a win and I’m looking forward to seeing Eric Gordon back on the floor against Indiana! (He is coming back then, right? He better be!)
can't believe we got 3.75 more season of this BD!?
Roger Sterling: To my knees, Don. They're bringing to my knees!"
