This team can't freaking score
It’s killing me.
by Michael White on Dec 14, 2009 8:01 PM PST up reply actions
omg Butler come on!!!
Take the f**king shot
by dulciusEXasperis on Dec 14, 2009 8:00 PM PST reply actions
Heh.
That’ll help with the Clippers inability to score.
Right?
by Michael White on Dec 14, 2009 8:02 PM PST up reply actions
Who knows
I’m just being whiny. I don’t really care, might as well give Mardy some minutes. What’s the worst that can happen :\
by Michael White on Dec 14, 2009 8:04 PM PST up reply actions
he deserves a chance lol
not like Ricky or Butler are doing much better
by dulciusEXasperis on Dec 14, 2009 8:04 PM PST up reply actions
Really, Kaman and EJ have it going
Nobody else
Ralph is getting up there haha
Makes a ton of commentary mistakes.
by dulciusEXasperis on Dec 14, 2009 8:06 PM PST reply actions
Well, they're trying different things
That last pick and roll almost worked. How about EJ’s left handed hook?!?
Butler takes the charge
He’s doing some other things well, I suppose
Nothing
Just saying that an in-game interview of Griffin was fine the first time, now it just reminds me that he’s done more of these than play games this season
by Michael White on Dec 14, 2009 8:18 PM PST up reply actions
I actually don't like in-game interviews period
I’d rather MILPH just call the game instead of ignoring it
by Michael White on Dec 14, 2009 8:18 PM PST up reply actions
Guys, I LIKE what we saw from Skinner
We didn’t get the usual uncertainty that we see with DJ.
Skinner is a better basketball player right now
DJ gets minutes to build for the future. But he doesn’t help the team now. IMO
by Michael White on Dec 14, 2009 8:25 PM PST up reply actions
What's this? Rasual is scoring points?
Keep it up!
Shit, 5 for 9
And even a 3. But 9 turnovers, to their 4.
Whats up with Smith
was doing so well a couple of weeks ago.
by dulciusEXasperis on Dec 14, 2009 8:27 PM PST reply actions
EJ needs to SHOOT the ball
Stop the f%&^ing fancy fakes
oh wait, nevermind... duh... misread
by LancasterGordon4Eva on Dec 14, 2009 8:46 PM PST up reply actions
:-)
0 for 10 for BD, Camby and AT. ONE shot for AT!!!
AT should drive more.
He’s good that way.
by RockyMountain on Dec 14, 2009 8:50 PM PST up reply actions
Well, we're only down by 5.
I really like it that way, stay close, then in the 4th, bring in the block party. At least I hope it’s that way.
by RockyMountain on Dec 14, 2009 8:47 PM PST up reply actions
This is amazing...
Skinner is playing—and playing well. At the end of the second quarter I actually found myself hoping they brought Skinner back because I thought the team would actually play better with him out there. That was crazy…
Skinner will eat Brendan Haywood if they match up in the second half, no way that wannabe can bang with Brian.
Also, good to Casual like Rasual make some shots. He is not as good as we thought he was to start the season, but he can’t possibly be as bad as we all think he is now.
Yay yay.
Let's see more Skinner.
And yeah, Butler needs to stop believing what people are saying about him
I wanna see
Dunleavy suit up and sub himself him, then maybe he’ll be able to communicate his plays better. I can just picture this slightly creepy looking bald dude in a 1977 Philadelphia 76’ers uniform running all over the court shouting shit at Marcus Camby, jacking up killer 3’s from half court and running in for old school layups.
by LancasterGordon4Eva on Dec 14, 2009 8:57 PM PST up reply actions
every half time interview
-we gave them too many opportunity
-they’re athletic guys
-we gatta improve on our shooting
-we gatta play defense
EVERY FRIGGGIN TIME!!!!
yay!
mdsr continues to put make us believe signing his 6yr project player was a good idea…forget the young hotshot 20 yr old…feed kaman!
Roger Sterling: To my knees, Don. They're bringing to my knees!"
EJ may hold us in this one
What’s UP with Baron?
oh god f**k this team
seriously, how can we be watching this garbage. Brutal, brutal stuff.
by dulciusEXasperis on Dec 14, 2009 9:06 PM PST reply actions
shame on you!
They freaking won the game. If you want every win to be a blowout, then go watch the Lakers boring games.
After tonight, we will have played 23 games.
….and will have had one impressive victory.
ONE.
I've got nothing.
alright...
I’m re-gifting something at tomorrow’s white elephant gift exchange, so i gotta get to wrapping…if they come back, i’ll be back on…
Roger Sterling: To my knees, Don. They're bringing to my knees!"
just turned on the tv...looks like i didn't miss anything...
another blow out loss….to the wizards…..its getting harder and harder to watch clippers games…i seem to care less and less when the games are on and sometimes dont remember when the next game is…
by whyamiaclippersfan on Dec 14, 2009 9:12 PM PST reply actions
Well then....
you missed a great win for the Clippers and a great game by both Eric Gordon and Chris Kaman.
Wizards aren't good
Note to Clips: Pick your asses up and start coming back
10 rebounds for B Skinz in less than 10 minutes
by LancasterGordon4Eva on Dec 14, 2009 9:22 PM PST reply actions
10 assists, 3 steals, 2 blocks
Not that any of it mattered until the last 3 minutes of the 3rd
But who cares. Like Belicheat said
stats are for losers. (Not that I agree)
by RockyMountain on Dec 14, 2009 9:24 PM PST up reply actions
BSkinz > DJordan at this point...
hate to say it…
BD and EJ back in
and we’re still in it. Whew.
He's making them
I’ll take ’em anyway they come
Exactly.
I could care less as long as it’s 2.
by RockyMountain on Dec 14, 2009 9:44 PM PST up reply actions
Arenas is gone
Rather have him in there, actually
I was hoping they would tie it
so EJ can learn to take the clutch shot.
Should have fouled them anyway, 2 points is still less than 3 according to my maths
by Natedog1977 on Dec 14, 2009 10:05 PM PST up reply actions
because Dun always has to sub in a "defensive specialist"
Doesn’t matter who’s on the floor.
by dulciusEXasperis on Dec 14, 2009 10:04 PM PST up reply actions
ricky davis is the new daniel ewing hahaha
by whyamiaclippersfan on Dec 14, 2009 10:04 PM PST reply actions
Why oh why?
It is very reminiscent of Daniel Ewing – Hasn’t played 1 minute, come in cold and try and guard a warm player??
by Natedog1977 on Dec 14, 2009 10:06 PM PST up reply actions
Yeah it was sort of like..BD saying come here man!!!
and then SUal just says..nah…and turns around.
no he was yelling at him
he dunked when he didn’t have to which is sign of disrespect
In Gordon we trust
by bestclipfan on Dec 14, 2009 10:24 PM PST up reply actions
clippers escape with a win!!
eric gordon’s girlfriend is pretty!!
by whyamiaclippersfan on Dec 14, 2009 10:08 PM PST reply actions
When did they show her?
I missed the first half but I have it recorded. Also does anyone know if they interviewed Cassell I would like to know how he is doing as a coach, it would be cool if one day he came back and coached the clippers.
In Gordon we trust
Boykins dribbled down after EJ made 1 FT
and EJ knocked it loose
He has incredible hands
It was also swarming team D. Good last play.
lol, my stream went out just at the steal.
by Fan of the Game on Dec 14, 2009 10:08 PM PST reply actions
Now I'm not sure what I saw
Did EJ knock it loose, or did Boykins fumble it? They should show it again.
yeah we WON
for once we didn’t collapse in the end (well we kind of did but we still won)
In Gordon we trust
We showed some composure
A couple of semi-tight plays at the end
Gordon again?
Wow. He’s becoming the superstar.
he missed the FT though almost made us lose
did he make the steal?
In Gordon we trust
by bestclipfan on Dec 14, 2009 10:10 PM PST up reply actions
That's what they're saying.
I guess he did.
by RockyMountain on Dec 14, 2009 10:11 PM PST up reply actions
Btw, Clipper fans should consider themselves lucky
Gordon is such a talent. In my mind, he never makes a bad decision. He may turn the ball over here and there, or he might shoot an air ball, but he is always thinking. I have never seen a player that is so aware of everything that is going on the floor. He is a true talent and we should consider ourselves lucky to have him.
yeah he dunked when he didn't have to
it is disrespectful salt in the wound
In Gordon we trust
by bestclipfan on Dec 14, 2009 10:11 PM PST up reply actions
man ef that
i would have done a windmill lol
hahahaaha now my feed comes back!
I think the feed was trying to save me from heartache if the wizards shot a 3 and made it!
it helps when the other team isn’t as clutch, wizs have lost in a ton of heart breakers already
by Fan of the Game on Dec 14, 2009 10:12 PM PST reply actions
BSkinnz and Kaman
That was the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. I love everyone and everything.
Yay yay.
PLAY SKINNZ!!!
The dude knows what he knows and does what he does.
BSkinnz is definitely a professional...
I’m not sure if we can expect Brian to grab every rebound like he did tonight, but that was great to see. After tonight, he should definitely get some minutes when the team is lacking energy. Hopefully he continues to come through. Brian Skinner will eat me and my small doubts.
Yay yay.
I knew you would like this game
but Kaman is not helping his tough guy image by helping help people on the other team when they fall down
In Gordon we trust
by bestclipfan on Dec 14, 2009 10:25 PM PST up reply actions
that was tremendous, and thanks the the thought :)
Kaman is above everything else a lover, and a fantastic one at that. And I think that kind heart shines through even in the darkest of fourth quarters and blowouts.
Yay yay.
Sool interview
He looks BUMMED. I think something really did go down betw him and BD
they will get over it
Baron was mad because he Arenas are real good friends and now he has to apologize to him
In Gordon we trust
by bestclipfan on Dec 14, 2009 10:25 PM PST up reply actions
they should get over
theyre grown men who should understand the circumstances…
skinner’s presence was known, he got lots of good boards
by Fan of the Game on Dec 14, 2009 11:02 PM PST reply actions
bskinnz eats and Wiz on Washington!
Roger Sterling: To my knees, Don. They're bringing to my knees!"
Rasual showed up to the game tonight!
I hope thats a sign for whats to come. We could really use that offense off the bench.
Rasual is the blackhole of basketball...
There are guys who are the blackhole of basketball, but they have the offensive talents to back it up; e.g. Dominique Wilkins. Rasual is not one of them. Any shot he makes is fool’s gold. He needs to move the ball if he’s not wide open for a spot up jumper, not try to beat his man off the dribble and try to pull off an awkward fade away. For tonight, he had one of his better shooting night, under 50% at 6/13 but good for him…as he’s only shooting 35% for the year. Contrast that with Gordon and the drop-off is huge. Al is a better defensive and offensive player than Rasual right now. Watch how often the ball swings to Butler and the shot goes up almost 70% of the time.

When a team goes down by 13, its very easy to quit
but they stepped up and came through with a win. Ill take it!
Exactly!
The Clippers could have easily gave up, but they didn’t. They continued to force the basketball into the paint and get to the foul line. I thought the Clippers played a good game, but after reading this thread many people gave up when it was only a 10-11 point lead.
yea so many doom and gloom post on this blog
im sick of it. i dont understand why they follow the team. if they want perfection. go to the Fakers blog
I agree 100%
I hear so many people complaining about the Clippers coach, players, defense, shooting, turnovers, fans, the list goes on. If you want perfection that will bore you to death go root for the Lakers.
I wouldn't say the Lakers play perfect
they just lost to Utah by ten
In Gordon we trust
by bestclipfan on Dec 14, 2009 11:25 PM PST up reply actions
Haha
I am not saying they play perfect, but I will say that they portray their franchise as the perfect organization. If you talk to a Laker fan they will tell you your team and players suck and that every player at every position on the Lakers is god sent.
and btw why are you defending the Lakers?
also, I watched every second of that Jazz Lakers game. D-Will is my favorite point gaurd. If only the Clipeprs had a point god like Deron Williams.
Not Doom and Gloom...
But realism and discerning fans. We’re not going to be mindless cheerleaders and root for a team when they play selfishly or give no effort. I’ve been a Clippers fan for twenty years. And there have been alot of bad years, many more bad years than good ones during that time. There were years when we had very little NBA level talent with the exception of one or two players who played their butts off every night. You give me that and I can respect it. I won’t like the losing, but I will respect the effort, energy, and basketball IQ. You want mindless cheerleading, you’re in the wrong place, kids. You can go to the Fakers blog for that.

I will never understand Dunleavy's substitutions...
Good thing that Arenas didn’t make that 3 at the end of the half and Young (I think?) didn’t make the 3 toward the end of the game, because this would’ve been another loss.. Anyway, nice to get a win headin’ for the road.
"look, you can find any coach you want, bring him in here and run the situation. But I don't think they are going to do as good a job as I do." -Mike Dunleavy Sr.
