Clipper Philosophy 101
I’m not going to get my hopes up but I have my hopes up…
Well, at least we're not down by 20 yet
"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.
Not bad
We don’t look intimidated. The Spurs put their pants on one leg at a time.
Blake's tests tomorrow
Lisa Dillman just tweeted that Griffin will undergo his tests tomorrow the 22nd.
DJ still needs a lot of work
"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.
Dunleavy doesn't have a clue.
Against the Knicks Kaman got an early rest, against the Sixers Kaman didn’t rest until the 2nd, and tonight he goes with the early rest.
The ATDHE.net is always blocked by the admin lately
…..any good stream you wanna share?
No way.
I really want to watch, win or lose. That’s the only way I’ll know what’s wrong with the team. Or EJ for that matter.

lol
Who thought we really had a chance in the firs place we need a change of culture to take it to the next step fire Dunleavy.
Keep it close, Clips!
I’d almost rather be down by a few, the way the last two games have gone.
Does anyone have a live feed?
I did not pay my directv bill..
mediocre team.. that's all we're going to be with this group
"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.
Agree 100%
I’d rather blow it all up and build around Gordon, Griffin, and cap space. We’re never going to be better than average with the way this team is built.
As built we have players that would contribute nicely on other team, but don’t fit together.
Our team was built on reactions from problems. We weren’t built with a vision.
Somebody's got to get hot
We can’t keep scraping out baskets. AT seems more likely to step up than EJ right now
If EJ has a midrange jumper
he’ll be unstoppable.
by RockyMountain on Dec 21, 2009 6:27 PM PST up reply actions
I think if we can keep this close
we can surprise them in the 4th. I want the team to figure out the opponent in the 4th, not in the first 3 quarters. Because lets face it, teams adjust to us better than we adjust to them. So maybe we have a chance if we keep it close.
oh yeah that's gonna happen
we are going to win this game in the 4th quarter, then tomorrow brett farv is gonna anounce his retiremente after the season, and actually retire
Gordon's heating up
"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.
AT's playing power forward
Have we given up on Smith?
Apparently

When was the last time we finished a quarter off with a good set?
What was EJ doing, dribbling those last seconds away?
why'd he back all the way out to half court lol
Leave the play making to Baron, EJ just doesn’t have that ability.
by dulciusEXasperis on Dec 21, 2009 6:42 PM PST up reply actions
need better defense
Stay with your man no more zone
yeah I hate the zone
Why do we always zone up.
by dulciusEXasperis on Dec 21, 2009 6:43 PM PST up reply actions
We just aren't capable of beating good teams.
The reasoning is simple: we aren’t a good team.
I've got nothing.
2nd half
Confused by Dunleavy’s comments who isn’t a good shooter on the Spurs?
EJ has got to finish that
but should of been a foul call.
by dulciusEXasperis on Dec 21, 2009 7:00 PM PST reply actions
think hes doing a decent job just duncan is a machine
kaman causing duncan a few problems at the other end too
Kaman is having a heck of a game
course I’m going off the box score but 19 pts 15 rebounds and only midway through the 3rd?
FA in 2010.
Alright Bassy
Here’s your chance to play some big minutes
by dulciusEXasperis on Dec 21, 2009 7:13 PM PST reply actions
Kinda felt like the refs were picking on him a bit
He did have some bad luck out there.
by dulciusEXasperis on Dec 21, 2009 7:17 PM PST up reply actions
tomorrow @ Houston.. Should look similar to this game

lol this was never really close
They toyed with us
they got 3good looks on the last play
If Mr. Perrins misses all this in his review I have a Epic Fail sign ready.
Well this is what happens when you're bench doesn't show up
6 points to their 27……
by dulciusEXasperis on Dec 21, 2009 7:24 PM PST reply actions
Alright Blake getting test done tomorrow
Thank God!
by dulciusEXasperis on Dec 21, 2009 7:25 PM PST reply actions
lol well at least we'll get some sort of news
Just need something, this whole ordeal has been ridiculous

that was such a BS kick ball call.. not that it really matters.. LOL
"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.
How do you get beat by 25 points?
Again how do you get beat by 25 points TWICE by the same team, didn’t you learn the first time?
Nice Fu*king bench the Clips got!
supposed to be our strong point. sure. one of the clip players needs to throw a punch or kick the ball into the stands and show some emotion!
"Every man dies, not every man really lives."
33 point comeback, it sounds like
Holy crap
nice when you have a bench who can pour out 53 points.
I’m jealous they have Evans. Not that I wish we picked him over Blake just always liked those large PG’s.
He might not be a pass first PG but he’s a solid defender and a pretty good scorer. He’s been big for them in crunch time with a huge steal against Arenas to secure the win and a game winner against the Bucks.

only 185 days til the draft!
"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.
Evans is a monster and Jenningsis there to
Blake better have what it takes or Evans is going to look like the steal of the draft this guy is no fluke.
Game was lost when Kaman sat in the 1st
And EJ had his 2nd lousy game in a row vs the Spurs
we should trade for nate robinson. he can score off the bench 4 sure
"Every man dies, not every man really lives."
Count me in.. Something needs to change here

NY won't take Telfair's contract
Trade Mardy?
Bassy + Skinner for Nate works...

No thanks on the Nate thing, I think that guy is the last kind of player the Clips need.
San Antonio played great today, and the Clippers didn’t, but I don’t think this is one of those losses that warrants trade talk.
Yay yay.

Trade Exception
Don’t we have a trade exception left? We could just take him for free once he’s off the base year compensation I think.

Change was meant by firing Dunleavy
This team thinks too much while holding the thought processes of a losing team.We play like the no talent teams 3 years ago and before.We need a shake up something to get this team excited and confident.
I'm not a Dunleavy hater
but I suspect you’re right anyway. Didn’t Bird once say that coaches lose their effectiveness after 3 years?
Dunleavy killed DJ's confidence
He should of played against the Knicks or 76ers limited bigs to build confidence. No he threw him out first quarter to the Spurs.
Well, Griffin supposedly has his tests tomorrow.
Any good news from that would help to put this game to rest.
I know KA will dodgegoinginto why this was an Epic Fail
Steve I believe will deliver the hard truth
Guys, it's good we didn't win.
First, Brian Skinner played well against Washington. Then we won in Philly after one of those “I can’t believe that happened, that was the most ridiculous shit I’ve ever seen” plays actually went in the Clippers favor. If the Clippers won in San Antonio I would be sure that the apocalypse was upon us. Now the Clips got blown out in San Antonio and I can breathe a sigh of relief — at least for now. Hopefully when the apocalypse does come, Brian Skinner will eat it.
Yay yay.
Not sure if you've made your point
Can Brian Skinner also eat axioms of logic?
this week of games is the beginning of the end of the clippers season if they keep playing iso post kaman every single play.....
Loss to SA, most likely loss to Houston, small chance against Suns, small chance against Celtics.
