lol introductions
haha celtics are like all happy and loud and we just walk and clap
at least he's playing some d
This is going to be my team, and we're going to rise together.
-Clipper Darrell
why doesn’t taylor play more? he was doing pretty well for us before the injury. the last two games it seems like MDsr just uses him for defense and fouls.
HE's been out too long...
At this point, Freddie Jones and Mardy have sorta locked up the backup PG role…and Baron is playing with some effort now. So he’ll have to earn his way back…that defensive breakdown against rondo didn’t help.

danm i fell asleep and miss the first quarter
we are winning cool
sam i am interview
says he’s just chillin here in LA. still has his house here and isn’t planning to go anywhere.
i bet half of them aren't even from boston
and are just people who don’t wnat to cheer for the lakers, but still want to cheer for a winner.
just like the countless “red sox fans”.
hope hes ok.
EJ’s streak ends tonight in scoring in double figures
rondo
why didnt he shoot? at least take a chance…`
this lineup sucks..
i dunleavy trying to lose it…
they were down one, and he puts a lineup of mardy, ricky, zach, novak and jones in
ricky
we gotta take him out right now… he is doing really really bad
what is up with him? i'd rather see collins or jones...why is he still in the depth chart

i think for us to be so close to the celtics, they should be WAY louder
oh man this is when EJ was always best at pulling away for us in close games. someones going to have to step up
yup that's what i'm afraid of...jones maybe?

paul pierce really isnt very stable… i didnt watch his “injury” last year but i didnt believe those “paulie pierce” things until now
how about you sit ricky down and bring novak in...mardy or jones will find him on a drive
"Duck, Crab. Crab, Duck"
Roger Sterling - Mad Men

"Duck, Crab. Crab, Duck"
Roger Sterling - Mad Men
no
the refs let the celtics play. which game were you watching? did you see that baron foul? they called all the ticky tack fouls on the clips.
Dodgers - 2008 NL West Champions
Cardinals - 2008 NFC Champions
camby's putback was clearly an OFF foul...he got away with it...

Congratulations on a hard fought win
I was honestly for the Celtics though because I don’t want the Lakers to end up with a better record than the Celtics. Good stuff though.
There you go
Great effort by the Clips. Biggest game of the season by far. I think that a lot of us saw the fact that the Clips had a chance to stay in the game coming, but going through it and coming out with a victory is something else. Fairly epic, in this dismal season.
Wow. Wow. Wow.
The cost is that Gordon might have suffered a serious blow for rookie recognition by both getting off to a slow start tonight, and then getting hurt. But we know that EJ is good enough and solid enough that he’ll bounce right back, and the injury doesn’t seem serious. It was great that they were calling the fouls on those screens—especially since Gordon got taken out of the game on one of them.
Baron played well again, stayed within himself, went to the boards.
Randolph and Camby are a very good combination. And Randolph wasn’t even at his best, going against physical Celts—though no KG is of course a huge factor. But it was obvioius that he was going to get in his licks. Let’s not forget that the Clips didn’t have Thornton or Kaman or, essentially, Gordon.
Fred Jones was awesome. Huge shot, a huge steal, lots of great plays. He makes Ricky Davis look very weak, and he did a great job on D on Ray Allen.
But the game ball goes to Mardy Collins. Unbelievable, going head to head with Paul Pierce. He was effective and played great defense. It worked out for him when his floater fell into Randolph’s hands for the winning basket. He earned it.
Mardy Collins
Talk about a surprise. That trade with the Knicks got two perfect MDSr. fits in Zach and Mardy.
F-Elton!
was reading an old issue of SI today
and some punk named Mannix ripped MDSr for the Z-Bo deal. The paragraph sat next to a photo of Zach in a Clips uni laying up on someone, so obviously the piece was written after Zach had already started to light it up, but it was before the fans really got to see the value in Mardy.
Great game, Clippers fans!
Hats off to you guys from a Warrior fan who’s team is also struggling in this lost season!
ooooooooooooooo
u cursed, when ur not supposed to. OOOOOOO
Sorry sorry
Clippers, there fixed it.

C’mon Sabonis. I just reminded everyone, what with the Yahooligans coming over. You Blazers fans and your potty mouths!
Good job policing the language citizen highriser!

home game deal against #2 in the east
http://www.clippershq.com has a deal on the Cavs game. The Boston game today looked packed!
yes,
I was at the game, the greatest thing about the game was when the clippers were doing well, the clipper fans would cheer and the celtics fan booed. Then a laker fan would cheer on the clippers and in unison, fans from both team would scream “sit down kobe” “lakers suck”
I can’t believe Collins was running the show?!!
