PrintFirst of all, Happy Bastille Day everyone. I should find Rodrique Beaubois or Mickeal Gelabale and do a quick French language interview. You know - because I can.
OK, so it seems like my laptop is working again here.
Clippers - Hornets. I was hoping for some more NBA-quality bigs to push Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan a little, but I don't see Courtney Sims on the Hornets bench, so that may not be happening.
Seems like I picked the right day to focus on DeAndre Jordan. In his first seven minutes on the court, he went 3 for 3 from the field (all dunks) and even made his two free throws. He also blocked a shot. Not bad.
What do you need to know about the Hornets? Their summer league backcourt is first round pick Darren Collison, who went to some school in the greater LA area I guess, and second round pick Marcus Thornton. And third year player Julian Wright, drafted a few spots ahead of Al Thornton in 2007, is here as well. They're starting Earl Barron at the center - a seven footer out of Memphis who has been in the bigs a couple of times.

Hey Steve!
Was there on Sunday and watched all the games but the last half of the last summer league game of the day… Did you get to sit next to the coaches in their section or did you just do the regular seats? I tried to talk to the Rockets GM if they wanted to trade for Kaman or Camby in exchange for one of their SF…he was polite enough to just be vague and say that his team was looking at all the possibilities…but I’d love to take Chase Budinger off their hands…
Morey being tight-lipped, eh?
Way to go for it though. I’m in the press area most of the time, so I can set up the lap top. but sometimes I just watch from the seats.

Morey was a good guy...
Was nice enough to pose for a picture with my cousin (big rockets fan) who pointed out Morey to me. Anyway, if they don’t have room in their roster for him, I wish the Clips could take a look at Leunen—plays defense and shoots well. I wonder if we can get Budinger and Leunen for a straight up trade for Camby or Kaman…?
Eric Gordon...
Is going to beast Jaycee Carroll.

Salim Stoudamire takes that award
I thought it was homeless guy on the court
It's been a ragged game...
Watching these games closely this year, I’ll tell you this – these guys are playing hard. Most of them are playing for their job – a job somewhere. Either in the NBA or the D-League or in Europe…. but the better they play, the better league / better deal they get. And they are playing their butts off. Even the guaranteed contract NBA guys seem to work hard, because they mostly have something to prove.

Griffin....
Defensive rebound above the rim, outlet pass, fills the lane, hits DJ for the dunk. That was a play.

EJ is working hard on his post up...
Only problem…. he won’t be defended by Jaycee Carroll in the NBA. I like a good Utah St. Aggie as much as the next guy…. but of course EJ is going to beast Carroll.

he said he didn't say it in a sarcastic way basicly
he only wants him if he can come off the bench
In Gordon we trust
is it halftime??

Half time update
42-35 Clippers. Gordon and Jordan have 14 each. BG is stuck on 5, same as Taylor.
In this world, you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant. Well, for years I was smart. I recommend pleasant. - Elwood P. Dowd
Obviously...
Clippers should in theory be handling this team better… the starters played big minutes because the second unit didn’t do it. They need to get BG more than 4 shots… but 3 assists is nice. He’s got a lot of skills.

BG will get his points I don't know if he will get 20 and 10 again but
he will score more. But he was doing so many other things that it hardly matters
In Gordon we trust
Hornets...
In their first game, Thornton had 22, Collison 19 and Wright 15. First half of this one, they have 4, 2 and 6… combined 4 for 13 shooting. so yeah, I’d think the Clippers would be up by 20 or so, instead of 7.
In this world, you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant. Well, for years I was smart. I recommend pleasant. - Elwood P. Dowd
yeah 2nd unit killed them in the beginning
but the Hornets are just out working them right now
In Gordon we trust
The stream is about as good as LAC's second unit.
Stuck in limbo.
Griffin
Here he comes. He’s so bloody strong.
In this world, you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant. Well, for years I was smart. I recommend pleasant. - Elwood P. Dowd
Collison is giving Taylor some trouble this half
On both ends
In this world, you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant. Well, for years I was smart. I recommend pleasant. - Elwood P. Dowd
Collison
This kid can run an NBA team…but what are the Hornets thinking by getting another PG when they have so many other needs on the floor?
DJ is very active in this one...
he’s got two blocks… and got a piece of that one after the foul… so he won’t get credit.
In this world, you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant. Well, for years I was smart. I recommend pleasant. - Elwood P. Dowd
PG
Was a pretty big need for them. Just not starting point guard. but they had nobody backing up CP3.

Blake...

he was talking about a joke that Charles Barkley made about
Don Mclain taking steroids. Barkley said that he had seen Don naked and that there is no way he took steroids
In Gordon we trust
Don Maclean was not on steriods
he’s seen him naked
Finally
Julian Wright shows up.

is trying to dunk at an impossible angle
Really bad stretch
For the Clippers

Is the game really this easy...?
Blake looks like he’s just playing in the playground with no one guarding him.
they are getting out played by these Hornets scrubs
at least Griffin, EJ and EJ are looking good.
In Gordon we trust
Griffin
Up to 14… 9 points in the quarter. But no one else is doing anything now.
In this world, you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant. Well, for years I was smart. I recommend pleasant. - Elwood P. Dowd
Hornets have gone small
Collison, Thornton and Calloway playing together. And the Clippers have not handled it well.

Still mostly out of control…. Collison is a tougher assignment also.
