It's the Clippers...

Print...so of course they let New Jersey, a fine young group of hard-working ballplayers, get their fourth win of the season. We all knew that this would happen. Eric Gordon in a comeback game. Kaman versus Lopez. A Camby rib injury. Missing free throws. A new third (4th?) string point guard making his debut, and Baron Davis just, well... not feeling it. I don't even know what happened. I watched the first half pretty carefully and then saw the Clips make up the deficit and then New Jersey responded and then things started getting weird and the zhivwife came home so I hustled through the rest of the game and...
it's the Clippers, Jake. Of course they lost to New Jersey. Didn't you know we were tanking.
Now that's what we like to call--too often, in too many seasons past--a quality loss.
Just waiting for the fearless leader to field this one.

Once agian....
Baron Davis showed us he is the leader of this team. 2-10 shooting. 6 points and 4 assists in 30 minutes! I like how he let former Clipper Keyan Dooling totally out-play him. Dooling ende dthe game with 18 points and 8 assists.
I also find it sad that Bobby Brown, who hasn’t even practiced with the team, gets more points and assists than Baron in half the time on the court.
About the game, it wasn’t pretty. Kaman shot 50% but he had more than his share of turnovers (5 turnovers) and he just seemed lost on both ends of the court.
Camby went out with a injury to his ribs, and only played 6 minutes. That really hurt the defense and our ability to rebound.
Gordon came out early with 5 points, and finished with 12 points, 7 rebounds, and 3 assists. He did have 4 turnovers, but those can be expected as his timing was off from not playing b/c of an injury.
The biggest thing in this game was a lack of passion to want a win, and the lack of effort on the defensive end of the court.

EJ was one of the Main reasons we lost, dude was all Buter fingers the whole time on the court.

bada bing!
did they hit the other White House while in Yeurzee?
Roger Sterling: To my knees, Don. They're bringing to my knees!"
yup
We can also agree he can’t shoot (but that doesn’t stop him).
A Frustrating game...its the Clippers
What a team. What can go wrong will go wrong.
This is going to be my team, and we're going to rise together.

ROCK BOTTOM!
Trade baron, trade kaman, trade camby, trade butler, trade eric, kick sterling and dunleavy out of town, blow up the entire team and start over with griffin and thorton.
Hmm
trade Eric but keep Thornton? That’s a odd move. I think Baron, Kaman and Camby are good players but EJ and BG are obviously the key to breaking the Clipper Curse.

I was kidding
lol…i know nothing about the most valuable players on the team… the only reason I said keep thorton was because he’s a sophomore.
You can't trade player's that no team want's.
Also MDsr. and BrickSool are joined at the Hip so Surgery would be necessary for that one.

How can the Clippers face
their fans in LA with this kind of non-performance?
What is it with BaDavis who at times like this just raised his hands and gives up. Unfortunately, he is the thermometer of the team that when he is not in the mood to play, everybody follows suit. If there is one big reason why we lose games like tonight is that the team lacks Heart and Character.
Ridiculous

But ya, this game sucked. I usually try to stay measured after these kind of games, but hey—- I felt after this game that the 2009-10 season died last night. Too many good teams in front of the Clips; can’t drop games to one of the worst teams in NBA history. Baron and Camby now hurt, if they feel the season is over too, we’ll see how quickly those guys make it back on the floor. Ugh.

How come Thorton doesn’t get anymore minutes? he tries hard…Coach D does not know how to use his players. I feel sorry for Camby, he should try and win a title somewhere..

AT is giving us nothing :-(
Camby does deserve to go to a title contender, but the Clippers aren’t done just yet. The might be tho by Feb 18th (trade deadline)

Clippers lose to dreadful Nets
Either Bobby Brown or Mike Dunleavy is bad luck!!
I think this game shows us at least one thing
This game truely shows us who should be traded. It was a game the showed what really lied underneath after the numbing effects of the drugs wore off, all off the aching spots showed up. It may not be limited to the players only. It seemed no limb or digit was exempt. I have yet yo bash Baron. I detest his “chucking” and love his passing. I abhor his complaining to the refs instead of getting back on D and I love his fierceness. But in all, this I will say; that I question last night if he was really hurt. I did not get to see the game.
Gordon tried hard. Kaman? That level of focal inconsistancy is best reserved for the bench where it can be better regulated; when he’s hot give him more mins, when he’s not….deandre? I offer no resolutions that have not been already offerered on this board, but I do contribute my disdain.

I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend...
not like we haven’t seen worse, buck up emo Clips fans
This is Phase One in the 5-step Phase Program to land John Wall and LeBron James.
