the last few times I've just gotten lucky
but yeah, Steve’s point earlier today about not having lives definitely is a big part of my success. However if the clips lose tonight I’ll resign from the world of clipsnation open thread first post posting, purely for nonsensical superstitious reasons, of course.

I'm still wondering what we'll do if Bron Bron won't come to LA in the summer.
Hopefully we resign all 3 new comers.
OMG, Kaman at the point!

Wow if Gordon starts cutting like that
he’s gonna be very tough to guard
Baron has 4 assists already

Ha, they took that 3 away
Where’s the crew?

man do I love the hustle of this team.. wish we could've seen this from the old team all season..
would’ve won more games, I’m sure.
"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.
Yup, it's all about the ball movement...
….never have seen this with Dunleavy coaching the team. They just have to reduce the turnovers.
PHX lightin' it up again! Get some stops damnit!

It's sad but the Suns playing style allows them to make mistakes and win games
The Clippers can’t afford a bad quarter in this game where the Suns could have a poor third and hit some threes in the 4th the Clippers can’t have any long term droughts.
Yea
I get the feeling that we have to play the perfect game… Either that, or we need to dictate the pace better.
Just like last game: Can we run with these guys and still beat them?
"i know huh........freakin clippers man.....its like a wild ride rooting for this team....gotta love em....(sometimes) lol" In GrIfFin We TrUsT
weird seen a player that good
being so shy! thats a rarity in the NBA
Baron only had 3 shots in the 1st half
Good sign

lacking energy to start the 2nd half

How does Hill just waltz right by us?

Kaman came to impress tonight
"i know huh........freakin clippers man.....its like a wild ride rooting for this team....gotta love em....(sometimes) lol" In GrIfFin We TrUsT
Gordon red hot with only 6 shots
Kaman is doing great, but we’ve got to mix things up
"i know huh........freakin clippers man.....its like a wild ride rooting for this team....gotta love em....(sometimes) lol" In GrIfFin We TrUsT
We need more young talent
Our guys are just to slow
How do they make it look so easy, and we make it look so hard?
"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.
did deandre's dog die or something?
He looks completely disinterested and zero energy level. Not like him at all. Bad night for him to sleepwalk through a game.
by Joe Wolf's Mullet on Mar 3, 2010 9:12 PM PST via mobile reply actions
Need more talent
we have a lot of hustle players but we don’t have the beat you on talent players
It doesn't appear that ....
….the Clips are trying to win this game. Hughs is trying to tell Kaman and Baron something
At least they didn't out smart us this time
Just out ran us
Just Awful
Let’s talk about the lottery
"i know huh........freakin clippers man.....its like a wild ride rooting for this team....gotta love em....(sometimes) lol" In GrIfFin We TrUsT
Had a 1 point lead at the half.. down by 20 after the 3rd.. wow
"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.
so tired of this morgue they call the staples center
And I’m not talking right now when they’re being blown off the floor, I mean overall. No home court advantage, no energy from any of the fans besides one chunky loud guy in a red and blue suit. I’ve seen louder crowds at wimbledon, ugh.
by Joe Wolf's Mullet on Mar 3, 2010 9:21 PM PST via mobile reply actions
Of course they own us...
…they beat the Clips when the Clips had their best team ever, and the Suns were playing with Tim Thomas replacing Amare amd Kurt Thomas
the 3 pointers don't bother me
The offensive rebounds on the few they miss bother me.
by Joe Wolf's Mullet on Mar 3, 2010 9:23 PM PST via mobile reply actions
Hughs apparently decided...
…sometime during the third quarter that he was going to give them the game to prove a point to Kaman and maybe Baron
Maybe it's..
…“no rebounds,,,,reduced playing time”
Man being a Clippers fan sucks
I left work at halftime and we were up by 1… I get home for the start of the 4th and we are down 21????
FA in 2010.
You look up masocist in the dictionary...
… you see a picture of a Clipper fan!
Cool
what happens when I look up masochist then? Does this make the Clippers a band of sadists?
FA in 2010.
Whats with the Baron hate
from what I can tell he’s played well tonight. 10 assist 1 turnover… +/- is 0 which is damn good considering the score.
FA in 2010.
Kaman
had a good first from what I saw on the box score. The 3rd quarter must have been ugly.
FA in 2010.
everyone starts demanding a kaman and baron trade when the team is losing
despite what they’re doing on the floor. surely you’ve noticed that by now.

Couple of things we need to beat the Suns next season
-a Scoring wing sixth man
-A strong post player a PF
-Faster players
Nah
We need someone to do Tonya Harding Steve Nash’s knee.
We need a shipment of HGH.
LBJ, MJ and Magic need to suit up for us.
FA in 2010.
we dont need faster players, just.....hmmmm....more talented ones and smarter....if we can play our game like in 05-06, then we'll be just fine. :)

apparently he’s one of the faces of the franchise lol

Wow to think we got badly
They don’t have Barbosa
Channing Frye is the GOAT now
next year at the three point contest a player should have a clipper stand in front of them. They won’t miss any shots.

Gordon sure is impressive huh
1 rebound in the last 77 minutes of court time. You almost have to run away from the ball to manage that.
FA in 2010.
back to back 20 point games and the only semblance of a 3 point threat we have lately and you choose to pick on his rebounding? really?
by Joe Wolf's Mullet on Mar 3, 2010 9:54 PM PST up reply actions
Only 3 point threat?
Butler has been on fire lately. Made 2 more tonight (and Steve Blake was 4-5). And yes, we got crushed on the boards tonight (30-50). Kaman had 9 rebounds, which is almost twice as many as anyone else on the Clips.
FA in 2010.
butler 1-6 vs utah 2-6 tonight...yep en fuego
just think that’s an odd target to pick on. gordon’s hardly the problem. gooden and deandre looked like they got woken up out of a 5 yr coma and were shoved onto the court. pathetic game by each of them, zero presence. very disappointing from two guys who are usually very active.
by Joe Wolf's Mullet on Mar 3, 2010 10:02 PM PST up reply actions
34 3s in the 10 games coming in
Yea, cherry pick the last game and leave out how he was 3-5 in Sacramento. Anyways its clear EJ isn’t our only 3pt threat. EJ’s rebounding is atrocious, so was Baron’s from what I can tell. In a game against a team that shoots a lot of jumpers your guards should have more rebounds than usual.

You would think if the Clippers had pride they would give it their all all 48 minutes and finally get the SUns back for dominating them big letdown kim hughes should let them have it
cant wait till like 3 years down the road
well have a championship and be the most dominant team in the league :)
You would think after like 5 of channings open threes they would actually guard him but eh all par for the course
