so far so decent
At the game right now, pretty good crowd
On a side note, I love the Galaxy Nexus. This thing is incredible

:O Can I have your phone?!
I’ll be your best friend ever lol. But back to Clippers, I would advise whenever Gomes is in, you start the Thompkins chant! :)
can someone sum up the first half, for those that missed it?
box scores can be deceiving
Better effort on D.
Mo didn’t look comfortable with the second unit, and we couldn’t buy a call. Also, we committed some dumb turnovers.

Portland missed alot of shots
forget the game stats, that’s all you need to know
"Where will the Clippers be without Sean Rooks" - The big red head
Pros and Cons
Pros:
Clippers defense has been much better.
They are more focused on rebounding.
Caron is a great signing with some great points.
Cons:
We are getting almost NO calls from the refs
A lot of turnovers
We are lucky that Portland is missing
Gomes and the 2nd team is atrocious, including Mo’s “leadership”
Foye, wow
"Every existing thing is born without reason, prolongs itself out of weakness, and dies by chance" -Jean-Paul Sarte
Butler with the trey!!
"Every existing thing is born without reason, prolongs itself out of weakness, and dies by chance" -Jean-Paul Sarte
Speaking of Trey...
Let’s play him instead of Gomes?
No hesitation Caron!
Great shot. Although, I’ll admit that I would HATE it if you missed it :p
Butler has those killer O_O
"Every existing thing is born without reason, prolongs itself out of weakness, and dies by chance" -Jean-Paul Sarte
We are finally getting calls
"Every existing thing is born without reason, prolongs itself out of weakness, and dies by chance" -Jean-Paul Sarte
Finally getting some calls!
Gerald Wallace pushed him out mid jump. That’s NEVER safe.
Nate, you really going to complain?
You had every call in the first half! Also, why can’t VDN be like that. He should start yelling if we don’t get some of those calls!
Lob City?
Does it count if it doesn’t count in the game? haha
We look good out there, to an extent
"Every existing thing is born without reason, prolongs itself out of weakness, and dies by chance" -Jean-Paul Sarte
Is it just me
Or is Chris Paul in better shape? He started off kind of chubby and slow, but now he is looking good!
Nice start to the 2nd half
Lets keep up the tempo and D!

Hopefully we can keep this up!
I was afraid Portland would come in shooting lights out.
nice steal Paul getting back in shape
He bolted down the floor
by KillaClip on Jan 1, 2012 8:03 PM PST via mobile reply actions
Griffin should have contested that
But I don’t blame him, because I would rather we lose 2 points than Griffin having 4 fouls
Griffin having an off night?
So far he seems a little off. I think he had a great 1st, but it seems like it was just a hot hand?
blake is always better in the first... dubbed "Mr. 1st quarter" last year
he was 2nd in the league in 1st q ppg.
but year, 11/7/3/4to’s is not a great game
paul even only has 8/6
Give Lamarcus some credit
He is a very underrated defensive player and he is looong
"Where will the Clippers be without Sean Rooks" - The big red head
BG
Needs to hustle back on d — and stop whining!!!
"Success only comes before work inside of a dictionary!"
by Clipperoo on Jan 1, 2012 8:07 PM PST via mobile reply actions
Do you think he is flopping too?
I like him, but it seems that whenever he is slightly pushed or boxed out on the offensive board, he jumps back and yells. It seems he convinces himself that… he is fouled? Just my 2 cents. I love their aggression though!
I have to agree
He was flopping enough to where a homer like me was getting annoyed.
id get a pick and roll
With Butler and Griffin going
by KillaClip on Jan 1, 2012 8:08 PM PST via mobile reply actions
I think Griffin's pick and role with Paul is a little awkward.
But that should improve!
Ahh....fond memories of Camby as a clipper

Take that shot BG!
I think you are playing a great game, but you are so close to the basket, just shoot instead of dribbling and almost losing it! Also, Foye! Don’t ask for the ball and then dribble it out with 5 seconds to go!
Butler!!! Dude is on fuego!
"Every existing thing is born without reason, prolongs itself out of weakness, and dies by chance" -Jean-Paul Sarte

also Noah was in foul trouble
They just had better depth something we need
by KillaClip on Jan 1, 2012 8:19 PM PST via mobile up reply actions
I like that you went for the pass
But you gotta pull the trigger on that!
Nice steal by Mo
Blazers are over the limit, we need to keep being aggressive and go for the contact

told me that the lakers didnt try today because they beat the nuggets yesterday and have nothing to prove… goooooood logic
Wow, I didn't know Butler was a former criminal
"Every existing thing is born without reason, prolongs itself out of weakness, and dies by chance" -Jean-Paul Sarte
Many they REALLY don't want Griffin to dunk
They would rather Paul have the easiest layup possible rather than Griffin dunking!
Gonna see this a lot from here on out
Over coverage on Griffin= more scoring for everyone else
No Gomes!!! Urghh
"Success only comes before work inside of a dictionary!"
by Clipperoo on Jan 1, 2012 8:18 PM PST via mobile reply actions
DeAndre's free throws have been better
Ever since he started looking at the basket. I think the Hack a DeAndre was actually helpful for us! haha
Mo is in GREAT physical shape
much credit for that

"For [Griffin] getting in the way of Andre Miller’s 40 yard dash?" -S. Perrin
This stressful season, we better see more of him!
I don’t like how VDN is playing the starters some harsh minutes. I think he has to change his plans a little.
i like how blake and deandre go get the shot before it goes in on a dead ball
actually has a psychological impact
At least he made one!
Progress.

C'mon Gomes
"Every existing thing is born without reason, prolongs itself out of weakness, and dies by chance" -Jean-Paul Sarte
Come on Cook and Gomes!
Cook is slow on defense and he doesn’t stay with the dang ball! ANd Gomes travels! Also VDN, YOU CAN’t PLAY GRIFFIN THE WHOLE 3rd QUARTER
Who else does he have???
"Every existing thing is born without reason, prolongs itself out of weakness, and dies by chance" -Jean-Paul Sarte
can we play thompkins..he's still green and probably still trying to learn the system..
but it should be better than gomes.
You just got your wish
"Every existing thing is born without reason, prolongs itself out of weakness, and dies by chance" -Jean-Paul Sarte
Mike Smith - "they're winning it with defense"
Sure Mike……Portland is missing LOTS of shots. It’s just one of those nights, every team goes through it.
"Where will the Clippers be without Sean Rooks" - The big red head
its a combo of both
deandre is doing a job on LA
He only has one block shot
Thats great since he is staying with his man
"Every existing thing is born without reason, prolongs itself out of weakness, and dies by chance" -Jean-Paul Sarte
Clippers get some credit
but let’s not be delusional. A win will make us think we’re a better team all of a sudden. I don’t buy it, and I certainly don’t see anything different (defensive scheme wise) than the previous 2 games. Portland is just missing shots but I do admit we are playing with more energy.
"Where will the Clippers be without Sean Rooks" - The big red head
We are playing decent defense
And they are missing some shots. Pretty good in my book!
Cook and Gomes are the dirt worst.
Notice how much better Portland looks when we put those scrubs out there. UGH.

Should happen any day now
Within minutes you can see he knows what he’s supposed to do out there.

Never over with a full quarter to go
But things looking very good.
by dulciusXasperis on Jan 1, 2012 8:29 PM PST up reply actions
Thanks for the 3 Mo!
However, I think if he missed, we would ALL say it was a terrible shot. On a side note, how does Trey not get more time than that Gomes guy?
He will have to earn his time
So far he is, as LJ said, by years end i see him as a key part of the frontcourt bench (along with either Reggie or another aquired bigman)
Eh
He is the best option on the floor, and it was the end of the quarter. Probably would be some complaining though.
Trey looks very good. Better than Gomes or Cook.
Looks like we shut down Wallace
"Every existing thing is born without reason, prolongs itself out of weakness, and dies by chance" -Jean-Paul Sarte
Lets see what Thompkins has
Give him some more shots I sure don’t trust Gomes and Cook with the Ball play two man game with Mo
by KillaClip on Jan 1, 2012 8:29 PM PST via mobile reply actions
i didnt like that Mo three attempt...
…only glad it went in

with only 13 players
chauncey, reggie, and bledsoe hurt, that leaves 10. so we cant rest our starters fully
Did Foye block Crawford's initial shot?

You aren’t really doing anything on D.
He aint doing anything on the offense either...

Seriously?
Your not glad he at least made it?

I take it back. That’s nothing like the last 30 years. That’s like the one great year with Sammy.

Wasn’t pretty in the 4th. But things still don’t look quite so bad when we’re not playing one of the 5 or 6 best teams in the league like the last 2 games. That’s a good but not great team, and we were the better team most of the night.

Good answer for showing he made a mistake.

No, but Ralph and Mike kept on saying how good Foye was
Just thought it was ironic. Of course I agree with the move.
he looked great out there
no way you pull him. He’s just like Manu and Odom. Come off the bench but play huge minutes. Kept the Clips in this game.

Oh I am for sure not arguing against the move
More like congratulating VDN on actually playing smart for once.
Any questions?
As to why you give up so much for the likes of Chris Paul?
CP3: TWO games won in the clutch.
EJ: THREE straight games missed due to injury.
Any questions?

CP3 is our closer. Butler is a reliable SF. Blake and DJ hold the front court.
Ball movement looked great in the first half. Good win. We still need to fix things, but we will be a dangerous team.
In the second half...
The ball needed to be swung side to side more. To many times the offense relied on a guard over dribbling trying to create something from nothing.
He really is like Sam...
except CP3 has more of a nice-guy image, while Sam was in-your-face and just pure swag.

Wonder if we would have been the same with Billups?
I thought that our defense was terrific. Maybe our 1 on 1 defense wasn’t great, but we played with a lot of energy and got some important steals!
IMO he has looked really slow this year
He still hasnt played with the revitalized offense of the past few days though.
If we weren't such a bad shooting team
…we’d have been leading by 30 instead of 17
bad shooting team?
Huh? This is the best shooting Clippers team ever. Went a little cold in the 4th, but shooting definitely isn’t this team’s problem.

Once again however...we are reminded how much we need a backup big
and waive Brian Cook. Please.
Yes!
Neil was saying before the game how there were no good 7 footers out there. I still think just getting Diogu back would be nice- he is far superior to Cook at the 4 and 5, and bigger and stronger than Gomes at the 4
For the first 3 quarters...
…the Blazers were the worst shooting team I’ve ever seen!
Here is something I don't like on the stats.
R. Gomes 12:08 1-1 0-0 0-0 -1 0 0 0 0 1 0 4 0 0 2
T. Thompkins 01:40 1-1 0-0 0-0 +1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 2
T. Leslie DNP – COACH’S DECISION
Total
What the heck is that? Gomes gets 10x the minutes Thompkins does and he makes how many more turnovers? Get out of here VDN. And Leslie gets NONE?! Come on now
im sure its some bullshit about the rookies having to "earn" the minutes
absolutely stupid. gomes looked terrible tonight and brian cook is simply not an NBA caliber player
But Ryan Gomes has high basketball IQ!
At least we’re told. But unfortunately it doesn’t translate much into actual ability.
Liking Trey so far and hope he can get more minutes soon.
Blazers no longer undefeated
Courtesy of LAC! Happy new year folks!

I'm quite pleased with a 2-2 record
with games against Warriors on the road, San Antonio on the road, Bulls home and Portland home. That is pretty solid under the circumstances :)
Lol at Laker fans
Now they are all saying it was Kobe’s fault and that Nuggets were EXTREMELY lucky. My Laker-friend fans are also saying that Clippers only won because CP3 made that 3, so we are just luck.
Yeah they are saying it was just a fluke
That kobe was like 6/24 (1/8 from 3 pointer). Tell me, if he isn’t making them… WHY LET HIM SHOOT EVEN MORE!!
Sadly, I'm eating my words about Bynum
Dang is he killing it.
If he doesn't miss any time due to injury this season...
it’ll be a medical miracle.

CP3 is the closer
Now we know why the CP3 trade was such a great trade!!!
Don't ask DeAndre why 1 block?!
If you want him to get more blocks, you will also complain that he has weak defense. I would rather he plays defense like this and get 1 or 2 blocks a night!
amen to that
His defense was just about flawless

Between the blocks and that lockdown D...
he might be DPOY, or a close second.

yeah no way Blake plays him that well on defense.
Lucky all Blake had to do was defend an offensively challenged Camby.

Talking about defense -
I’m so glad Portland did not succeed in making Blake a non-factor. As far as i remember, Blake has had trouble with LA in every single game he has played against him, but not today. Also significantly better all-around rebounding from the whole team
Ouch Griffin
Griffin spent most of the night complaining about no-calls, which has become one of his bad habits.
ESPN Go. Sadly, I agree
Too true
He complains so much that he is often way out of position for defense which than forces DJ to swing over and help. This leaves a man or a cutter open and creates easy hoops for the other team.
Wasn't it mentioned before that MDsr
coached EJ and BG to complain more to the officials?
when you hear the Clippers, it’s not going to be a joke anymore. I can guarantee you that -BG32
I'm not sure about that
but certainly understand why they do, both are built so solidly that hits by opposing players just bounce off them. This leads officials to allow them to get beat up on which is probably infuriating as they feel that they should be receiving more calls.
"It's better to be an optimist who is sometimes wrong than a pessimist who is always right"unknown
Randy Foye is a different player as a starter
Maybe the Clippers should continue starting him and bring Williams and Billups off the bench.
Work Harder
Portland score as many points in the fourth quarter as in the entire first half. That’s how lazy our defense got. We have to change those habits and work even harder
yes and no
on paper, yes. But that thinking isn’t correct. Wouldn’t our bench be better if we put CP3 Blake Caron and DJ on the bench? But that makes our starters worse. To top it off, there’s no way that Billups consents to being a reserve. Might as well waive him
Billups consenting would be an issue. Its all for naught if the Clippers cant get him to buy in
Still, i like the idea as the Clippers have enough fire power in their starting five where they can manage with Foye as a starter. Foye seems to really play better as a starter and Billups and Mo would do wonders shoring up a weak bench.
