Unbelievable that CP3 is having a terrible game
Mo is single handily keeping us in this game
"Every existing thing is born without reason, prolongs itself out of weakness, and dies by chance" -Jean-Paul Sarte
if Caron had made his 2 lay-ups and 1 free throw, it would only be a 2 point game.
but Caron is doing well other than that.
Yeah, theres something about the elevation in Portland
"Every existing thing is born without reason, prolongs itself out of weakness, and dies by chance" -Jean-Paul Sarte
blah
Feel like we should be down by 20+. We’re sloppy and our second unit gave back everything they gained in the first.
At least I'm also a Redskins fan... oh wait. My sports life sucks.
by Clipper T on Jan 10, 2012 8:18 PM PST via iPhone app reply actions
The bench gave us 20 points in 2 quarters
But yeah they looked bad and most of that 20 points is from Mo (11).

Can't believe, especially since I just dropped Mo from one of my fantasy teams

We are finally out rebounding a team!
"Every existing thing is born without reason, prolongs itself out of weakness, and dies by chance" -Jean-Paul Sarte
He threw up two bricks....bring in Trey
"Every existing thing is born without reason, prolongs itself out of weakness, and dies by chance" -Jean-Paul Sarte
Bring in Jones
We need someone who can play D and apparently it’s not Trey.
We got
Quite few lucky breaks por missed few ez layups

Mo-Chauncey-Caron trio playing ok
Caron needs to hit those layups though.
Mo: 11 points on 5-7 shooting, 4 assists, 3 rebounds, 2 TO in 15 min
Cp3: 0 points on 0-3 shooting, 1 assist, 3 rebounds, TO in 11 min.
Ouch
Must be CP3's new Jordans
"Every existing thing is born without reason, prolongs itself out of weakness, and dies by chance" -Jean-Paul Sarte
Nobody will buy them now
They are jinxed.
He is not a fastbreak PG whereas Mo is, but still, CP3 just looks flat out slow compared to Mo right now, and Mo is no Rose or Westbrook.
Maybe CP3 is "resting" for tomorrow's game
Hopefully he shows up his buddy Lebron
"Every existing thing is born without reason, prolongs itself out of weakness, and dies by chance" -Jean-Paul Sarte
I just dont know if he will ever be the same as he was 2+ years ago
This kind of game happened a lot last year for the Hornets.
Except in the playoffs, dude was ballin' beyond belief
He is just too passive with the Clips
"Every existing thing is born without reason, prolongs itself out of weakness, and dies by chance" -Jean-Paul Sarte
Thats was a mediocre coach would say
"Every existing thing is born without reason, prolongs itself out of weakness, and dies by chance" -Jean-Paul Sarte
Obviously, Reggie has been a bad influence

This is a lost game.
I really don’t see us bouncing back with the type of game we are playing.
C'mon it's like the earlier game vs. Portland @ Staples
Blazers came back

thank you Chris
you are a good shooter, feel free to do a heat check every once and awhile
VDN, if you are not going to coach, don't even show up.
This is just pathetic, there is this thing you can do to help the team. Quit.
seriously
are they really fouling out there. I swear refs sucking the cocks of this Blazers team right now

Dude had a bad first half, though

I HOPE CP3 gets a technical.
The refs have to know that they can’t pull this kind of crap. If they are going to call bs fouls like that, they better face the consequences on and off the court. I know for a fact that off the court they will get scolded for taking out the star of the game so early.
are you gonna get out on him DJ??????????????????????

If you are going to call bull crap on one side, be prepared to call it on both sides.
Great to see us scoring, but we need more stops!!

so much more exciting than blowouts (even when we’re losing)
You spoke a bit too early man
"Every existing thing is born without reason, prolongs itself out of weakness, and dies by chance" -Jean-Paul Sarte
GOD DAMN IT, PLAY DEFENSE
You are shooting lights out on offense, but you are leaving WIDE OPEN SHOTS!!
Portland should just take their starters out
"Every existing thing is born without reason, prolongs itself out of weakness, and dies by chance" -Jean-Paul Sarte
There goes Crawford
"Every existing thing is born without reason, prolongs itself out of weakness, and dies by chance" -Jean-Paul Sarte

why can't they defend?
Granted maybe not defend as well as Portland is right now but they’re just scrambling every other possession
by dulciusXasperis on Jan 10, 2012 8:47 PM PST up reply actions
Clippers, you deserve to lose this game if you keep it up.
I hate to be the one to say it, but they aren’t doing anything to help themselves. When they start knocking down shots, what do they do? They allow a WIDE OPEN SHOT.
I admit that VDN is to blame also.
But they are professionals, they shouldn’t leave shots THAT open.
I hate Raymond Felton so much
His face bothers me
we’re cheap, like to drink and are pissed off.

DJ another stupid foul.
This is a joke. I can’t stand to watch them right now.
Crawford has weak legs, he trys to draw fouls like that all the time
DJ shouldn’t let it happen though
Thank God for Butler!

why at the end of wuarters do we dribble out and launch threes off the dribble. Well-coached teams know to run a P&R at around 9 seconds
Whether Vinny is blame for not or not
He SHOULD be reminding them and putting them in position to create better ball movement.

That's alright.. Mo and Butler are keeping us in this game..
and I think Gomes is about to check in…

"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.
I like Mo as a player, but I am doubting his decisions.
He often pushes the ball when he shouldn’t, he trusts nobody on his team, and his shot selection is questionable. However, he is a solid player, but he needs to work on being a TEAM player.
He is 6-9 with one bad shot
He has 4 assists tonight, and is averaging 4.5 on the season in 22.5 minutes. How is that not trusting teammates?
Its hard when his 2nd unit teammates are Gomes, Cook, Evans, Foye
not exactly a trustworthy group on offense.

Don’t talk to Reggie as if it is his fault. You got trapped in the corner because your desire to be a one man team.
how many lay-ups do they have?

Paul has 4 fouls but he needs to play better d on Crawford

DeAndre has bad hands.

was a good game
till VDN decided to get involved…
I think I might do a purely rantish fanpost series
Studs of the game and Duds of the game.
Today’s Stars: Caron Butler, Chauncey Billups, Mo Williams
Today’s Duds: Chris Paul, DeAndre Jordan, Brian Cook, (Blake Griffin?)
Blake had a good 3rd quarter that kept us in the game with some of his outside shots oddly enough
Definitely put VDN in the Duds side.
Blake, even with the bad game, still walks away with 18 points, 12 boards
Otherwise looks good

Can he even jump on defense?
I swear he has cement blocks on his feet.
tis true
well not quite dud but not a stud by any means. Just leave him off the list.

I love that. It’s a loss, but we didn’t give. This game will help us learn a lot.
Thats was stupid, it looked intentional, since players kept looking at Vinny

i'm still confused
by the last 30 seconds… what?… i’m just like…. what?
NBA 2k12, despite its faults, got our coaching staff down pat
Iavaroni, Demoupoulos, and VDN all got Ds with no potential.
yeah seriously
I don’t even think Smith knows what he’s talking about half the time and yet he still knows the basics to playing in crunch time.
Vinny, what a joke.

This is the basic storyline of the game
More than VDN, more than Cook, more than questionable ref calls.
cp3
cp needs to turn on his playoff mode killer instinct, we need more of that type of cp3 , i think hes playing too conservative with his passing and what not. he can easily turn the game around if he wants to..
Clips' Nation
Eagles!
Reading the play by play
it was 100-97 w/ 26 seconds left and the Clips decide to foul? WHY???!
when you hear the Clippers, it’s not going to be a joke anymore. I can guarantee you that -BG32
didn't look intentional
just Blake being too enthusiastic

I don't blame VDN on this one.
It’s obvious that the call was NOT to foul, and Blake did a stupid thing. He got too aggressive. You could tell that he knew he made a mistake.
Griffin really showed some rookie mistakes in the end game.
First off, he was NOT suppose to foul. He knew it and that’s why his face looked disappointed. It was an unnecessary foul and he knew it.
Second, what the hell were you thinking on the next play? When the coach puts in Cook, Williams, Billups, and CP3, you know you are looking for a three pointer. And what the hell do you do? You try to get a foul. And what would you gain? You missed your free throws tonight!
All in all, I did NOT like what Griffin did. He seemed to take the game into his hands and he made two big no-nos.
I'm saying that Griffin has long ways to go.
And it looked intentional? Is that why the other players seemed puzzled? It may have looked intentional because Griffin was an idiot. He ran up right onto Felton. I know you want to blame VDN, so do I, but it was Griffin’s fault at the end game.
I guess you're right
just looked like he intentionally reached in, I thought in a trap he’d keep his arms out. I guess he saw an opportunity to try and knock the ball out and gambled. Either way, if the clips played D, and they just threw a shot up at the basket as the shot clock expired, the game clock might’ve run out if anyone didn’t secure the ball right away. It was a super long shot anyways, so I’ll stop complaining
Also, I'm not impressed by the Blazers.
There were extremely lucky with their shots and the refs were basically handing them the game. If you are only up by 3 and that is the case, wow, not a great team.
They looked pretty good to me.....
Rock solid defense, good players at all positions, decent depth off the bench. Of course they were making shots- they were all wide open.
They destroyed us off the high pick and roll with Aldridge and Felton.
Yeah, they did look good
But it seems our defense is going to make many teams look good.

I think they were lucky with some plays (that one bs tip in) and the refs helped them out.
The Clips were pretty much handicapped and the Blazers could only get a small win. That’s not good in my books. If this were a playoff series, the refs’ attention would have been called to their lop sided calls.
I have to admit
They played physically and if that is what the ref’s will let you get away with we should too. Except were not allowed to do that.
Sorta agree
No denying they’re a good team but f—k me they got bailed out all night. Whatever the reason, refs scared of loud fans are just hate the Clippers; they were wildly inconsistent.

I say this loss was all DJ
He kept leaving Aldridge alone to help CP3 defend Felton. I mean, come on man, Aldridge was killing us all night and yet he decides to give him free shots. Come on DJ, you’re better than that.
we’re cheap, like to drink and are pissed off.
WHO WANTS A FREE SHARPIE?? -- Blake Griffin
Why do you foul?
…when you are only down three with 29 seconds left?
Well, they got close and definitely put a scare in Portland. Pretty much nobody beats Portland in the Rose Garden.
Come on, let's be honest
It was 25.9 seconds left. If you don’t foul there, you’re likely looking at a second (or less) to get off a desperation three.
Blazers fans
We need to learn form the Portland fans, their building is loud as h3ll. We need to bring that same energy to our team every time at Staples., especially when we’re supposed to be playing home against the Lakers…
It's a good point.
One of the reasons it’s so hard to win at the Rose Garden. Their fans get up and yell over anything and everything. Even when their team is struggling they cheer loud as a moral boost. Same with Thunder fans.
by dulciusXasperis on Jan 10, 2012 9:58 PM PST up reply actions
So glad we have another few days off until our next game to fix the problems.
all jokes aside, it was a good game. Sure some of the calls may have sucked towards the end, but we got beat by a better “team” in their homecourt today. We have better players and hopefully we will learn defense and become a better team in the future. It’s safe to say we are pretty evenly match up against the Blazers right now. Clearly if we meet them in the playoffs then home court advantage will be key.
ummm we play tomorrow
against the Heat.

infinity overtime?
we win cause they don’t show up for the game cause they are still playing in one?
I wouldn't say it "cost us the game"
Mostly because our defense was letting them score all night long.
Lack of intensity cost us the game

Haven't kept up with Portland.
Do they always get these calls at home?
Refs were indeed horrible
But the bad calls went both ways. IE DeAndre(?) stepping in on the inbound pass… HOW DO YOU MISS THAT
I've taken time to digest this game and here's what I came up with
WTF????

a) VDN’s Coaching
b) The “Refs”
c) Blake Griffin’s Last 26 Second Heroism
d) All of the above.

Everyone talking about Kobe's big game.
I think they fail to realize that that isn’t exactly a good sign. He is basically carrying the whole team, and yes, this can win you league games. But then Laker fans wonder why they lose in the playoffs?
+/- stuff
Highest +: Evans +4 in 17 minutes
Lowest -: Cook -14 IN 5 MINUTES
2 late game timeouts.
Play 1: VDN called a basic play. Inbound to the wing, then have the inbounder run off a screen to get open up top. This play has worked before.
In this case, the pass (I forger the passer) was late, and Chauncey (the shooter) didn’t get a clean look. He bailed out and mahe a mid range shot and 1.
Play 2: VDN calls the SAME PLAY. Portland just denies it, and we end up with a BG turnover. He had a whole timeout and he didnt’t draw up a play. What does he do?
You keep blaming VDN in this.
Was it him who told them to foul? No, that was Griffin’s doing.
Was it him who told Griffin to do it all himself? No, that was Griffin’s doing.
All in all, I agree that he is a terrible coach. However, don’t try to pin this all on him. Griffin made terrible decisions in the end game.
VDN actually made a couple good VDN moves tonight.
He did a good time out once, plus when he changed his mind to keep Reggie in when he was doing well (although they ran it up again when we pulled to within 2).
You seemed to focus on VDN's play calling in this post...
Play 2: VDN calls the SAME PLAY. Portland just denies it, and we end up with a BG turnover. He had a whole timeout and he didnt’t draw up a play. What does he do?
Oh yeah
I posted about the play calling. Blake had nothing to do with the play calling. I blame VDN for calling a repeat play and putting Blake in a position where he could make that play.
The overall loss, no, I don’t blame Vinny for all of that. But the playcalling? Absolutely on the coach.
Too bad we lost...
But the Clips played fairly well despite Chris Paul having a terrible game and took it all the way to the end. The Rose Garden’s a tough place to play in, and the Clips hung around despite all of their mistakes. Not bad for a team still trying to figure each other out.
As for VDN, we can’t blame him for that late game foul by Blake Griffin. That was ALL on Griffin – he played wayyyy too close to Felton. It was an easy call by the refs.
I too felt that PDX got some calls going their way, but we already know that the more aggressive team will usually get the calls, so I wasn’t too surprised with the calls.
Chalk it up as a good learning experience, and move on the next game.
VDN
And let’s hope that goat gets sacrificed

You know who wouldn't have lost us this game?
Jerry Sloan.
there's no system
i feel like our team is based completely on individual play. there’s no set plays, no system. if paul is not able to create because he’s got an off night, it’s basically all about 1 on 1 plays. DJ and blake are below average screen setters and defenders who still haven’t learned to switch on defense. this team will make the playoffs because of talent. but unless dj and blake make some progress on playing team defense we will make an early exit.
Well Heat lose in OT
Both teams gonna look for revenge tomorrow.
