yup. refresh your page.
when you post a comment, your computer knows it immediately. But when I post a comment, it takes a little for your computer to load it. So it will show yours as first until you refresh and it orders them.
That’s why after a big play when you comment yours will show and several seconds later others will show up.
Damn it
I WAS NUMBER ONE. But that explains the delay after a big play.

glad to see he is feeling better.

They are a really crappy team. Maybe we will see some Thompkins and Leslie minutes today. I sure hope so.

I want to say this should be an easy win
but with the way the clippers have been playing defense I expect a fairly close game.
I'm gonna go with all of the above
We need a new coach who can coach defense, we need a SG who can defend on the wing(as well as better defensive backup bigs), and BG needs to try harder defensively
is corey brewer available on denver?
what do you guys think…long armed good defender
by JJClipperfan on Jan 22, 2012 12:30 PM PST up reply actions
the problem is that
we already have 5 rotation guards. Really can’t go for another without trading 2. Wait for the summer.
I think we could play absolutely no defense and this would still be a blowout
they are missing Bargnani there only decent player.

I wouldn't say it was horrible
the Twolves are a good team and we were missing CP3 and our offense went dead when Mo got ejected.

somewhere I read an article where they analysed the defensive impact
of Casey on Toronto. The conclusion was that the defense was better but that the team needed to stop fooling everyone in Canada

Except that Minnesota is twice the team that Toronto is
And we have Butler back, and we should have Mo in the 4th quarter.
3 fouls off the bench isn't that big a deal
no one else is foul trouble.
