No Chauncey, obviously
KMart is playing. IDK about Bledsoe. Foye will start for Billups, leaving Mo on the bench, which I foresaw and is the best course of action.
Foye becomes Chauncey
Bledsoe becomes Foye
I have exciting news guys!
Clippers power forward Kenyon Martin will make his season debut, five days after signing as a free agent. Los Angeles coach Vinny Del Negro said he plans on using the 11-year NBA veteran off the bench for "probably 15 minutes or so, and see how he does." Martin had been playing with the Xinjiang Flying Tigers of the Chinese Basketball Association until mid-December. The 34-year-old declined to speak with the media before the game.
Clippers wearing the home whites tonight.
I’m guessing that this means there are no blue alternate uniforms.
I think Michael Smith was just specualting
He said the equipment guy had to bring 3 sets of uniforms on the trip and that they were red, blue, and the ABA jerseys.
He was wrong. They were white, red, and ABA.
Darn
Yeah, i think its an official rule that teams have to wait 2 years after updating uniforms to get a road alternate made. . .so we’ll see road blues next year
Kenyon's debut
Let’s be nice to KMart if he has an off game, he’s probably pretty rusty from not playing in awhile.
It's game #1 LAC - let's get this!
btw LAC now stands for Life After Chauncey which i’m surprised i haven’t read on clipsnation yet.
No K.Irving for Cleveland.
Hope he feels better, but good news for the Clippers.
you beat me to it! lol
i was just logging in and nobody had posted yet! haah

Really?
That’s disappointing. I was looking forward to watching him. Well, five game win streak, here we come.

This definitely a game the Clippers need to just flat out win.
Without their rookie guard, no reason the Clippers shouldn’t be able to just overpower the Cavaliers.
Lob city will be in full effect for 2 and a half quarters
and lets get some rest for blake, cp3, caron, mo and deandre. lol
by cantthinkofagoodname on Feb 8, 2012 4:07 PM PST reply actions
and rest for KMart, after he gets a little run. Want to save him for the b2b
looking like Bledsoe, Leslie, Gomes, Trey, Cook, is our garbage time lineup
maybe even, gulp, Leslie, Gomes, Trey, Evans, Cook
ohhh coool!!!
the cavs broadcast actually shows the starting lineup announcements (for the home team)!

That wasn't pretty defense
And an uglier pass…
who is better
Sessions, Gibson, Casspi, Jamison, Varajao or Mo, Anthony Parker, LeBron, Jamison, Varajao.?
Seriously, that's three times now
Jordan keeps trying the double and leaves Varajao open under the basket…
Cleveland is mishandling a lot of passes...
Thank goodness..
I need to find a way to watch this.
CP3 vs Kyrie is awesome. He plays like CP3 scoring-wise. Not so much distribution-wise, but he’s a rook.

Oh.
Well I better get back to work then.

Clippers need to clean up the sloppy play..
It’s pretty evident that Cleveland is outmatched..
Less ball handling, more shooting.
Not bad at all :D
yes those Cavs guys are downright weird
seems like they just picked them off the street outside

At least they aren't too bias and pushing an agenda.
They seem tolerable.
yeah they are not homers
but a bit chatty …

oh boy, Foye and Gomes in together, that will tighten things up.

it was the others who were turning the ball over
They were trying to run the offense through Blake, just overpassing
with Billups done for the season
they’ll have to adapt; they guy ran a good portion of the offence

Why are the jersey colors switched? Clips have on home whites at Cleveland.

So Irving Has Got A Headache and Isn't Playing

28-27 LAC. KMart showing energy, but not scoring too well
Jets, Cowboys, Mets, Islanders, Bulls & Clippers
I like how Mike knew he forgot Tyson Chandler
and says “nope” after a delay
Kris Humphries has better numbers than him
It would be really funny if Kris Humphries made the all-star game I might add
Mo with another weak ass touch foul...
Can we teach him to wrap up? I swear this has happened at least 8-10 times this year. They beat the hell out of Blake and Deandre, but Mo plays patty cake…weak sauce.
Anybody got a Ralph and Mike feed?

at the end of the year
Clippers could have a top 5 scorer, rebounder, assister, blocker, stealer, and shooter
Wow.
Need a MUCH better second half.
