Ouch....
CP3’s alma mater is getting whooped. 40-19, UVA over Wake Forest at the half.

Something's wrong when we're tied with the Cavs without Kyrie Irving.
Clippers // Chargers // Rays // Boise State
"The Lakers do win games. But things can change." - Blake Griffin
Something is wrong
when Jeremy Lin and Steve Novak is consistantly your top two players..
And they’re winning. (Not that beating Washington is saying much, but they still beat NJN and UTH.)

Wow... 7-0 run for the Cavs to start the half.

They look like they are sleep walking.
They don’t have Chauncey to bail them out with timely 3s. Keep playing like this. This will be a worse loss than the Minnie game.
Why do we always suck against Cleveland?
we’re cheap, like to drink and are pissed off.
WHO WANTS A FREE SHARPIE?? -- Blake Griffin
If they're planning on sulking through the rest of this road trip because Chauncey got hurt...
then I don’t expect another win for the whole trip. Can’t beat anyone on the road like this.
Clippers // Chargers // Rays // Boise State
"The Lakers do win games. But things can change." - Blake Griffin
Time to just work through Griffin and Paul
No one else needs to shoot…
There needs to be a CSU.Clipper somewhere..
He’ll be your arch nemesis.
"Things change when something is taken away from you" -BG32
Chris is not being aggressive enough.
Why would u give that to Caron
Sigh...
Well, this looks like a loss. This is exactly the type of game that the old Clippers would lose.
Clippers // Chargers // Rays // Boise State
"The Lakers do win games. But things can change." - Blake Griffin
Looks can be deceiving
This team can definitely win still. It’s just that at this point, even a win won’t make the team or its fans feel good. This was a sloppy game.
my goodness the whole Cleveland team flops too much
we’re cheap, like to drink and are pissed off.

"Failure is not fatal, but failure to change might be." - John Wooden
Ah...
I can understand being a fan of a player – I’m a LeBron fan, for instance. But that doesn’t make you a Clipper fan more than it makes me a Heat fan.
Clippers // Chargers // Rays // Boise State
"The Lakers do win games. But things can change." - Blake Griffin
Well he's not a Clippers fan
and he knows that.
But the good news is he’s rooting for the Clippers to win because he wants CP3 to win.
"Things change when something is taken away from you" -BG32
i like cp3 much.. his on court and off court ethics.
That why i follow him. im from philippines so i dont care much about city. I care more about a player.
you have to give him a harder question than that...
what does Elgin Baylor and Bill Cosby have in common?
Come on guys im not here to spoil the fun..
I just want to join you. I love reading you when your having fun when the clips are winning..
Noted
There has been a strong wagon of fans because of CP3 and I guess the Clipper community is getting attacks of being “fake” fans and suddently appearing. As Clipper fans, we’ve always been, or atleast most of us, have been loyal to our team, thus why we would like to keep our fanbase knowledable and loyal.
But hey, I’d welcome you. We had an Eric Gordon fan here once and now he’s disappeared. I’ll assume you’re a CP3 fan and disappear when/if CP3 is gone too.
"Things change when something is taken away from you" -BG32
Maybe. yah i think so too.
But I hope cp3 stays here. I love him here. I think he belong here.
Just a slop ass game...
really, an “old Clippers” game. If that’s how this team is going to react to adversity, then the playoffs will be… um… interesting.
Clippers // Chargers // Rays // Boise State
"The Lakers do win games. But things can change." - Blake Griffin
and by "interesting" you mean "losing closing games"
Jets, Cowboys, Mets, Islanders, Bulls & Clippers
Wow they are so out of sync
I can’t believe the injury has had this big an impact
To be honest...
I had a sinking feeling that they would begin to fall apart because of the injury.
Clippers // Chargers // Rays // Boise State
"The Lakers do win games. But things can change." - Blake Griffin
That's the kind of game it is.
Lucky shots will fall for Cleveland
this feels like a loss but we'll see

WHO WANTS A FREE SHARPIE?? -- Blake Griffin
I agree
I wish I could mute the announcers but keep the rest of the sound on.
Lol so glad I don't have to hear them
They are so bad
11-2 run for the Cavs to start the half...
inexcusable.
Clippers // Chargers // Rays // Boise State
"The Lakers do win games. But things can change." - Blake Griffin
i've never seen our defense more pathetic than it is right now.
not a single person helps out.
It's like the Bulls game all over again.
Apparently, without Chauncey, they’ve regressed back to the first week of the season. Awesome.
Clippers // Chargers // Rays // Boise State
"The Lakers do win games. But things can change." - Blake Griffin
LOL
wtf! 61-49?
If I was watching the game, I’d be pissed. Wtf is wrong with the Clippers today?
"Things change when something is taken away from you" -BG32
they look tired and pathetic
and Cleveland’s best player is out and Varajeo just got hurt so he’s out. it’s pathetic beyond pathetic.
Makes me sick, really...
I had to stop watching.
Clippers // Chargers // Rays // Boise State
"The Lakers do win games. But things can change." - Blake Griffin
These Cavs announcers are going crazy whenever the Cavs score...

Billups or no Billups this should be a win.

We have no defense, period.

Cavs played last night and they’re missing their best 2 young players. Oh and verajo is out and we’re getting run off the court.

Side note...
Blake’s FT shooting.. the percentage is there… does it still look better?
"Failure is not fatal, but failure to change might be." - John Wooden
his release is more relaxed and smoother
he is doing a little spin in his hand, three dribbles, and then up and through very nicely.
So maybe the bouncing really is all he needed
I won’t believe it til he does it 3 games in a row.
"Failure is not fatal, but failure to change might be." - John Wooden
He's definitely improved them lately...
always a good sign.
Clippers // Chargers // Rays // Boise State
"The Lakers do win games. But things can change." - Blake Griffin
Heres what I don't mind
just because we are down 11 doesn’t mean we are going to stay down 11.
I was at the Oracle Center yesterday. There were numerous times the Thunders were down 6, 9, 11, whatever. The funny thing was, everybody got a sense that even though the Warriors were up 6, the lead wasn’t secure. The Thunders could strike at anytime.
Somewhat same goes for today’s game. I’m not watching the game, and I’m sure the Clippers look very very crappy right now. But there is this sense that the Clippers are still within striking range, and the Cavs probably know it too, thus why they’re still attacking. This game isn’t over yet and all the players have to do is pull a string of good plays and a few defensive stops to put this game back into view.

by lbclips on Feb 8, 2012 5:44 PM PST via mobile reply actions
Griffin needs to get mad
sure we got CP3 and a lot more help this season, but he hasn’t been beasting so much this season. Maybe because he hasn’t needed to, but let’s not forget he’s supposed to be the 1st or 1A option every night.
Finally waking up!
Clippers // Chargers // Rays // Boise State
"The Lakers do win games. But things can change." - Blake Griffin
They just want to make sure that the player isn't initiating the contact...
Assuming he did a pump fake and got em in the air?
"Failure is not fatal, but failure to change might be." - John Wooden
Ah,
The defender was jumping in his direction, so it wasn’t C.Butler necessarily jumping “into” him
Thank the lord for Caron Butler, huh?
Yeahhhhh I don’t think Mike Miller could do that, despite what Wins Produced says.
"Failure is not fatal, but failure to change might be." - John Wooden
But I thought JChill was the WAGES OF WINS SUPERSTAR!
Clippers // Chargers // Rays // Boise State
"The Lakers do win games. But things can change." - Blake Griffin
Oh he very much is
According to that metric and that metric alone.
MEGASTAT says he’s only 146% of the average player, and that’s really because WP thinks he (and Reggie Evans for that matter) is playing better than Dwyane Wade this year.
"Failure is not fatal, but failure to change might be." - John Wooden
Out of curiosity
I’m only looking at the stats so it’s pretty dim of what KMart looks like, but how is he doing? On the scoreboard he’s pretty crappy, but in person? Looks in shape? Made some good moves? Sets strong picks? Looks passionate? Looks pissed and ready to punch anybody that messes with Griffin?
"Things change when something is taken away from you" -BG32
If AV comes back -we may be in trouble if the shots don't start falling for the Clips
"Success only comes before work inside of a dictionary!"
Once Cavs announcer---Do you think the Clippers are good/talented enough to make the finals?

Deandre Jordan
-3 rebounds. Does he even box out anymore?!?
"Things change when something is taken away from you" -BG32
Yup
knew it.
If a team like the Cavs are only relying on high intensity, their inconsistencies might destroy their chances to win this game.
Clippers win by 7?
"Things change when something is taken away from you" -BG32
Yep, that was a pass

Steve Novak & Jeremy Lin watch- Day 3
So far,
Novak has scored 17 points and is +18, 4 rebs, 1 stl, 1 block.
Lin has 18 points, 8 assist, 4 rebs, 1 blk, 1 stl.
"Things change when something is taken away from you" -BG32
Of course not
but it’s worth noting that these past three games have been skewed to their favor.
"Things change when something is taken away from you" -BG32

Yeah
but in 2k11 or 12, I always traded them to teams that wanted their potential rather than skill set. Hehehe, they became excellent fillers.
"Things change when something is taken away from you" -BG32
Kenyon got them scared now.
So glad he’s here.
If the cavs wont win it themselves
the refs will lend them a helping hand
I bet everyone in the NBA would love to kick Vareajao's ass

I would call KMart a center before reggie
although we really have 3 powers and 1 center and the team cook
It seems that the Cleveland announcers have called Varejao "Wild Thing."
I thought that city already had a player with the “Wild Thing” nickname

I've been here
just watching the end/ot of the Cuse. Wore my Syracuse Basketball shirt to school today to support for the big game tonight/
Not a great game to watch.
Cavs are knocking down the open shots we give them. The Clippers offense isn’t flowing extremely well.
Here comes our big push
"i know huh........freakin clippers man.....its like a wild ride rooting for this team....gotta love em....(sometimes) lol" In GrIfFin We TrUsT
This is going to be worst than losing to them when they had lost 26 in a row.
I miss Chauncey.
I've got nothing.
Could this be a game
where Vinny was outcoached?

If they can win this... that's the difference between a good team and a great team
All teams have lapses and will lose games. But teams that can execute under pressure are the truly great teams.
caron has 21 pts
but no assists, boards, steals, or blocks
shouldn’t that lob be an assist? ESPN recorded it as a miss and gave BG the board.
I thought he just got a reb

"Every existing thing is born without reason, prolongs itself out of weakness, and dies by chance" -Jean-Paul Sarte
It's one of those games..
And the 3-point shooting isn’t helping. Live by it, die by it.
With Mo in the game i guess you can say missing Chauncey is costing us this game.
Missed defense leads to a 3 and he misses a layup.
I can't believe Mo missed that
That’s ball game
We lost this one.
Our defense is weak and our offense isn’t flowing.
Why not put Foye in?

The Clippers don’t THINK they’re better than you, they ARE better than you.
I know I heard that and i was like WTF
"Every existing thing is born without reason, prolongs itself out of weakness, and dies by chance" -Jean-Paul Sarte
Score speaks loudly.
Tonight they were better. They beat us fair and square. We didn’t show up.
Sometimes we need these type of games.
We need to learn. Obviously it is horrible that we lost to Cleveland, but we need to learn that we have to come into these weaker teams ready to win and fight for a win.
every top nba team should be prepared. clips included
Jets, Cowboys, Mets, Islanders, Bulls & Clippers

he had some great put pack dunks,
hate to say it but CP3 got outplayed by Sessions, but to be fair i put more of it on Mo.
Truly embarrassing...
to play like this against a Cleveland team without Kyrie Irving who just played last night. I mean, really. Playing like shit and sulking isn’t going to make Chauncey come back any faster.
I’d still like to think we can steal a win here, but realistically, this should have been a blowout win for us.
Clippers // Chargers // Rays // Boise State
"The Lakers do win games. But things can change." - Blake Griffin
And that is what caused us to lose.
We shouldn’t go into games thinking we should blow a team out. We should go into a game looking to win, but we shouldn’t overlook out opponents.
Boys, we're in business

i'd rather see Foye than Mo in the lineup right now, he's been great tonight

I don't understand why he shot that contested.
They had 16 seconds
So, Butler shots it early in the clock while he was heavily defended WTF
"Every existing thing is born without reason, prolongs itself out of weakness, and dies by chance" -Jean-Paul Sarte
Did we have another timeout?
When you hear the Clippers, it’s not going to be a joke anymore. I can guarantee you that -BG32
Come on, Caron!
We didn’t deserve to win anyway, not when they played like this. Pathetic.

Varejao and Jamison
are two of the softest bigs I’ve ever seen.
When you hear the Clippers, it’s not going to be a joke anymore. I can guarantee you that -BG32
I don't care if Blake shoots the 3
So long as it wasn’t the type of shot that Butler just took. That was ridiculous.
i'll take 3-3 after this pathetic showing.
we showed no heart at all.
Can't wait to play Philly on Friday... NOT!

I blame Mo to be quite honest.
All season long he has wanted to prove that he is starter material. When he is given a chance at more minutes, he doesn’t show up.
Mo has won us some games
it’s only fair he lose us a game.
Lack of focus
"Every existing thing is born without reason, prolongs itself out of weakness, and dies by chance" -Jean-Paul Sarte
Hey they can't always hurt.
I actually it was a good loss. It was a learning experience, we will get a lot out of this
There's no such thing as a good loss against a bad team like the Cavs...
because Laker bandwagoners and the media WILL rub it in.
Clippers // Chargers // Rays // Boise State
"The Lakers do win games. But things can change." - Blake Griffin
So what if they do?
The media and Laker fans hyped up and celebrated their win over the Clippers, and all it took was one Blake Griffin dunk for the media to completely forget about it. The Clippers need to worry being the best team they can be, not about shutting up the Laker fans.
I’m hoping tonight they got their “woe is us, Chauncey’s out for the season” out of their system, that the loss woke them up and reminded them that the still have some games to play. If not, this shortened season is going to feel like a long one.
there ya go!
for instance, i’ve started to visit ESPN threads less and less because we know what’s there for us.. .frustration. We have to be in the right mindset guys
That's why you don't go into a game thinking you would blow them out.
We didn’t come out looking to fight for a win. That was extremely surprising to me. Billups goes down and what do we do? We come out with absolutely nothing, not to mention Mo pretty much got killed tonight.
That's a sign of bad coaching.
If the players aren’t going to motivate themselves, than VDN needs to motivate them.

Sure looks like Chauncey took this team's winning attitude away with him.
"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.
If that's the case, then we are absolutely NOT contenders.

We lost because we were playing with the home jersey
and because Mo’s point-blank miss and Caron’s bad shot
uh, what was up with DJ tonight?
Is his leg hurting?
"i know huh........freakin clippers man.....its like a wild ride rooting for this team....gotta love em....(sometimes) lol" In GrIfFin We TrUsT
I missed the first 2 and a half quarters
Was he moving alright?

Chris Paul should've gotten the last shot
wtf
When you hear the Clippers, it’s not going to be a joke anymore. I can guarantee you that -BG32
It's like they have no plan B.
If the first play doesn’t work, just shoot.
This game was frustrating,
But I don’t think people should get too overly negative…
This loss scares the shit out of me.
I really hoped they’d show some heart tonight for Chauncey, but they had one of their worst and laziest performances of the season instead. Really? THAT’S how we respond?
Clippers // Chargers // Rays // Boise State
"The Lakers do win games. But things can change." - Blake Griffin
Foye had 15 points
Probably what we would expect from Chauncey. This lies all on DJ and Mo having crappy games. Oh and sessions having a career night.

at Mo missing the open layup

And then leaving Gibson open it being tied with a minute to go.
How is he that lost.
And he thinks he's starting material... wow.
Clippers // Chargers // Rays // Boise State
"The Lakers do win games. But things can change." - Blake Griffin
it was Mo that left Gibson open
not sure if you saw PT recently but they just showed that play and Mo walked back lazily and lost Gibson.
Definitely a game where things that could go wrong did,
And while we lament losing to a team losing their top players…if their other players step up and have great games, it’s irrelevant then
Play like this in Philly they'll get killed
by lbclips on Feb 8, 2012 6:42 PM PST via mobile reply actions
Not to be debbie downer but I personally already count that as a loss.
with them winning in Cle, Cha. and losing in Phi and Dal. to go 4-2. but now they have to make up for this horrible loss.
why didn't bledsoe play?
instead we forced mo to be the backup point therefore taking away his shooting. Is this coach really this stupid??

Clips have 14
13 get to sit on the bench. Chauncey is not with the team, so Bledsoe sits on the bench even thought he isn’t avail
VDN is basically Cleveland-era Mike Brown.
The players are coaching themselves. I’m really just sick of him.

he can't even handle simple rotations

Meh.
I’m over it. There are still more games to come. Seems like Cleveland always have our number. 6 straight losses at the Q now?

My guess is
Ralph forgot to tell him that.

Guys, we have to stop making every loss - whichever team is involved - a disaster.
Seeing the bright side, and taking every downfall as a learning experience is the right attitude. We will get better chemistry after that game (there were some roster changes, remember?), and every players will learn something out of it. Now, let’s move on to the same game. And again, please stop worrying or caring at all about what Lakers fans say, they are Lakers fans, we are Clippers fans, as well as the media’s outtakes (some of those guys try their best to get tasty stories to make a living ok?). This is our team, and we are in the battle with our guys, always looking up!
I think people are just venting.
People will forget about this soon enough. It’s not like game 7 in the playoffs.
When you hear the Clippers, it’s not going to be a joke anymore. I can guarantee you that -BG32
We need to learn from our mistakes.
For some reason, I feel our rotating on defense hasn’t improved in….. the whole season? A little pick and roll shouldn’t destroy our team, especially not as badly as it did tonight. And then Mo getting lost on defense? What was that? We need to improve on defense, but I’m fine with this loss. Better we start learning during regular season.
That would require something we lack...
COACHING.
Clippers // Chargers // Rays // Boise State
"The Lakers do win games. But things can change." - Blake Griffin
I'm tired of seeing the pick & roll on every play.
I’m not call for a Dunleavy kind of play calling system but Vinny is on the other end of the spectrum. There has to be a happy medium.
When you hear the Clippers, it’s not going to be a joke anymore. I can guarantee you that -BG32
Me too. This team can do so much more than high pick and pop/roll and Dump to Blake inside.
He admittedly has no creativity and that is a problem. If he can’t do it he should have an assistant that can. This and their bad defense is a reason I for one would like to see him replaced. And it’s not because of this loss. I thought this even in the wins. Their talent is what’’s carrying them now. They need to be more solid on both ends. Not so hot and cold.
Vinny saying it was aggression.
Sure, they could have been more aggressive on offense, but you know what he needs to learn? HOW TO COACH ROTATING ON DEFENSE. My God, stop saying that you had a weak approach, you had weak coaching!
It's bad enough that I have to watch Norv Turner use the same exact excuses...
during football season. I don’t think I can handle Norv 2.0 (VDN) for much longer.

"The Lakers do win games. But things can change." - Blake Griffin
I agree that a team goes down as a team.
But he has to stop saying “We” “We” “We”. He forgets one thing, he needs to coach them. When Mo isn’t even on anyone or they get killed on a simple pick and roll (and at the same time they only pull of Pick and Rolls) then you know there is something wrong with your coaching.
I loathe Norv Turner

I think many in the media have already written us off since the Chauncey injury. Most expect us to
make the playoffs but won’t go far so I think the expectations have already dropped a bit.
We'll need Boston to win
Against the Lakers to keep our cushion in the division race

most disappointing loss of the season
by far. Hope they pick it up next game!

idk MInny is a better team.
but a home loss at the buzzer vs losing badly on the road?
I’ll take neither
this game had an excuse against minny we were just punked

I prefer this lost because at least it's not nationally televised
Losing without Irving though, is a big blow.

Against minny we didn't have CP3 or Caron
I think that that is much more of an excuse. Also, not having Chauncey can’t be our excuse. He is gone.
Why oh why didn’t Chris Paul take that last shot? And why did Caron shoot a contested 3 while being defended?

I mean, good god…
At least last year you guys were able to force OT in Cleveland. And that was on the heels of a 26 game losing streak with Mo Williams on our team.

And in case you’re wondering, i didn’t even want the Cavs to win this game.

if it makes you feel better, I think you’ll lose your fair share of games before the season ends.

I think we only should play Mo and CP3 together in the closing stages
Mo isn’t that useful in the half-court setting where CP3 thrives.

What?
Did we just lost to the cavs? I was on the way home from work and took a quick glance at the opening game thread on my phone. Found out Irving is out. So, I assumed we’ll get an easy win.
Got home, turned on the tv and I was stunned at the final score. I had to make sure I saw the score right. Darn it!

No excuse you were plain flat lack of energy and on the pick and roll don’t over play the ball handler he is not Steve nash
