Despite there being no game preview for this contest, there still needs to be a gamethread so that we can actually discuss the goings on during the game itself. Prior to the game, the Los Angeles Clippers traded away Josh Smith to the Houston Rockets. Tonight, they play the New York Knicks and their powerful frontcourt trio of Carmelo Anthony, Kristaps Porzingis, and Robin Lopez. With the loss last night hopefully behind them, the team looks to get back on the winning track without Blake Griffin. Go Clippers!
