Every day is a chance to get better.
I don't want to see any fear from this team....tonight

No bitching up or whining from this team (via their play) about people saying they can't defeat the good teams or aren't currently a contender.
that's no excuse to not run roughshod all over Detroit tonight.


beat this team by 30.
we'll deal with the good teams when we play the good teams.

How we're going so far this season, I'm almost expecting another game we play down to there level and make Detroit look like an amazing team. Hope I'm wrong.

I got carried away with Blake's 16 boards against the small frontline of Hornets haha but this game will test us with Drummond, Monroe and Smith, I think we'll get killed on the boards.

Hope CP and Blake continue they're classic pick n roll offence and realise that that's our best option. We also need Chris to keep attacking, and early. Not just when he feels like it in the 2nd half.

This is a game that we should win, but we all know how those can go. I'm happy that this is an earlier game for me because I'm tired already. I'll be following the game and I'll be in forum as long as I don't fall asleep. I'm hoping for the best.

[LACtdom]

Chris Paul will be able to shut down Jennings and their bigs only have a slight advantage over us. I think the real challenge for us will be shutting down Josh Smith at the SF position. Would love Bullock to get some experience trying to defend Smith.

If we can rebound and stop any 2nd chance points then I think we got this easy.

[mkwest]

Our "friend," Marc Davis is reffing tonight.

[Neddy]

reggie looks like he may lock up the SF position after tonight

Lazy ass passes

[Quake Griffin]

stupid internet isn't loading the game on league pass.

**** this.

[thanumba2clippersfan]

Looks like we'll have to tighten up our D. How did we let Drummond get 10 points already?

[LACtdom]

Our bench isn't looking too good. It would be nice if we got a chance to see what they can do besides Jamal taking every shot.

[LACtdom]

Looks like we'll have to tighten up our D. How did we let Drummond get 10 points already?

We can't beat him on the boards and our defensive rotation is too slow.

[Quake Griffin]

Dinwiddie ralph.
not Dinwiddle.

[Quake Griffin]

oh man.

nice run by detroit.
hopefully we get it down before the half.

[thanumba2clippersfan]

Alright and 3 minutes into the 2nd quarter we're down 10

[Quake Griffin]

there she go.

blow this open.

[thanumba2clippersfan]

Glad that we finally caught Detroit, let's keep it up
