Al fouls out but not before collecting his career high 5th assist.

TT with a productive offensive night. As for his defense, ugh.

This is a creative, fun idea. I'll do it after the game.

12-0 run for the Clips as the game closes to an end. 22.5 tics left on the clock.

Sorry that you guys were so depleated with injuries. I was looking forward to seeing Thornton so hated to see him foul out.

All the best for the rest of the season guys.

P.S. Kaman is my pick for the MiP award this year. He's been stunning this year.

107-100 Bobcats win. Game wasn't as close as the final score. Clippers never had a lead in the game.

Thanks, good luck to y'all for the rest of the season as well. After hearing that Maggette was out in addition to Kaman I felt it would be over before it started but hoped to see Al have productive night. That didn't happen but I'm liking that Powell is getting more comfortable out there. He's looking worlds better than he did at the beginning of the season. I still think he has a ways to go but definitely has potential.

Totally underhanded tonight. Offensively Thomas (29 points, 13 rebounds, 5 assists) had an excellent game. Defense was a problem for him and the team as a whole. You could see the pain and frustration from Mobley and Sam who both logged big minutes. Sam playing hard but it wasn't enough to really make it a close game. We shot well, rebounds were about even. They hit their 3's and got to the line. We may have made the game a bit more competitive with at least Maggette. I liked the late run and all while I'm sure many of the fans had packed up and headed out of the arena. At least they didn't quit.

As sad as this game was, you can't really be mad b/c of the pathetically depleted bench. The team looked disheartened and without energy, but the fans? Chants of "Don't go Darrel, don't go" echoed throughout the arena during stops in play....

I don't know I was asking myself that. She's kinda cute. It's usually Damon Andrews or Michael Eaves.

Those two used to report sports in Memphis from a few yrs ago.

As for the game. Really a downer that both Kaman and Maggs didn't play which left the Clips bench almost depleted.

Getting paid to watch games and start fan chants. That sounds like a nice gig, but he can't sell out like that. Well if he does, thanumba2clippersfan will have just been promoted. :wink:

Seriously? That's crazy.

I figured it was a good chance Kaman would sit but I had hope Maggette would have played. Either one could have made a difference.

^yup Kaman or Magz would gave us enough points ftw!

I wouldn't mind steppin into Darrell's role. Did he really try to leave last night? I hope that isn't true because I would never leave a Clippers game no matter what the score is.

Like everyone else has said we did have a depleted bench but we only lost by 7. I wasn't able to watch the game so I don't know if the score really indicated ow close the game really was. Like I had said before I hope that our team isn't trying to tank so that we can get a better lottery position. If we're going to tank we can at least start after the all star break.

I hope Maggette and Kaman decide to play against the Hawk.

I think they meant "Don't Leave" us for Dallas.

Not at all. Clippers went on a 12-0 run late after the thing was all but over.

They did, sorry if I wasn't clear.
