True we don't want any bodies broken, but we need things to go more in our favor for the rest of this season.

I hope we wind up winning cause I gotta go to sleep. Good luck Clippers we're down 60-69 at the end of three.

69-60 Mavs at the end of 3. Clippers are chipping away the Mavericks lead. It would have really been nice if Thornton or Fazekas could have scored on that last possession to get this down to a 7-point game.

I was just messing with you. After all we have been through this year we deserve nothing short of an injury-free season next year. It's gotten to the point where it's just so sad, but at the same time not even that shocking with the way things have gone this year. If our key guys can make it through the season with no major injuries next year we should be good.

Mobley is out for the remainder of the game with a sore left heel.

5-point game with 2:41 left in the game. Clips got within 3 a couple of minutes ago but then Dallas pushed it back to 9. Come on Clips.

Lot of no-calls tonight :nonono:

93-86 Dallas wins. Clippers had a hard time catching up to the Mavs. We would get within 5 then they push back to 9, we get within 3 then they push it to 11. 2 games from now EB should be back in the line-up. I don't know what Chris' status will be, but I'm sure they'll be more news on him tomorrow. I just hope that the return of EB motivates the team down the stretch.

It'll be an experience in itself to see how things play out when he's on the floor with Thornton and Maggette.

A game the Clips should've won, calls or no calls. They simply missed a lot of easy shots and made some unforced TO's.

BTW, I like Fazekas, but the dude can barely get off the grouud. We need MORE athleticism, not less. Powell > Fazekas all day.

You gotta love the effort in this one. Yeah, I wanna see W's, but at this point, we really have nothing to gain and nothing to lose. It was a fun, competitive game, I just wish we could have buried some jumpers at the end there to give us more of a chance. But Dallas is good-- they were definitely fighting for it tonight.

Illa, I'm with you on the Powell/Fazekas issue too. I like Fazekas, and he could have a place in the league if he finds his way on to the right roster, but Powell's the one who is more likely to contribute to our team.

I'm happy that we stayed in the game and made it competitive. We didn't get blown out and we put up a good fight. With EB coming back this week our chances of winning are increased. I hope Kaman will be back soon, and Mobley as well.
