The color guy is ex-Clipper Antonio Harvey. I didn't like him at all at first but I've gotten used to him. In terms of play-by-play I think Brian Wheeler is one of the best in the business. He nearly got the Lakers job a couple of years ago.

+1 not crazy about Antonio Harvey, but I agree that Brian Wheeler is one of the best play by play guys.

Blazers win 87-75. We had a respectable 2nd half after our struggles began late in the first. I'm ready for the regular season to start. I need to see these guys play. When we have a full rotation as opposed to half, we'll be able to hold our own.

We have one last preseason game on Friday against the Nuggets. Hopefully we'll pull that one out and start the regular season on a positive note. Only one more week left.

Lastly, I'd like to thank Antonio Harvey for giving me quite a few laughs tonight to make this loss a little easier.

I thought I posted on here already............

Looks like Clippers had a crapy first half and a better second half. Thornton looks like the only player who did anything scoring wise. I guess this isn't our last preseason game. Let's try to win our last one!!!!!!!
I've been an LA Clipper fan since 1998 and that will never change. I hate our new logo and jerseys!

Antonio Harvey, let's just say, has a way of being a complete idiot at times. I've never really liked him as a commentator (but find Brian Wheeler to be much more manageable) so I can understand why you guys have skepticism against our radio broadcasting.

Another tough game to watch. The Clippers played so poorly in the first half, it seemed like a large majority of the fans left during halftime and never returned. Dunleavy surprises me with his roster decisions. Seems like he should cut down Kaman's minutes, and maybe Thornton. On the flipside, tonight's game seemed like a perfect game to play Gordon 35+ mins.

Friday is the last preseason game, so I would guess that Dunleavy would try to take it more seriously and play as many starters as he has available to simulate a real game before the season begins. Who knows what is going to happen, but I hope Friday is better than the past two games.

I hope so, cause I'll be there, and I would hate to see the same thing happen 3 games in a row. I think they'll bounce back.

I hope the Denver game will be televised, it seems like a game that would be.

Speaking of Harvey, I remember him when he was in the dunk contest as a Laker. Now that was comedy :lol:
