Keep Zach/EJ/DJ...and use whatever means to get rid of Baron's contract! Your squad should be real good next year.

Baron doesn't really wanna be a Warrior. :lol:

Gordon to Baron for 3! Clips pull ahead by 10 with 1:09 left in the game.

great Win baron should have went Ricky and went for the Triple Double. This win was solid maybe a little harder than it should have been down the stretch but still a win.

Damn we are going to ge our @$$ kicked on Wednesday though.lol Let's enjoy this win unil then.

Baron had 25, 9, and 10. One stinkin' rebound away from a triple double! The best thing about those numbers-- none of 'em came in garbage time! Baron played great tonight, he took charge of the team, became the leader we expected him to be, and played like he loves basketball. This is what we paid for! Regardless of whether or not this type of effort lasts, hats off to Baron!

Oh, and EJ. :nod:

He is the MAN.

Good win tonight! It got a little tense towards the end of the 3rd quarter and through much of the 4th, but we pulled it out at the end with a comfortable lead in the final few minutes. The guys showed flashes of great hustle and team chemistry. Everybody seemed more alive than usual and really fought hard for the win. Gordon was 1 for 8 to start and finishes the game shooting 8 for 9. Zach did his thing as usual with 27, but he actually managed not 1 but 2 count them 2 blocks. That's simply amazing. Baron was 1 rebound short of a triple double, while picking 4 pockets and shooting 45% from the field (that's like 60% for BD). It's great to have Z-Bo & Camby back. Hopefully Thornton will be back soon and maybe Kaman in a week or so. Good job Clips.

Some parts of the game tonight got me nervous, but the whole team really played well. I think it was all led by Baron's effort and he made sure we weren't going to lose this game. It was a glimpse into what we wanted to him to do on this team. EJ is a monster though, and I think he deserves as much credit as anybody for the win. I like how the Clippers broadcasters are really trying to push him for ROY.

Baron finally playing at the level we expected. But i doubt this keeps up

this was a good win! i really liked baron davis today he showed what he can do...and with camby and randolph back it really helps a lot!

Let's hope we can give Boston a fight

Little shocked our young guys didn't play much. GSW has a gem in that Randolph kid don't know why he didn't get more time late in the game over Maggs. I can see Maggs being very effective in his role had a bad night tonight which is a good thing.

he wanted to show the warriors that he want to come back by playing well. gs rejected a maggette for baron trade so baron thinks that if he does well warriors would take him back

I was at the game...best game I've been to in awhile. That 8 min stretch in the 3rd qtr was quite possibly the best I've seen all year. It was amazing. Fred Jones dunks got me so hyped! It was funny hearing Clipper Darrell taunt Maggs. HAHAHA.

Wonderful game thread --- the game itself ran too late for me, so I'm about to go downstairs and enjoy the tape of it like mad this morning. I can't wait. This will be a rare treat!

I'm glad that I woke up to a Clipper win. I watched the highlights and saw that we almost gave up our lead. But the 3 by Baron with about a minute left sealed the deal. There's no question that we need Zach in the lineup to win and a motivated Baron Davis.

This is our first division win of the season, I was afraid that we might not get one. Again glad that we won and I wish that I could have seen the whole game.

A win?

I guess i'll have to watch this one on replay.

Just finished watching the game --- very exciting.
If they could find that kind of hustle every time, imagine how good things could be --- and of course it certainly helps that they are healthy.
EJ is looking like he's got an All-Star future if he stays healthy and keeps developing in this direction. He doesn't look like a rookie by any stretch. Quite thrilling to watch as some points. Glad to see Zach make such a fine contribution and keep his emotions in check when there were occasional mistakes. Glad, too, to see Turiaf was able to return to the game after finding Zach's foot under him when he landed that time, and limping off to the dressing room with the trainer.
Baron looked like a whole new man --- full of hustle and drive and focus. Excellent performance. Would love to see lots more like this from him.
Camby never disappoints. He gets impressive enough stats, but I believe his major contribution isn't shown at all on the stat sheet, and he had another game like that --- discreet, always unselfish and supportive of his teammates, doing all the important little things that propel your team towards a win, having an impeccable sense of timing.
I don't believe I've ever seen Fred Jones play better than that, either. Good for him.
To top it off, Ralph and Mike were at their magnificent best. What a treat it is to follow the game with them. Subtle, straightforward, articulate, even-handed, yet supportive. They are simply the best. I loved it early in the fourth quarter when everyone on both sides was floundering a bit and Mike said something like: "These two teams both tend to have a somewhat fragile psyche in fourth quarters."

P.S. I enjoyed the pseudo fashion show letting us see what certain players were wearing when they arrived at the arena. I'm so very happy to see that the stupid Stern dress code has been watered down enough that they can look like themselves more, and not like cookie-cutter versions of very tall stockbrokers or corporate lawyers. Very heartening.
