Good thing I got this one recorded.

My feelings exactly when I woke up and read the game thread --- what an exciting morning I'm going to have catching up with every minute of this game!
What a great victory for our guys.
I wish EJ all the best and hope his injury is mild, first for his sake, but also for the team's and for ours.

I was very happy when I found out we won. I saw in the box score that we were leading after the first quarter. I was only able to watch the third quarter. I saw EJ run into Perkins and leave the game

When I went to sleep I know that we had a chance to win the game and looks like Zach won the game for us. It always seems like once some one comes back we lose some one else. Let us enjoy the win for now.

Have seen the whole game now --- what a wonderful experience. I was standing up in my living room applauding with the fans in the arena for the last few minutes of the game. And somehow, even though I knew the outcome, those last few minutes were so tense that they were nail-biters for me. What a game and what an ending!
Until now, I had truly underestimated the possibilities of Mardy Collins and Fred Jones, but they were both so important and so sure in critical moments of this game.
Zach was amazing --- I really didn't know he had this unselfishness and cool-headedness anywhere in him, although I knew he was able to play as dominantly as he did.
Baron seems to have re-found his spirit, and what a joy it is to see.
Camby with five blocks !!! Couldn't have won it without them. And he had the highest +/- of any Clipper for this game. I'm proud of my favorite Clipper!
Well done, Clippers. Your heart and hustle and determination are much appreciated here.

Yaaaaaaaaaaa a Good WIN GUYS.
Good Job.

[ClipperEric]

I can believe we won, but I can't believe we did it with Mardy Colins and Zbo to close it out. Mardy just took control and scored almost at will. And without Big Al and Gordon too? Our two most consistent scorers.

Pretty amazing win. Hopefully it will be a springboard against Sacramento. Then keep it rolling. I'd just like us to play .500 ball the 2nd half of the season.

[Det the Threat]

What a great game.

I really hope Baron keeps playing the way he's played those last two games. If that happens, and we, somehow, can stay healthy, we'd have a real good shot at a positive season, next year.

BTW: I really hope that EJ will be back soon.

Can't believe the Clips got a win here and against the Celts of all teams. Good job to the squad doing what thye had to do to win the game.

Can the Clips build up momentum from this win and get something started?

[playaloc916]

Never would I have imagined us pulling off a win against the Celts. Seems like this is the type of game that stayed exciting until the very end. Z-Bo with 30 FGA, but nailed 12 of them, and went 6 for 8 from the line. If it's one guy I want taking that many shots, it's him. What an offensive machine... I'm glad the guys played well, and I hope EJ recovers soon.

[Lifter]

Z-bo is the only guy giving us W's. I haven't checked, but I'm pretty sure this team has close to a .500 record if you only count games he's played in.

[JJ LoDuca]

^They're a game above .500.

[Lifter]

^They're a game above .500.

Seriously? Then I don't care who he punches. They need to re-sign him, keep EJ and Thorton, and get rid of everyone else.

[StutterStep]

The fact that he's got you guys over .500 makes that trade with us (NYK) that more despicable. I still remember when you first acquired ZBo/Mardy, and I told many that both are great additions.

Some liked Zach, but many questioned my bball knowledge on Mardy. I actually hope Dunleavy the GM doesn't screw up the summer so the CLIPS can ball properly next season.

[Hooch20]

Mardy was amazing last night. He had great sequences on the offensive end and really got under Pierce's skin on defense.

We're also 11-6 when Zach plays over 30 minutes. Pretty damn good when healthy if you ask me. This is all done with limited time together and no Kaman.

[PlinkingPanda]

Yeah I wasn't too fond of Mardy cause I knew nothing about him. He's been very impressive so far. It was a great move by Dunleavy. Getting rid of lazy ass Timmy for 2 solid players.

I didn't know much about Mardy when he came to us (heard he was a decent defender and able to play some point), so I looked at him as throw in (although a young player with possible potential). The biggest thing I knew him for was for the foul that ignited the Knicks/Nuggets brawl. I wasn't too fond of Randolph either due to his reputation. A lot of misconceptions run wild on these boards, but the only way to really get a feel of one's game/presence/character is to evaluate it for yourself first hand.
