Nice win but the fact they blew the lead was verry frustrating. I think the Novak buzzer beater for the Rockets to extend their streak last season might be a little higher on his list.

I just finished watching the tape of the second half, and must say that I was relieved to know the outcome first, and not have my heart in my mouth for that long stretch at the end.
Watched the Camby/Harris thing 11 or 12 times out of my personal need to understand it, several times in slow mo, and concluded that Camby was definitely going for the ball. Although his hand did slide down Harris' hand and forearm and pull him down hard, that did not have the look of being intentional in any way. It was a terrible thing to happen, but when someone goes as fast and as high as Harris is so amazingly able to do, and someone else is as assiduous a shotblocker as Camby, unfortunately this kind of thing may happen. I really hope Harris recovers quickly.
Also, with 23 seconds to go in the game, camera showed Novak standing by the bench with a big icepack on his shooting arm. Whew!
While Ralph and Mike were discussing what they were going to do with that last play, and Baron and EJ seemed the obvious focal points, Mike said: "Maybe Novak will be open."
Loved to see how happy and excited the guys all were at the win. This was a great bonding experience for the Clippers. Maybe when Zach comes back they can seriously start to feel like a team and figure out how best to play as one.

Yeah, it was nice the see all the players just genuinely happy to win the game. Great pass by Baron, who probably had an eye on the clock and knew there was just enough time to kick it over to Novak.

The foul by Camby was really unfortunate. You could tell it was unintentional, but you also have to be really careful when you're trying to block a guy going in the opposite direction as you. But hopefully Harris will be okay and it will be forgotten.

Does anyone have a link of Novak's game winning shot. I just wanna see it again.
I've been an LA Clipper fan since 1998 and that will never change. I hate our new logo and jerseys!

You're absolutely right. Last night I was reminded of that shot after watching some clips of him. Thanks for catching that though.

This coming Sunday is Camby's birthday, and my son and I will be at the Clippers' game that day, first one I've attended in probably three years.
I wanted to be really clear in my mind that the foul was unintentional so it wouldn't cloud what a huge Camby fan I've become this year --- and I did get that clear, luckily.
I can just cheer all the guys on happily. It will be amazing to see them large and in person instead of little figures on a screen the way I have been doing for so long.

Yeah, it was definitely unintentional. You could also see it in Camby's reaction immediately after the foul.
