Unexpected victory tonight over the Nuggets. This was a win that everybody needed. Some to keep up their morale, some to keep their sanity and some to keep their jobs.

For me it was between Chris (primarily for his assist numbers) and Sual. Sual came off the bench and had his best performance of the season so far. His shot was falling and he hit some clutch free-throws to bring it home. I'm just so glad we didn't get embarrassed on national television.

Butler! Except for his 2 airball 3-point shots in crunch time.

Rasual really found his touch last night and hit a timely 3 that gave us some breathing room. The Butler get's my vote, I'm glad he stepped up last night.
I've been an LA Clipper fan since 1998 and that will never change. I hate our new logo and jerseys!

Butler came up huge last night. Looked a little shakey at the end but hopefully those two free throws got his confidence back up for next game.

I hate to admit it, but Dunleavy's decision to bench Butler might have been the fire Sool needed to get going. I know on the outside they're saying it's because of match-up issues, but seriously, Ricky playing well in garbage time and Butler going 3 for 12 each night? You don't normally get starting time based on match-up issues.

Props to Butler, an inconceivable win against a high caliber team is exactly what we needed. Let's hope this is the beginning of good things to come.
