Clippers(6-10) @ Pistons(5-10)

By gawd, we got offensively out-rebounded 19-4. I think if I were actually watching this game, i'd be completely stressed out by now.

Those 19 offensive rebounds helped contribute to them having 28 more shot attempts. I seriously can't stand giving up O-Boards. That irritates me more than just about anything in a game.

We dont really have good position guys at boxing out. Kaman and Camby are just jumping rebounders

Rebounding has been our biggest issue. Blake should help a lot but for now our guards needs to crash the boards.

Pretty much nailed it. These guys need to learn some fundamentals and know how to box out properly.

I'm so sick of dunleavy's over coaching. When was the last time his offense-defense substitution worked???

I still see raja bell in my nightmares!

I couldn't watch the game, but I'm thrilled to see that we won. I was so disgusted after the Indiana game, I had kinda just thrown in the towel for the rest of the season, but 7-10 ain't so bad. If we can stay +\- 2 games around .500 by the time Blake gets to playin, I think we'll be okay.

Maybe he'll teach Kaman and Camby how to box out.

In the NBA a win is a win. It doesnt matter if you win by 2 or by 20. No matter how good/bad teams are on paper, its different when they play.
Remember that Denver, clearly one of the best teams, barely won against Knicks today.

104-96 is the final score. Clippers win with a strong 4th quarter performance. We gave up 19 offensive rebounds, but still managed to get the W. That's not something that happens a lot, so it is great for us that we shot at a high percentage.

A bit similar to the Mem/PHX game where the Suns got outrebounded 49-29 in the game and still manage to win the game by 16pts. It's just one of those fluke games that happened to went in the Suns favor just like what happen in the Clips favor despite how ugly the victory was.

Happy with the win, i liked Barons game
didnt seem like he forced alot of shots and made a good percentage, plus the 10 assists is always good

Still a lot of things to improve on but a wins a win

They're around way too long, to learn boxing out.
You've gotta live with what they are and hope that Griffin can be that fundamentally sound rebounder for you.

BTW: I'll take this one, but Dunleavy's rotations are still a joke.
Normally a coach uses the breakt between the 3rd and 4th quarter to rest his guys by sitting them about a minute before the end of the 3rd till some time in the 4th quarter.
Dumbleavy, however, almost always selects to play Kaman and Davis till the end of the 3rd and, at best, rests them some at the start of the 4th. Thanks to that we're seeing a lot of that Mr Flippy kind of stunts by Kaman, cause he's out of gas with about 5 mins left in the 4th.

It's so frustrating. The players are often guilty of poor clock management in the game, but he's just as guilty in our rotations. So often our key guys are sitting in the 4th quarter to get their needed rest only to come in and have to try to fight back from a deficit. You can't coach both halves the same way and expect good results.

I watched the last two minutes of the game. I didn't know what was going to happen, I saw that we were up and I'm glad we got the win.
