A roller coaster of a game, but thankfully it ended on a high note. :D

Gotta go with EJ. Very aggressive and played great, other than the free throw at the end of the game. I'd consider Kaman, even with all the bad mouthing some folks gave him :P, if he didn't shoot so bad at the free throw line.

Rasual deserves a mention as well since he decided to step it up tonight. Very rare occurrence to even see him hit a shot.

I'm going to give it to Baron, he was key in our come back in the third quarter. He was making big plays both passing and scoring.
I've been an LA Clipper fan since 1998 and that will never change. I hate our new logo and jerseys!

The team did well with Rasual on the court. It's been frustrating to watch, and I know it's frustrating for him to throw up clank after clank. So I'm happy with anything positive that he is able to bring to the table at this point, until he can get back into a groove.

Kaman had a really nice night with the exception of the free-throw line. He was able to score, but more importantly, he was able to hit the boards, force a couple of turnovers and set his teammates up. I don't know what was happening at the line, but he made up for it everywhere else.

Baron had as good a game as you can have with going 2 for 14 from the field and turning the ball over 5 times. I mean that as a compliment. Even with terrible shooting percentages and turnovers, he managed to make a living at the free-throw line, and make key plays on both sides of the ball when we needed them. If he would have hit 4 more shots, I probably would have gone with him.

I went with EJ as well. He needed to bounce back from last nights subpar game, and he did it tonight in a big way. He scored efficiently, attacked the basket, hit from deep, and picked a few pockets. I was hoping that his free-throw woes were behind him, but at least he does make up for it in other areas.

If Butler could play like he did against Washington every night the Clippers would be a different team. Gordon played better of course, but Butler stepped up as the X-Factor which is why he gets my vote.
