I'm glad we got the win and that most of our regulars got some rest in the 4th. I was listening to the 4th quarter in the car and Mo Williams continues his hot streak. I hope he keeps this up as long as he can. I didn't see it but it seemed like there was a foul called just about every play for a certain stretch in the 4th.

I'm glad that we took care of business and rest up for the Lakers.
I've been an LA Clipper fan since 1998 and that will never change. I hate our new logo and jerseys!

If we want to be a contender our Bench (excluding Mo,Foye,Evans & Gomes) better wake up, they are not very good.
Thompkins & Leslie ( love the guys!) should be getting PT in Bakersfield & Fortson looked so lost he made about 5 mistakes in a row. I love cheering for an underdog, but he isn't good enough (NOW) to be on the court.
I wish I could say nice things about Fortson, but I think he would have been smart to stay at Arkansas

Good stuff RiversideClips. I feel the exact same way.

Missed this one but followed it on the game tracker. Good job taking care of business. Would it be possible for someone to put together a Clip of Blake's FT shooting. Just wondering why he has been struggling so much, I've seen a lot of shots with a hitch, a lot of short FT's, and other times where he just looks great.

One of the things that was troubling with Fortson is that he couldn't beat the press. It's not used much in the pros for a reason, but it gave Fortson fits. He'll be sent back to the D-League when Bledsoe returns (if not sooner). Leslie really suffered from having to deal with an injury during training camp. He hasn't really been able to show much in the game when given time. He could definitely benefit by being sent down to the D-League for a little while. Thompkins has not looked as well in the last few games as he did in preaseason and his first couple of games. We only have 4 players 6'10 or over and 2 of those are Thompkins and Jones. He could probably use a stint in the D-League, but I would be surprised to see him sent down.
