Funny that one one will mention that we have 42 wins now. So we are guaranteed another winning record. I'm just so grateful that we aren't the team that we used to be.
I've been an LA Clipper fan since 1998 and that will never change. I hate our new logo and jerseys!

Amazing that we won with Paul had such a poor game.

Coming into this game, I thought it was a great chance to really make an impact in the standings. Miami probably takes down Houston. Indiana surely beats Golden State and we could knock off the Suns. Only 1 of those things happened and we're still in a 3 way tie (in terms of games ahead/behind) for the 3rd seed. It was pretty much a must win game that we couldn't really afford to lose.

The top 5 seeds in the western conference were in a dog fight last season and it's the same thing this year. I just hope our guys withstand the pressure down the stretch.

the 2nd half of this month is pretty cake. really no excuse to lose any game after the 12th for the rest of March. hopefully we dont play down to anyone during that time.

that's basketball for you. everybody had their backs against the wall today...even us.

I like how we're trending coming down the stretch as opposed to last year.
today we hold the suns to 41 2nd half points.
last year around this time, we have Griffin crying about Vinny's inconsistency with the defensive system

I agree. It's not necessarily how you start, but more importantly how you finish.

Our bench totalled 12 points. Was expecting more from Granger and Big Baby but great second half!

nobody thinks our 3rd quarter should be nominated for quarter of the year?


oh well.

It was our highest scoring 3rd quarter of the year and our 2nd best scoring differential for 3rd quarters with the highest differential being against the woeful Lakers. ;-)

Some other teams have had big differentials like that in the 3rd, but against pitiful teams. Even battling through injuries, Phoenix is a tough team. I like what they're doing.
