Solid first half by the team. Going in with a 13 point lead. However let's hope they stay aggressive in the 2nd half.

Griffins very active, looks like hes just gonna explode on a dunk at any chance he gets

Thoughts at the half:

- C P 3! This is what I want to see from our superstar! Taking over
- Caron Butler really bothering Kobe
- I prefer Reggie Evans starting over DeAndre
- Blake looks really tired

LETS GO CLIPPERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm pretty sure the broadcast on NBATV is with the Clippers announcers and one of them just said "premature speculation" followed by the other guy not knowing how to respond. I laughed pretty hard

Lawler called Foye, Billups, I can see why he would get confused, they are very similar sized. Good first half, but Kobe's shooting to me doesn't seem like it should continue to be this bad. They'll likely try to get him in better spots.

Keep controlling the glass and not turning the ball over, and the Clips should take this game.

55-42 Clippers at the half. Neither team is shooting all that well, but thankfully we have given a strong effort on the rebounds. 35 rebounds total (2 shy of our season average) to their 22, and we have scooped up 13 on the offensive end. The ball is being spread around amongst the starters. All but DJ are in double digits. With Mo sidelined, bench points have been hard to come by. So far, Foye has 1 and that's it. With DJ spending quite a bit of time on the bench to keep him out of foul trouble, Reggie has been a beast on the boards and has given us 4 extra possessions.

In the second half, we need to continue hitting the boards and try to get some higher percentage shots.

We need to keep on the boards, and maintain the tempo. Evans again has been filling in quite nicely as the backup big, giving us extra possessions. Hopefully we won't see Cook anymore, and the bench needs to start scoring. We're missing Mo big time.

How many minutes has Solomon Jones gotten so far this season? Would it be that bad for him to play instead of Cook?

Continue to apply pressure and hit the glass hard

I would start my sister instead of Cook, at least she'd be too afraid to shoot.

Cook with a sprained left ankle, but he will be able to play in the 2nd half.

Jordan just nearly picked up his 3rd foul.

Billups answers Fisher's 3 with one of his own!
