Game #21: Clippers(4-16) @ Blazers(8-11)

[Det the Threat]

After fighting hard and not being rewarded for it against the Denver Nuggets, who shot an unbelieveable 59 free throws, on Friday Night the Clippers will head to the Northwest to play another Northwest Division team.
This time it will be in the Rose City of Portland, where they'll meet the LaMarcus Aldridge, Brandon Roy on a gimpy knee, former Clipper Marcus Camby and the rest of the Blazers.

5 Questions:
Will EJ be able to use those knee problems against Roy?
Will Blake be able to dominate the boards with Camby going against him?
What kind of production will our bench bring?
Can Bledsoe keep his turnovers down?
Can we contain Aldridge?

Discuss and Go Clips Go!!!

Looking for the Clippers to get win number 1 on the road. I believe that the Blazers have lost 6 in a row or something like that. They may think that this is the game they get to snap their losing streak. We need to continue with the strong defense, crashing the boards, and sharing the ball on offense.

I think Baron will start tonight.

[mkwest]

I knew Blake's vertical was better than what he measured out at the combine, but 41"

[mkwest]

Gordon fouled Miller with his head?

[mkwest]

Miller fouls DJ, but DJ is called for it. WTH?

[thanumba2clippersfan]

I know I felt like I wanted to cry during that call.

We are down 22-9 didn't think we would struggle so much

[thanumba2clippersfan]

Good D by Gordon on Mathews, 24 second violation

[thanumba2clippersfan]

3rd foul on Kaman, I guess we won't see him until the 2nd half

[thanumba2clippersfan]

Tough first quarter down 30-15

[mkwest]

15-30 at the end of 1. A few bad calls to start the game, but Portland has just looked great. Nothing has come easy for us so far.

I have to keep in control for tonight's game, no matter what. That Denver game had me furious.

[thanumba2clippersfan]

What a move by Baron

[mkwest]

Nice move and finish by Baron.

Same here, those calls in Denver were total BS

[thanumba2clippersfan]

I don't want to be in for another frustrating game

I don't think we're doing any of things I said we need to do to be successful in this game

[thanumba2clippersfan]

Not much going right so far
