"If Dirk plays, I will," Kaman said Wednesday before the Clippers played host to the Washington Wizards.
That would be his buddy and Dallas Mavericks star Dirk Nowitzki. Dallas will play the Clippers at Staples Center next Wednesday and Kaman said the two might talk about the issue.
"If he's not playing, then I'm not playing," Kaman said. "It's all on him."

Willie Warren Progress ReportPrior to being sent back to the D-League, Willie made some comments that could have indicated that he's just not that passionate about playing basketball at this time in his life. In Warren's latest stint with the Jam he has averaged 16.2 points, 3.6 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 1 steal in just under 30 minutes per game. The team went 3-2 in the games that he has played in his 2nd go around. Unfortunately, his percentages have been terrible (36% FG & 22% 3FG) outside of the free-throw line (92%).

love to see us beat Lakers, i think Mos like Baron in that he can really spark us in big games so we need Mo to fire up and if Gordon/Griffin be there normal dominant selves i think we've got a great chance.. we need DJ back too though

I hope playing the Lakers brings the best out of use. We have been playing OK lately, but I know we can play better.

L.A. will never completely belong to the Fakies as long as Clipper Nation is around.

I'm hearing that DJ will play tonight
VDN on DeAndre Jordan: "He's feeling better. He shot around this morning. We'll see what his energy is like in the game."

18-10 start for the Lakers. We have had some enforced errors and Lakers just aren't missing. We will have to step it up on D

EJ better make an early return, since Foye's number was called early. Although, he will need his rest due to having the toughest tasks of the night. He guards Kobe and then gets guarded by Artest on the defensive end. He can't coast on one side of the game like some players.

Basket by Aminu. I want to see more from him. It looks like the other player we were thinking of picking, Paul George, has been doing quite good for the Pacers.
