Key Matchup


VS.


And since we're facing the Nets, which has Kris Humphries in it, this will be our lucky charm for this game


We should hopefully win this one easily, even with CP3 out.

I'm assuming foye and billups will be the two guards starting if cp3 and mo decide to sit out and I hope I did pretty well making my first game thread

Yes. Good job

I hope that the Clips are up for this game, if not ,beware. If we don't have Mo & CP3, Foye & Gomes will have to step up. I am also looking at Reggie Evans pissing off Kris Kardashian and really working him down low.
I am also thinking that Blake will have a Huge game, maybe a triple-double.

I'm going to miss this game...

Nice areg789!

No Paul, no problem? I sure hope so, but I'm not writing them off. I'd really like our chances if Mo was able to return. If he's unable to go, I'd assume Butler would play some 2 (when one of Billups or Foye is on the bench) and we'd probably see more of Gomes. Foye tends to play well with the starters. When EJ was down last season, he was able to lessen the blow offensively. Humphries was one of the toughest match-ups for Blake last season. In 2 games, Humphries put up 16 points on 87% shooting, 16 rebounds and 1.5 blocks to Blake's 17 points and 6 rebounds.

Update: CP3 has been upgraded to questionable after originally being ruled out.

Will you be able to catch the replay?

I got a new Clippers hoodie and I wore it outside today after the Lakers lost. That got some funny reactions/mean looks, lol.

I think we're just going to take caution with CP3's injury. It's crazy that the backup to CP3 is Billups, haha. That's almost unfair.

Isn't it funny how Blake and Humphries kinda look alike.

Very nice GT thread. Appreciate the work. I seem to to be the only guy on the Knicks board that gives an effort in these as well. Go Clips!

Should be fine without CP3, although I have to admit, it would be a tantalizing match-up to see Paul go up against D-Will.

Actually, on second thought, probably better that he rests. We have a ton of games this week. Chauncey should be fine. Would be nice to have Mo, but I think that it's Ok. Blake has the ability to take over games by himself - We haven't seen that as much this year because the ball has always been in CP3's hands. Still think he has the ability.

No Paul, Mo, or Cook for this afternoon's game

Ouch! No Cookie?

Without CP3 neutralizing D-Will, this game may be tougher than it appears. Although D-Will has been awful as of lately, they are making a ton of 3's, our perimeter D will need to be solid this game.

Here we go

What a move from BG.

Great putback from D.J.

Kenny and Stephen A. Smith are in attendance today.

fixed the nets lineup

I knew this game wouldn't be cake. Hopefully Leslie and Jones get some PT.

We have a 12-10 edge early in the game
