2 days left to vote for your 2012 All-Star Starters. Voting ends Tuesday.

Coming off a big win in Denver. let's see how much gas the Clips have playing back to back. OKC has been waiting in L.A. for a day or 2, so you know they will be well rested.
I think Mo needs to go off & show Harden that he is competition for the 6th man award. CP3 has to show Westbrick that he is the best PG in the league. KD will get his, Blake will get his; let's just hope the Clips get the win!

This should be a great game. I'll definitely watch.

I wish we had at least a day to rest before we play OKC. I'm still interested to see how we matchup. I'm expecting a tough game and I hope we come out on top.

We've been pretty good at home against the top teams so far.

Let's hope it stays that way and we're able to win against them OKC good faith efforts...

we got over the first hump, of beating a good team on the road, so now comes the biggest challenge so far in this season. if we beat OKC, our possibilities are limitless.

Huge test for our guys. Dunno if ill be able to watch it but

OKC are tough, we've been good at home but this will really see where we are, I don't know what to expect.

it's game time! hope matt joins us tonight.

like the intensity so far, looks as our guys are pretty pumped

2 open 3's by Butler so far. Both assisted by Griffin.

i would let ibaka take that shot all night

Blake really reads the defense well on offense and will find the outside shooters if the defense compresses

I thought it was bad that Paul hesitated, but he proved me wrong and drilled the 3.

i like quick starts by caron, but he needs to keep that up all 4 quarters.

do you get the feeling that griffin is not looking to take it inside as much because he fears going to the FT line?

Deandre!!

Oh damn! DJ with a huge putback slam.

Butler, keep shooting, haha

Butler off to another patented quick start. That might not bode well for him offensively in the latter part of the game, but I'll take it.

i wish DJ would try to put the ball through the hoop a bit harder, than just trying to dunk harder sometimes.

Hmm...the offense is looking pretty good right now, and that is mainly because shots are falling, but also because Chris is being aggressive and getting into the paint
