After ending that long losing streak in Utah, the Clilppers lost their final home game against Denver before they hit the road.

They'll now travel east for their six game road trip, which will start in the nations capitel.
This marks Caron Butler's homecoming to the team he enjoyed the most individual success with, as he was able to make it the to eastern conference all-star team twice, while playing for the Wizards.

The Wizards will be at the back end of a back-to-back, coming home from Canada, where they'll play the Toronto Raptors on Friday.

Key Matchup

Image
Chris Paul

vs

Image
John Wall

CP3 has shown so far why we traded for him, as he's been the closer in the 4th quarter, while making his teammates better as well. This time he'll face one of the up and coming point guards in John Wall, who started slow this season, but has been playing well as of late.


Our lucky charm for for this one(road game edition)

Sabine Lisicki (German Tennis player and last years Wimbledon semifinalist)

Five Questions:

How will Blake do on defense against Lewis and his perimeter game?
Will Butler be able to show his former team a thing or two?
Who wins the key matchup?
Will Chauncey be able to catch up with Nick Young?
Which teams bench will score more points?


Discuss and Go Clips Go!!!

I'm afraid how quiet mkwest has been after last nights lost. His silence is rather unnerving, you can feel him reading everything, but he doesn't say anything. I'm scared, hold me areg.

Bounce back. I've got full confidence in the team we'll be able to take this one quite comfortably. Wizards can be alright at home but we should be far better, even on the road

Hey all. Not sure if this is real or what or if anyone is even interested. I got a flyer on some free tickets for the clips last night after the game....

I am gonna try it, see what happens. It said to go to http://www.houseofbailbonds.com then to click on the dunk link. There's probably a catch....anyone else see this?

Wizards got blown out in Toronto tonight. I don't know if that's good or bad. This is a team that we should beat and a very winnable game. That being said you can't take any NBA team lightly. The Wizards did beat the Thunder after all. Hopefully we take out the frustration of losing to the Nuggets on the Wizards. We just need to be focused and have a good showing on the road. We want to start this long road trip right.

It looks like Bledsoe is inactive again tonight.

Butler makes his return to the Verizon center for the first time since being traded.

McGee (70, 3.0) and DJ (60, 3.0) are 1 & 2 in blocks. It should be a good match-up.

I am loving the up-tempo nature to this game! Solid defense so far too.
