Previous Matches(This Season)
http://espn.go.com/nba/boxscore?gameId=311225009 (Clippers won 105-86)
http://espn.go.com/nba/boxscore?gameId=320220009 (Warriors won 104-97)

The game against the Spurs was a BIG win. The Clippers did not have a win against them for a decade. It was also the first win in the AT&T Center. Now, lets move onto the Warriors. The first time they met, the Clippers beat them by a significant amount of points, although the score didn't really mention how close the game was up until the fourth quarter. The Warriors won the second game of the season with Monta and Udoh having nice games. The Warriors haven't been doing that great up until now with a 16-21 record. Some nice matchups to look for will be Curry/Monta against Chris and David Lee going up against Blake. This will finally be a home game after the six game road trip so let's go out and win it!

Nice game thread.

Let's hope your streak's going to stay alive and we can beat the Warriors at home.
I think we'll have to try to challenge their three point shooters and not turn the ball over much, while also winning the battle on the boards.

Nice GT areg!

You're officially our lucky charm.

hope we win

We need this win and a 6-0 homestand and I think it's doable.

Ws played last night and Curry might not play or be effective. DJ has to lock up Udoh, Blake has to lock up Lee, and we can't let Ellis go nuts.

Let's not forget about Robinson playing for Curry. Robinson always has a chip on his shoulder & when he gets a chance to play, he is either horrible or amazing.
The Clips need to win this game, the next 6 home games in 8 days is a brutal stretch, even if they get to sleep in their own beds.

We do need a win to start the home stand. We also need to avenge that loss we got to the Warriors last time we played. We are at home so I expect us to play better. I hope Mo and Paul stay hot, Blake plays well, DJ stays out of foul trouble and we rebound the ball.

My full attention will be on this game since college basketball will be taking a bit of a break before the NCAA Tournament.

I heard Curry might be out with an ankle sprain

Another big game to see where we are. With the type of team we are it seems like ALREADY, every game is a big one. I hope to see Griffin have a big game and. DJ to get out of his personal slump.
Also we need Mo and Caron to keep hitting shots along with Foye. CP3 just needs to be himself and I think this one should be ours

CP3 suffered a nasal fracture against the Spurs and will be wearing a Rip Hamilton-style protective mask.

K-Mart is a game time decision and one of the Clipper writers is saying that it is sounding like he will be unable to play.

Didn't hear anything bout that mask for CP3. Shouldn't affect him too much. Also looking for this game or soon for Bledsoe to have a break out game, I really think he's due to prove to us that hes gonna fit in and make an impact. Kinda barracking for him to do that as well.

He didn't make a big deal out of it. It happened in the first quarter and kept on trucking. No media spectacle.

even my wife says CP3 now looks like kobe with that mask

We now have our own masked man

what a great series of defensive plays by DJ

how did griffin stay in the air for that long on that block????

Both teams are 2/8 to start the game

Foye's gotta start hitting if he's going to take all those shots.

Lee has 2 fouls. We need to attack him.

Paul just ripped that right out of his hands, sadly DJ at the line isn't the most surefire turn out, but that's a foul on Ekpe also, so that helps.
