Game #42: Clippers(24-17) vs Suns(20-22)

by Det the Threat
After finally winning one last night against the Hawks, the Clippers will host the Phoenix Suns at Staples for the second end of a back-to-back.

While the Clippers have been struggling as of late and lost their lead in the pacific division, the Steve Nash led Suns have been heating up a bit and might still be in the playoff hunt.

To win this one, the Clippers will need to rebound the ball and try to limit their turnovers, while finding a third and fourth consistant scorer next to Blake and Chris.

Image Chris Paul 8.3 APG & 2.3 SPG

Key Matchup


Image
Chris Paul

vs

Image
Steve Nash

While not being a good defender, Nash still knows how to get his teammates open, as seen with his league leading 11.1 APG, and will punish every team that leaves him open. Chris will need to try and keep him in check while using his quickness to get by the two time MVP and either score or create for others.


Our lucky charm for for this one

Clippers Fan Jessica Alba

Five Questions:

Will Caron be able to have a solid offensive outing?
Can DJ keep Gortat in check?
Who will win the key matchup?
Who will have more trouble? Blake guarding Frye on the perimeter or Frye guarding Blake down low?
Will we make a trade today?


Discuss and Go Clips Go!!!

Young would beast in a game like this but since we probably won't have him 'til next game I fully expect Eric B and Mo to bring that energy and hustle(again) off the bench and of course everyone else to show up (incl Caron) ready to beat the living :censored: outta the PHX Suns.

Also, Jessica Alba had her fanhood revoked after Barren Davis was TRADED. :lol:

Uh oh, no Brian Cook and Young won't play yet. A very short-handed Clipper line-up tonight. Not much firepower.

I want as much Bledsoe as possible. We're just better when he's out there.

Wow! Suns are holding out Nash and Hill. Our guys better not screw this up. Suns are in the middle of a b2b2b.

Surprised they took Blake out, but he already looks gassed. He hasn't looked right lately, probably good to get him as much rest as possible.
