The Clippers will be facing the Nuggets on Christmas day trying to go for their 14th win in a row! It should be a great challenge as I'm sure the Nuggets are going to be hungry to end the streak. The matchups look really good here with Chris going up against Ty and Blake playing against Faried. These teams also have two of the deepest benches in the league. I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Super Cool Pre-Game Post!
I think this is going to be a great finish for the 5 televised games tomorrow. It's going to have Blocks, Assists,Dunks & much, much more; My family & I can't wait to represent CLIPPER Nation at Staples tomorrow Night!!

Merry Christmas

okcs will lose to the heat and we will win #14

and be #1 record in the nba

we're at staples tomorrow for this jawn.

let's do it clips.

quality game post btw.

Will be at the game tomorrow.

Hoping for a 14th win to extend the streak for xmas.

Big game. Streak on the line, Nuggets are a well coached strong unit and can beat tough teams. Will be a tough test for us.

Wish I could watch it! Go Clippers!

Merry Christmas everyone. Riverside, Quake and mj, have a good time at the game

Hopefully we can keep this streak going. Denver has won 4 of their last 5 including wins against the Spurs and the Grizzlies.

Happy Holidays!

Merry Christmas everyone. For those going to the game enjoy and represent us well. A Clipper win on Christmas will be a great gift. I remember a few years ago when we got blown out by Phoenix on Christmas. This is back when I couldn't watch them much on TV, this had me so upset. I waited all day to watch and it was a horrible result. I know things have changed and I'm looking for the team to continue to win streak.

positive thinking....say it with me...POSITIVE THINKING.

i prefer to think of Clipper Christmas as the anniversary of Chris Paul's regular season debut for us.


i don't even remember a game scheduled for us because we drafted blake in a season in which he didn't play all year.... call it selective amnesia.

we got this . billups will coach us to a win. wont lets us lose to his old team

POSITIVE THINKING lol

merry christmas everybody. and happy hanukka, and happy quanza!

A look at the Clippers' winter jerseys

Miami took care of business against the Thunder. If the Clippers take care of theirs tonight, we'll be in sole possession of 1st place in the entire league. Let's do this!

OKC loss just made me incredibly nervous for this game. Have we ever been 1st in the league for even an hour at anytime in franchise history?

Them losing helps us. If we win, we're first. If we lose, we're still only a 1/2 game out of first.

You could say we were tied for first in 2007 after the first 4 games. This is best we've been at this point in the season.

We have a winner folks.

well this is it for all the marbles.

used an excuse of having to work tomorrow to ditch the in laws and came home early for this game. LET GO CLIPs
