Who?
The LA Clippers look to get back on track in Oakland tonight as they head into tonights matchup having snapped their 17 game streak. GS has been one of the nice surprises in the NBA this year. LA comes into tonight at 10-4 on the road, and GS is 10-4 at home. Something will have to give.
LA lost the previous matchup 114-110 back in early November.
Clippers MUST defend the 3 point line with guys like Steph Curry and Klay Thompkins looming.
This fine thing is our good luck charm of the night
In other news I read grant Hill is close to a return, should be sometime this month, and Chauncey is looking at being out until sometime in February.

This is going to be tough if we come out like we did vs Nuggets.
We need Blake to snap out of whatever small 'slump' he's in cause we need him. Overall everyone didn't play well yesterday. I'd love to see us beat these guys.

After last night's loss, VDN says he told the team "We need to play pissed off and poised tonight." #Clippers

No Caron tonight. Death in his family. He'll be back on Friday against the Lakers.
Matty B gets the start.

OKC just got blown out by Brooklyn, #1 spot is ours again if we can get it done tonight.
Durant gets ejected for the first time in his career with 2 minutes left in the 4th

That's too bad for Butler, we could really use him. I don't want Barnes to play 40 plus minutes but we don't have many options. This will probably be a tough one tonight. We need to bring it on defense. I hope the guys remember how we lost to them.

unlike theNuggets if we play Odom at the three it will fail so three guard line-up will probably get the nod with Paul-Bledsoe-Crawford

^that leaves us with only willie as viable surplus, we are gonna have some issues on nights like this until at least one of grant or chauncey are back.

Replacing Butlers minutes should be easy. Either go small or go big. You can play Crawford at the 3 due to GS mostly being a smallish outside shooting team. You could also go big and play Odom there and give Hollins some burn tonight.

yeah i was watching the 4th quarter of their game. amazing to see them tie it after trailing a couple of dozen points then brooklyn will their way back to blow them out at the end in OKC's homecourt.
i get a feeling that the nets are still underachieving and by the end of their season they can surprise a lot of people out in the east

both moves are grossly mismatched against harrison barnes. one doesn't have enough size or defensive ability against harrison and the other one is way too slow to cover
im hoping for #2's option and would rather see matt barnes going 40 minutes.

Well I do expect Matt Barnes to play 30+ minutes. Harrison Barnes will sit some too. That's when you play the back up for the most part. I think we could afford Crawford or Odom check Barnes for 6-10 minutes.
