This one should be a lot easier than yesterday's game. I like our chances and since we got blown out our starters didn't have to play major minutes. Time to end the losing streak.

After having season tix last year, this is so far the first and most likely the last game i'll be going to this season... Glad that its' Lawler night!

I'm a HUGEEEEE KG fan, so this might be the last time i'll see him play, it's quite possible that he retires this off season.

Wish I could go tonight. Hopefully the energy is there

It's not a losing streak until a team incurs three losses in a row. For the most part, the Clippers have well avoided that, except for that one time in February, where they lost to the Nets, Cavaliers, Raptors and Thunder in one swoop.

Griffin is said to be back tonight. It's Ralph Lawler night. And the Clippers are building an invincible streak against the Timberwolves, a streak the Lakers once used to be proud owners before it was broken in the 2013-14 season. But there's also something else. I can't put my finger on it, but every time the Clippers do a good Samaritan act off-the-court for a person of need, they've automatically won. There was one time where Paul helped out a person with cancer, and another where Crawford helped a kid who lost his sister. Ranma can help me out with this. Lawler night fits with the good Samaritan streak.

Based on all these factors, I'm calling it an automatic win tonight vs. the Wolves. No three-game losing streak to be seen here.

This win needs to be for Ralph.
We better bounce back!

Ralph Lawler night!


BINGO!
THE LOB, THE JAM!
settle down Mike Smith.


LET'S DO THIS!

i enjoyed the big red Bill Walton's off the wall commentaries immensely back in the day and SHOCKED that Ralph just said that was 18 years ago. has it been really that long already? OH man I miss his over the top exaggerated expressions such as

"that was the worst basketball play in the history of mankind!"
"piatkowski just made the greatest defensive play in Clippers franchise history!"
"my god that dunk is out of this world, he is from another planet"

wow we have the general Zod (Hawes) and Non (Pekovic) on the floor together.where is Ursa?

Through the first 4 minutes, JJ is a quarter of the way from tying the NBA record for 3's in a game.

The NBA record is only 12 3's in a game?

DJ is finding different ways to be active around the paint offensively.

Yep, held by Kobe and Donyell Marshall.

I'm surprised Klay Thompson didn't pass it when he went 11-11 in a single quarter. I would love for JJ to break some records. I don't think we give him enough minutes though which doesn't help.

The dude runs around the court on offense non stop. You can't expect him to be able to play 36 minutes a night.

What's going on, I thought we could handle the Twolves

Wolves are a much better team now that they are healthy. People forget that Rubio, Martin, and Pek have been injured majority of the year.

He was one off.

JJ is averaging the 2nd highest minutes of his career. I think that's pretty good considering there's some games that he doesn't play in the 4th at all. Not to mention how much distance he covers over the course of a game, which probably lowers his minutes a little.

Nice left-handed finish by Baby Doc plus the foul.

Nate makes chucking up bad shots fun
