It would be nice to get even with the Jazz in this matchup. Like you said. The interior needs to be on lockdown from the Jazz from getting inside.

BTW mk, you might want to change from the Nets logo to the Jazz logo. :wink:

That's what I get for taking short cuts. Thanks for the heads up. :lol:

This is going to be a closer game than last time we played.

I feel this will be kind of like what happened when we played Phoenix multiple times. Got blown out at home one game, then pretty much controlled and won the game the next time. I feel that the Clipps have a real good chance to win this one, as long as Kaman abuses Okur in the post.

It's a trap game for the Jazz. Let's go Clipps.

If Kaman can dominate the boards and paint like he's been doing for most of the season then we have a fighting chance FTW!! However, guys like Brewer, Milsap, AK47 and Korver can't be getting open looks or being able to take high percentage shots so it will be up to CAT, Magz, TT, Thornton, Ross and Powell to contribute on both ends of the court. The reason why we keep losing to these fools is b/c of poor shooting and zero 2nd chance opportunities. :nonono:

Go Clips!! :clap:

Maggette really needs to stick to his man. I do not understand why he always leaves his man to help out. It always ends up with his man shooting an open J. I can understand if he was a big block, steal or rebound type of player but he just needs to be in front of his man to at least put a hand in his face.

We are letting the Jazz convert too many easy buckets.

15-9 Jazz with 6:05 left in the 1st.

They are just way more physical than us. We are playing a little on the soft side.

Jazz get a couple of easy buckets (nothing new) and are up nine.

Corey is off to a good start.

22-15 Jazz in the middle of the 1st.

Kaman picks up his second foul with 1:39 left in the first.

22-18 Jazz. Brewer at the line shooting two.

Sloppy first quarter.

23-20 Jazz

Kaman started out good with 6 straight points, but then faded away, and picked up 2 fouls. Corey is playing good. Why is Kaman playing on Boozer?

The Jazz aren't playing much better, which is why we are still in the game. Here's to a good second quarter!

As Ralph said, so many TO's by both teams in this game. A 3 second call on the Clipps to start the 2nd.

does anyone have the link to the game?

ClipperDomination · Post #14 » by **ClipperDomination** » Mon Jan 21, 2008 9:14 pm

Powell is in the game, btw.

:clap:

Right after I say this, Powell misses an easy lob attempt. :-?

ClipperDomination · Post #15 » by **ClipperDomination** » Mon Jan 21, 2008 9:17 pm

32-26 Jazz with 8:56 left in the second.

9 TO's for each team. Clippers have to get easier, open looks if they want be be in this game.

JJ LoDuca · Post #16 » by **JJ LoDuca** » Mon Jan 21, 2008 9:23 pm

Now a total of 23 TO's by both teams, Jazz have 12pts off our TO's and we have 4 off theirs. Watching all these turnovers is incredible.

ClipperDomination · Post #17 » by **ClipperDomination** » Mon Jan 21, 2008 9:26 pm

Another TO for the Clipps. Bad pass by Cassell.

38-30 Jazz with 5:56 left in the half.

ClipperDomination · Post #18 » by **ClipperDomination** » Mon Jan 21, 2008 9:30 pm

Korver knocks down a three and Williams scores and gets fouled. 47-38 Jazz. This is not looking too good.

ClipperDomination · Post #19 » by **ClipperDomination** » Mon Jan 21, 2008 9:34 pm

Yikes. Lawler said something about Thomas making 6-40 (yes, 6 out of 40) three point field goals in the last "x" amount of games (didn't hear the exact # of games).

Nonetheless, ouch.

50-38 Jazz with 2 minutes left.

ClipperDomination · Post #20 » by **ClipperDomination** » Mon Jan 21, 2008 9:40 pm

Clippers get bailed out as Millsap blocks Thomas badly, but it's called a foul with 0.9 left.

Thomas makes 1 out of two, and that will do it for the 1st half.

Clippers are down 54-43. Kaman hasn't been very active, aside from the first couple minutes of the game. Shot selection hasn't been the greatest. We are letting up way to many easy looks at the basket. The turnovers by both teams (25+ combined in the first half) made it a sloppy game to watch.

Clipps better pick up the slack in the second half.
