This game will be one for the fastlane. Unless the Clips can put a wrench in the Warriors run and gun offense. The Warriors may run the Clips out of Staples.

Actually...this is a home game.

this is a game the warriors must and should win. that being said, i predict a warriors loss.

i hope i'm wrong though.

Haha. I hope you're right. I don't think the Clippers have the balls to contain the Dub's offense right now though. I think it'll be another long night for Clipper Nation.

if denver wins tonight then warriors might take this game. if denver loses then all the clippers need to do is make sure their players come out fully dressed in the 3rd & 4th quarters. that should be good enough for you to win by 4 or 24 points... give or take.

After losing to Sacramento, I doubt Golden State is going to cut us any breaks. I'd looking forward to watching Al play in what should be a very up-tempo game tonight.

[Abyss Impact]

On National TV, Warriors losing last game... Doesn't look too good for Clippers.

[SD2042]

Really doesn't right now.

[PlinkingPanda]

This is going to be one very ugly game.

[mj_shoefanatic]

This loss will get us that much closer to the Derrick Rose sweepstakes.

[from_ro_to_dirk]

will Kaman play at all the rest of the year? Are they basically going to sit him to improve lotto position? I have him on my fantasy team and i need to dump him by sunday if he's going to sit on his ass and draw cave paintings. thanks.

[mkwest]

^^^^ If you have a decent option you might want to look that way. Dunleavy doesn't want to play him unless he's able to play comfortably for 30 mins. It's not really certain that he'll be back this season and if your playoff rosters must be in by Sunday, you might want to try to find the bpa.

I'm back at school so I'm excited that I can actually watch the Clippers on TV. Being in the middle of Pennsylvania I get FSN Pittsburgh so there are no local NBA games that come on over here.

I really don't care if we lose I'm just happy that I get to watch the Clippers. I'm very excited and I hope that we might be able to pull out a win. I know that we aren't making the playoffs and we're sitting players. I still want to see us play hard. Let's show those Warriors what we got!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mkwest]

Now I'm getting a choppy FSN.

[mkwest]

27-14 Warriors with 3:23 left in the first. Dubs with 9 unanswered points (all off of 3's).

[thanumba2clippersfan]

37-26 Golden State. They hit 7 3s on us in the first quarter. Nice ball movement on that last shot attempt we had, too bad it didn't go in. We need to guard the 3 ball.

[mkwest]

We really could have used that 3 by Mobley at the buzzer. Warriors lead 37-26 after 1. They've made 7 3's so far. Powell and Thornton have had some trouble scoring down low. They need to convert those easy baskets. Maggette leads the Clips with 8 and Jackson leads the Warriors with 16 (4-6 3PT).

[thanumba2clippersfan]

Also I think we need to go inside more. The Warriors don't have much inside so we need to take advantage of that.
