We need Maggette to play today. Hopefully we can put in an effort like we did yesterday. Thornton didn't play so well last night so he really needs to step up his game tonight.

The nice, and not so nice thing about playing Portland is that rarely blow anyone out or get blown out themselves. Like the first of the back to backs when Portland was in control the entire game, but you just knew they weren't going to finish that team off. On the other hand if the Clips dominate tonight, Portland will hang around and make a game out of it.
Good luck the rest of the way and into the off season. Injuries suck, and you guys have had more than your share this season. Hopefully we will meet you next year in the playoffs.

Thanks and good luck to Portland as well. You guys have a great looking future. I was glad to read that Oden has been able to practice with the team.

22-17 Blazers at the end of 1. Yesterday we both were shooting pretty well to start the game, tonight not so much. Clips are 30% from the field and Portland is just under 43%. Maggette & Aldridge both have 8 points. Also, Memphis, Minnesota, Milwaukee & Charlotte all picked up wins tonight.

Good game so far. Gotta admit, I'm splitting my time between this and the UCLA game though...!!!

Clippers take the lead as Maggette drives to the hoop and is fouled plus he scores off of the Przybilla Goaltend. 25-24 Clippers 10:07 left in the 2nd.

I'm trying to keep my eye on that too. They gotta step it up.

Kevin Love is a beast.
Coincidence that he too wears #42?
...I doubt it.

And you know this!

Now if he just trims down and tones up like EB did in '05.

I hope the Aggies can pull off the upset and expose these Westwood frauds.

ahhh man. I roll with SC & UCLA both, I don't care about the rivalry too much. I didn't go to either school.
That was a nice turnaround jumper by Love.

44-34 Blazers at halftime. Portland finished the quarter on a 10-2 run. Aldridge coming up big as he usually does against us. He has 16 points. Maggette is the only Clipper in double figures, he has 13 off of 4-9 shooting and is 5-6 from the line.

I'm not an USC fan, I was just commenting on how UCLA won because a few of the other Clipper fans mentioned it.
I go to Penn State so UCLA and USC don't really matter to me.

What's most important is that our Clippers are losing. We need to play a college team then we would be able to win.
