Clippers @ Jazz
Mar 28, 2008 at Utah, 9:00 pm
Last Meeting: Feb 22, 2008, W 114-104

Starting Lineups:
C- Chris Kaman
PF- Tim Thomas
SF- Al Thornton
SG- Corey Maggette
PG- Brevin Knight

C- Mehmet Okur
PF- Carlos Boozer
SF- AK-47
SG- Ronnie Brewer
PG- Deron Williams

Keys to the Game:
- Show Tim Thomas were the basket is, hopefully he will get a basket.
- Slow down the attack that is Deron Williams. It will be a hard task for Knight to do. On the other hand, Thomas will have his hands full with Boozer.
- Show some fight and pride and end this horrible skid that we are on.

Hopefully our starting 5 + Smush, Powell and Fazekas come to play. Is Kaman gonna be available for this one?

This is the last non-televised game of the year. It was a breath of fresh air to have Kaman back. In the last game, Ralph said that EB hopes to play sometime next week but we'll see how that goes. The game thread sign-ups are posted for April with 7 of the last 8 games available for y'all to sign up for I know that activity has been down for awhile but hopefully with the return of EB and this season coming to an end we'll be able to finish this season on a positive note.

It would be decent to get out of this funk and get a win for a change.

I really hope that we can get a win for a change. It will be hard to stop Utah at home but this is the NBA. Anyone can beat anybody on a given night. Hopefully Friday night will be our night. I also wasn't aware that this game won't be on TV

Check that post on the Fantasy league. Lately it seems like it's only been the audio only though, so no guarantees.

CLIPPERS BY 30

I'll admit I've lost a lot of interest for the rest of the season. There's not much to really cheer about. Thornton and Maggette have cooled off and they are the only players who make the games seem at least entertaining when we're losing.

Tonight's game will be on TV if you have NBA League Pass. We're not broadcasting it put the people in Utah are. I have to admit my interest level has dropped just a little bit. Before I would study and at the updated score at the same time. Now I pretty much just study when the Clippers game is on and I check on the score every once in awhile. Since it is Friday I will watch this game and see how it goes. Hopefully we do get a victory out of it.

My interest level has dropped off significantly as well. Sure I've been busy with work, midterms-- all that good stuff-- but usually I still make the time to watch every game. This time around though...I don't think I've watched a full game since the loss in Minnesota, and not necessarily by choice, I've been busy...but if we were winning a few ball games, I'd probably find the time to catch some action. The one thing that keeps me going is the anticipation of EB's return. Anyway, we beat the Jazz the last time around, but we haven't had as much luck in the great state of Utah. We'll see.

After our amazing defeat of the Jazz in LA, I think we are due for a major a** whipping. I say we lose by 30+.

I too have lost interest in the last few months. Its not just that we're losing, there just doesn't seem to be much hope.

And what the heck happened to Al Thornton?

Seeing Elton back for a few games will bring some much needed excitement.

Al did have a pretty good game against the Spurs and maybe the injury that Thornton had was effecting his game. This is his first year in the league and he is going to struggle some times.

We're still not down by double digits by Utah, 20-27

31-24 Jazz at the end of 1st.

Looks like it might be another one of those games Utah is up 48-32. We haven't scored much in the second, I'm not watching the game as of yet. I can just guess by the box score that we're struggling on offense.

I haven't been able to see it myself. Williams & Boozer have outscored us with a combined 39 points. As I type, Deron just picked up his 3rd foul.

56-43 Jazz at the half.

Kaman with 10 points & 4 boards, and Maggette with 13 points & 3 boards and 4 assists lead the way for the Clippers. I suppose Mobley is playing decently as well. It's good to see Kaman getting involved early after missing so many games but it's still not enough to hang with Utah's 1-2 punch.

We have picked it up some what in the third. But we're still down by double digits 71-60 Jazz

90-71 at the end of the third Jazz. We need one great quarter in order for us to win. I'm happy that Kaman is back and playing.

We are making it a little more interesting in the fourth, 109-93. We did have it down to 14 until Hart made a jumper.

Utah got us 121-101. A bright spot is that we scored over 100 points and Maggette scored 28. Kaman chipped in with 16 and Thornton with 13. Hopefully we can play better against Memphis.
