I don't want to be a downer, but we're two games ahead of Memphis in the standings. I'm not saying I'm rooting for us to lose tonight, but if we do, it gets us that much closer to possibly winning the Derrick Rose sweepstakes. I'm just saying...

The Clips TV announcers have said that he'll possibly be back next week.

Let's get a win tonight and end this 10 game losing skid. I'm really sick of losing

I can't wait for this game to start. I'm watching the Bulls game on WGN, and their commentators are just... really bad.. >< Makes me appreciate Ralph and Mike much more.

Clippers off to an 8-0 start before Conley scores the first basket for the Grizz.

Kaman already has 6 rebounds in the first quarter. We really haven't played well with out him, it's great to have him back.

To qualify amongst the league leaders in rebounds for the season you have to have 800 rebounds or 70 games played. Kaman will not meet the games played but will have to pull down 107 boards between now and the end of the season to do so. He'll have to average about 12rpg, he has 7 with just over 4 minutes left in the first quarter.

20-17 after the first. Kaman has 9 rebounds already and Thornton has scored 6 points. Memphis hasn't been shooting it to well. Let's just keep trying to hold them off.

20-17 Clippers at the end of the first quarter. Kaman & Thornton both with 6 points a piece for the Clips. Kaman has had a monstrous first quarter on the boards with 9. Keep up the good work.

Thornton with some sick highlights tonight.

Thornton has impressed me tonight. This is the Thornton that I remember, I didn't really get a chance to watch him while he was struggling. So I'm glad that his game has seemed to come back lately.

AL doing everything right. :thumbsup:

Nice shot by Knight to end the half. we're up 47-43. I can't remember the last time we were up at half time.

^^^and we're actually winning the battle of the boards. It's great to have Chris back. Kaman has 8pts, 12rebs & 2blks, Thornton with 15 points on 50% shooting. I got a couple of these Memphis guys on one of my fantasy teams and these percentages are doing a number on me, I'll probably get bounced in the first week in this league.

Clippers lead by four at the end of three, 75-71
