4:25 into the first and the Clippers lead 11-3. BK and Collison both headed to the bench early with 2 quick fouls. Both teams were sloppy to start the Clippers have 4 turnovers (3 by Maggette) but playing a bit smoother now.

[mkwest]

Maggette picks up an offensive foul and commits his 4th turnover. #42 enters the game.

I see that EB has scored!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mkwest]

Brand's out there hustling. 2 points, 2 boards and an assist in his first 4 minutes. He's a little rusty, but damn it's great to see him out there on the court. Thornton is having a nice game so far with 8 points (3-3 FG, 2-2 3PT).

[mkwest]

Marcus Williams also getting some minutes early in the game.

[mkwest]

If he can take that kind of contact he's good to go folks.

[mkwest]

Elton with the jumper from the top of the key to extend the lead to 27-22 at the end of the first quarter.

[JJ LoDuca]

Man, EB looks great! I mean, he looks rusty and out of shape but...DAMN HE LOOKS GOOD IN RED!! I'm lovin' every second of this

[adiedanny]

Damn, I missed those EB low post shots.

[magicfan4life05]

PARTY OVER HERE

50-48 Sonics at the half. Turnovers have been the biggest problem for the Clips. 13 already while the Sonics only have 5. We're shooting decently and hitting the boards but that's all for not if we can't hold on to the ball. Thornton has 12 to lead the Clippers in scoring, Durant leads all scorers with 13. Powell has been looking sharp with his jumpers. Fazekas looks like he's playing in slow motion and can barely lift off the ground but the guy is effective. In 6 minutes of play he has 4 points and 5 boards. I really wish that Davis wouldn't have gotten hurt earlier this season. Powell has been able to showcase his potential. Fazekas has been a decent pick-up and although I think we'll probably pick up the option on Davis, it would have been nice to see all that he could have done when Kaman and Thomas were down and we were short on big men.

[thanumba2clippersfan]

I see that turn overs have been our problem. I saw that we were up and the next time I checked I saw that the Sonics were up. We need to hold onto the ball. The Sonics are a team that we have a good chance of beating.

[mkwest]

5:40 left in the 3rd and Clippers lead by 3. 63-60.
