Maggette's probable...again and Ross is doubtful. I don't know what's up with Knight, but I know what you mean. It's been ridiculous all season long and a waste of time trying to guess.

Let's play the role of spoiler and end GSW's playoff push if it's hasn't already ended thanks in part to A.I. and Melo a few nights ago. :lol:

EB needs to BEAST in this one!! :pray:

The first matchup between these two teams where EB will be paying, that'll be fun to watch.

And it would be nice to erase their hopes for a playoff appearance. Just a taste of revenge.

It's nice to see Maggette back, I thought that he wasn't gonna play

5:23 left in the first and Dubs lead 24-15. Maggette is back in action.

We're down 20 already

Warriors up 42-26 after the first. Golden State is 6-9 from 3 and have about 16 points in the paint. 18 fastbreak points.

We usually don't hit 3s but they're falling

Clippers have outscored the Dubs 11-4 in the first 2 minutes of the 2nd quarter. It's now a 9-point game.

Mobley with 3 of them himself.

Looks like Warriors have been struggling in this quarter, but they haven't played their regulars in this quarter

Post #13 » by **mkwest** » Sun Apr 13, 2008 3:22 am

With 5:34 left in the half the Clippers have made it a 4 point game. Warriors lead 53-49. Ellis will be headed to the line to shoot 2.

Yeah, I wasn't really expecting to see Belinelli in either. Croshere has gotten some burn as well.

Horrible possession by the Clips.

We played a great second quarter. The closest we got it to was 4, this is how we should be playing. Even though we're down I'm pleased, 68-61 Warriors

Clippers trail 61-68 at the half. They're moving the ball well on offense, a couple possessions towards the end they didn't utilize good clock management (one resulted in a shot clock violation). As #2 said earlier, we benefited from Warriors having a less than stellar lineup with their key guys on the bench. It was looking ugly early so even being down 7 is a positive. We got within 4 but weren't able to get over the hump. Utah has whooped up on Denver so this is an even more meaningful game for the Warriors.

Mobley leads all scorers with 16 points (6-10 FG, 4-7 3PT). Brand has 12 and Thornton has 13.

Clippers have been down by as many as 17 in the quarter but finished within 9. Warriors lead 93-84 and Lawler's Law is quickly approaching. Thornton (22 points, 10 rebounds and 9 assists), Brand (18 points, 10 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 blocks), and Mobley (20 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks) lead the way for the Clippers. Maggette in his return has struggled from the field shooting 2-9 (both were 3's).

Thornton and Brand both with double doubles, Warriors up 93-84

Post #20 » by **mkwest** » Sun Apr 13, 2008 4:30 am

Clippers are within 3. 90-93.
