Mike Taylor is going to be something special

Monta Ellis two? Well I wouldn't go that far but he's a far sight better than Jason Hart already.
I really like 1840s merchant vessels. Basketball on the other hand, I can take it or leave it...

Indeed. It's nice that he's able to get minutes and backup Davis so early in the season. This will only help him improve much quicker.

Now if only Gordon could get some minutes to develop...

Gordon minutes are going to be limited. The man was upset when he was drafted, and now shows no indication that he wants to play now. He has a bad attitude.

Mike Taylor is loved by Dunleavy. That's why we have him. He is a quality player which needs a lot of practice time to be a true backup to Baron. Jason doesn't seem to fit the offense at all.

Go Clippers 0-5 could turn to be 5-5 in 10 days!

What do you mean by bad attitude? Gordon is a very shy, soft spoken person in general. He'll never show much excitement, anger, sadness, etc. I guess you can say he's kind of like a Tim Duncan in that aspect. When's he on the court, he can flat out play. He was in early last night, but only played 4 mins before Dumbleavy took him out. How do you expect him to build confidence like that?

I love Taylor, I would like to see him and Baron on the court together, where I think Baron can capitalize on Taylor's natural SG skills. When we play small teams like GS, I'd like to see Baron, Taylor, and Gordon all on the floor at the same time...then we could really fly.

He is going to be solid but with Hart losing it I thhink it's too muchpressure for him early on as the main back-up. We need to bring in another vet PG.

I wouldn't mind trading Hart for a veteran backup, but I can't see any team willing to acquire him at this point. Taylor can serve as a backup to Davis, he should only need to play around 12-15 mpg if Davis is healthy.

I've been a big fan of Taylor and have been very pleased by his play thus far. He's been playing ahead of Hart these past few games and my guess is that it will stay like that for the immediate future.
I've been an LA Clipper fan since 1998 and that will never change. I hate our new logo and jerseys!
