Haha, Dun on the Injury Report. Good one. He's been out for awhile (mentally) anyways.

It'll be nice to finally see what Randolph can offer to us. Hopefully I can go home and watch the 2nd half. I got a class that starts at 6.. doesn't end till 9 usually, but with finals coming up I doubt I'll be staying there so long.

Go team?

I think Zach will help us a lot against the smaller teams like Denver (KMart and Nene). Looks like it should be a good game if our guys show up (Kaman, Al, EJ), but I don't see a win unless we defend Carmelo. We don't really have anyone that can come close to stopping him if he decides to play hard.

Dunleavy's really out? Who's going to coach, Kim Hughes? Hopefully he can get us a W! We actually looked pretty good last game, just hope we keep the energy and ball movement up. Also, please Al, when you draw the defenders on the penetration, pass the rock to EJ!!!!

I'm actually going to this game. Hopefully I can give the Clippers some luck, I'm glad that we'll finally have our new players.

^ I'll be there too. I seriously hope Hughes can coach Zach & Co. to a victory against a very decent Denver team.

btw thank the good lord that Ricky is OUT :rockon:

Should be interesting to see how Zach does. He was playing pretty well for the Knicks before he got traded. In theory, he could actually be one of the (very) few players who does OK in Doneleavy's "brilliant" matchup offensive scheme.

I say the over/under on how long before he begins to totally tune Doneleavy out is 7 games. :lol:

Nevertheless, here comes another double digit home loss.

Clippers have to defend Defend DEFEND. I hope to see an inside out game between Randolph / Novak , if Zach does come off the bench. If gordon has another good game and Al Thornton has a higher percentage, plus Randolph production , I think LA can win this game.

OK, bullet points because I've got an early deadline with the holiday:

--Kim Hughes will coach tonight. Mike Dunleavy did not make it back from practice

--Brian Skinner and Jason Hart have the flu and are not even here tonight.

--Ricky Davis is contemplating shutting it down for two weeks to rest his painful left knee. He says that it's been affecting his play to the point that he's ``hurting the team more than anything''

--Chris Kaman is deciding whether he can play tonight. His left arch has flared up and been causing him severe discomfort of late. He plans to get a cortisone shot soon.

--Zach Randolph would start is Kaman is unable to play tonight.

Bingo! Eric Gordon with his 2nd 3 of the game. He has 8 of our 15 point. Oooh he almost had another one. 16-10 Clips at the 6 minute mark.

Al picks up 2 early fouls and Collins sees his first action on the floor for the Clippers. He'll give guarding Melo a shot.

I dont get why J.R. Smith is starting over Jones. He is obviously better then him.

Mardy Collins is in for the first time ever, this should be interesting. Dude is a good passer and ball handler, basically two Point Guards, but one is a big 6'6 an can defend well, then you got Eric who can also handle the ball greatly.

If we keep playing like we started out, we should take this one, but got to make sure that the Nuggets bench doesn't go off, mainly JR Smith and Linas Kleiza.

Yup, and he also picked up his second. Were very thin at the SF spot on the deffensive end, need to stay out.

Zach is about to check in, and Mardy Collins exits. Triple towers are in
