This could be another tough game. Our starters played a lot yesterday. I think our bench really has to pick it up tonight or we'll lose.

[ClipperDomination]

Back-to-back games are always tough, the Clipps got to come out strong early.

[mj_shoefanatic]

Our bench better score more than five points combined 'cause we already know what Baron, Eric, Al, Zach and Marcus are gonna do(again)

[scratch21]

man we should suit up and help out the bench.

[JJ LoDuca]

^ I'm down for that, scratch, as soon as the league lifts that rule about girls not being allowed to play...I'm all for being #2 behind B.Diddy

This puppy will be tough, because despite their sub-500 record, they have a talented starting lineup...they're a lot like us.

Shouts to my Cameroonian prince Luc Richard...feelin' UCLA baby!

[ClipperDomination]

^ Always gotta give props to Howlander's.

Luc is having a tremendous season, too.

It's sad we're going to have to watch Hart get PT while Taylor is out for some time. Why not just let EJ handle the backup duties...anybody over Hart please!

[thanumba2clippersfan]

I just hope all goes well for us. We are now with out Taylor, our starters had to play heavy minutes last night, and lastly we need more contribution from our bench. Our bench really needs to step up tonight.

EJ already plays like 38+ minutes. You're going to kill the kid if you make him play backup PG minutes. He's not even use to a 82 game season yet.

It was kind of a use of sarcasm, I know Gordon won't play the backup, but please anybody over Hart.

I'm pretty sure Collins has handled some back PG duties since he's come over. Dunleavy probably trusts him more than Hart since he's pretty much our 6th man.

[JJ LoDuca]

^ Well, I trust Collins over Hart too, so in that case...is this a good coaching move by Dun?

[mkwest]

The blue jerseys are back.

[PlinkingPanda]

This looks like it's going to be a very long game.

[mkwest]

Jefferson is flaming hot right now.

[mkwest]

3:41 left in the first and the Bucks are up 23-10.

Clips are 3-14 from the field.

[PETEY PABLO]

Clippers look tired. Their movements are not crisp and defense a little sluggish. Maybe the Bucks are just very hot right now.

[thanumba2clippersfan]

I wouldn't be surprised if we were tired. We had 2OT last night and who knows what time we go in to Milwaukee. We should let the bench get more time than usual to rest our starters

[mkwest]

22 point Milwaukee lead after the first. Clippers look dead tired. Camby is the only doing much of anything for us and he took a hard spill. He landed on his right elbow. We're shooting 4 for 20 and the Bucks are at 15 for 20. If the Clippers don't close the gap some during the 2nd then we may as well give Jordan & Novak some extended time.

[mkwest]

Gordon picks up his 3rd foul on a charge that should have been a blocking foul. Gadzuric's right foot was in the circle.
