Where: US Airways Center in Phoenix, AZ
When: Friday, January 2nd, 2009 @ 6:00 PM
TV: N/A
Radio: 1260 AM














Injury Report:
Los Angeles Clippers

Zach Randolph (bruised left knee), Chris Kaman (Plantar Fasciits, left foot), Mike Taylor (wrist), Baron Davis (bruised tailbone) and Ricky Davis (Left knee Tendinitis) are out.

Phoenix Suns

Steve Nash (back spasms) will play.

Eric Gordon has continued to climb the rookie rankings and comes in at #6 for the week of January 1st.

You know that saying about how a flower that blooms in adversity is the most rare and beautiful of all? Despite the No. 1 guy on this list's last name, that little proverb applies perfectly to Gordon. The solid 6-3, 222-pound guard produced as a freshman at Indiana in the midst of a coaching scandal and he's getting it done as a rookie in the league even though drama has surrounded the Clippers all season long.

Radio only eh? I didn't realize we were living in the early 1900s.

And wtf when did Baron get injured? Last game? I have a feeling we're in for another slow game thread.

Apparently he's been hurt for awhile and just playing through the pain. He's doubtful for Sunday as well.

[Purpose]

I wouldn't be surprised if we go on a 2 game winning streak in his absence.

[ClipperDomination]

^ This game already looks to be over judging from the box score.

[mkwest]

I wouldn't be surprised if we go on a 2 game winning streak in his absence.

It doesn't look like that would start tonight.

33-15 Suns at the end of the 1st.

I see. I guess Collins will be getting a lot of backup minutes at PG. Let's hope Hart can step it up a bit like he did that one season he started for us too.

[mkwest]

I'm impressed the Clips got within 9.

Fishy it's been posted btw.

[mkwest]

Nice move to the basket by Gordon who finished with the two-handed slam.

[mkwest]

Nash hits a 3 right before the end of the half to extend their lead to 13.

34 points for the Clips in the 2nd quarter. Camby with 10 & 13. Bench has put up 22 points. Gordon, Thornton & Jones have been struggling with their shot. They are a combined 5 of 21 from the field.

I see that we had a slow start in the first and that Baron Davis is out. I knew it must have been too good to be true to see that in the beginning of the season we had no injuries. Looks like another slow game for us, but we did pick it up in the second quarter.

Stoudemire gets all head as Al drove to the basket.

[thanumba2clippersfan]

I hope that we get some players back by Sunday, I have tickets to that game.

[thanumba2clippersfan]

Camby is the only player doing anything for us offensively

[mkwest]

Great ball movement by the Clippers which gives Al a good look from 3 and he nails it. 6-point game.

[mkwest]

Stoudemire is automatic.

[mkwest]

Jason Hart out the rest of the game with elbow tendinitis

[thanumba2clippersfan]

Did Jason Heart get injured?

[PlinkingPanda]

wow we have no PGs at all now. Is Jones playing PG atm?
