VS

Time: 7:30 PM
Radio: AM 710 ESPN Radio
TV: FSN Prime Ticket

Starting for our Clippers

The Bench is getting healthier day by day

The same old injuries

Baron Davis (bruised tailbone), Zach Randolph (bruised left knee), Mike Taylor (fractured right thumb), and Chris Kaman (Strained left arch) are out.

Starting for the Bucks

Bucks Reserves

Injured Bucks
Charlie Bell (right ankle soreness) is day-to-day.
Andrew Bogut (lower back spasms) is out.

Our last 12 games hasn't been a good stretch for our team. We have come close in some games only to fall short in the final few minutes. The last time we played the Bucks we got beat pretty bad and that was the loss that started the losing streak. We might be in a little better shape than our last couple of games. Camby, Thornton, and Gordon really need to bring it tonight along with Ricky Davis. The good news is that the Bucks beat the Warriors in OT last night so hopefully they are a little fatigued. This would be a good opportunity to end our losing streak and beat the team that gave us the first loss of the streak.

The longest losing streak I remember us having is 13 maybe 5 seasons ago. Our losing streak will end someday, and maybe someday is TODAY.

Well despite our horrific 12 game losing streak. I am still somewhat pleased with this Clipper team. There 3 best players (imo) are all out and in most of the games in this 12 game losing streak we have come very close to winning.

Some of our guys have really been playing their hearts out, and we can't ask more of them than that.
Mardy has surprised me and has been a real help; Marcus is a true wonder; EJ shows flashes of a great future; and Al, while a little inconsistent, is usually a real pleasure to have out there.
I hope they all come through for this game.
With the Bucks tired and Bogut-less, it might leave the door a little open for us.
Go Clippers!

All I gotta say is...BEAT THE BUCKS!

Thornton was the only starter (they were all extremely fatigued) who had a decent game the last time we played the Bucks. Hopefully Al can show us something similar to this tonight.

Each game is an opportunity to win and we have had our bright moments in this dark 12-game losing streak. We going to need Camby, Gordon, Thornton and Collins to really be on their game.

So what are the odds of Baron and Zach playing tonight. I read some where that they are possible.

We played and beat the Kings last night in regulation, 129-122. Just thought I'd drop by and say that since it says we beat the Warriors in OT, though with that final score it sure seems like an OT victory!

Good luck tonight. You guys have lost 12 straight but still have more than enough talent to pull out the win(Camby, Gordon, Thornton and Ricky Davis).

Skinner with 6 quick points

Post #13 » by **thanumba2clippersfan** » Sun Jan 18, 2009 3:53 am

This has to be our best start this season. We're shooting 9-11 and are up 20-19. 5 minutes to go in the first

Post #14 » by **mkwest** » Sun Jan 18, 2009 3:56 am

Skinner 4 of 4 from the floor for 8 early points.

Why do we keep turning the ball over

TheNewEra · Post #16 » by **TheNewEra** » Sun Jan 18, 2009 4:01 am

Eg a little sloppy on both ends.

Bucks go 4-4 from 3 in that quarter. We play pretty well offensively but we're up only by 2 at the end of one because of the turn overs

32-30 Clips after 1. Both teams have started off the game shooting very well. It would have been nice to carryover a 5-point lead but Jefferson knocked down a 3 just before time expired. Skinner, Camby & Thornton all have 8 points for us. Skinner has been getting some nice looks right around the basket and is actually making them. Thornton is continuing the little hot streak that he is on and has looked good. Hopefully he can keep it up.
