I'm hoping the guys put together another solid effort today-- finally I'm gonna make it to Staples to check em out so they better do me right. Skinner, Collins, Ricky D, Thornton and Gordon all need to do their thing today, and if Camby sits, add DeAndre Jordan to that list.

Go Clips!

My game preview. I'll probably do a preview and recap of every game, at least a recap of those I am able to watch.

Also, check out my other two entries on the Coach and Camby deserving an All-Star slot.

It sucks that we lost game in our last game. The Twolves have been playing better of late. Anything is possible and if we play hard we way come away with victory.

Have fun at the game, JJ. I'll be following it on my TV screen.
Camby seems to me to have been the glue that has kept things together recently, so I hope there is a chance he may be able to play today. But I don't want him to play if that will only make his injury worse.
At the very least this is a chance for our young guys to get more minutes and more experience. With any luck, its also an opportunity for another win. That's what I'm hoping for, at any rate.
Go Clippers!

I think it is ridiculous that Baron Davis and Randolph still aren't playing. It can't take that long to recover from bruises.

I agree, and now it seems Camby went from day to day to out an extended period of time. Do you guys think you are not playing some of these guys to tank???

[JJ LoDuca]

^ If it were up to Dunleavy, those players would be back and playing. He suspects it has something to do with the agents interfering, but some of us think it is a quiet coup forming against the coach.

Have fun at the game, JJ. I'll be following it on my TV screen.

Lucky, you get Ralph and Mike!

[JfKnicks126]

Whats the status on Jones. Has he signed another 10 day?

[Roscoe Sheed]

Perhaps the team is tanking. It is really hard to believe that these guys wouldn't be playing if they were in contention

[ClipperDomination]

^ Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if what JJ said was true about the players quietly turning against the coach.

And good job on the preview, ejftw. I'll try to check in as much as possible.

Anyone that can help me out with a livestream link would be greatly appreciated.

Hope we get another W regardless of our record.

^ Usually the fantasy league has links to it on the message board. And there's a free NBA League Pass trial this week.
