took long enough :lol:

So happy Baron is sitting early due to foul trouble. This allows F.Jones & Gordon to shine. :nod:

lol I don't take pride in being early :wink:

Gordon has got to make that shot. We're off to a 17-9 lead. Atlanta missed 11 of their first 12 shots, but have made their last couple.

27-17 Clippers at the end of one. Clippers are 50% from the field and have 8 assists on 10 baskets. Camby leads all scorers with 9.

Nice defensive stop by Smith (although he did get a little hand) and Williams finishes it strong on the other end.

Hawks with an offensive drought that Johnson just ended there. Clips up 44-27 with 5:06 left in the half.

The curse of the blue jerseys might be on reversal status tonight if we can replicate this performance in the 2nd half.

55-41 Clippers at the half. Al had a little extra motivation playing in front of his family and hometown crowd. You could see he was going to be more assertive tonight from the first minute of the game. With most of the guys healthy, we're looking like we should. Hopefully the team keeps up its strong play in the 2nd half.

I didn't notice it until Milph said that our starters have scored 53 of our 55 points. The backups did play solid minutes though. Jones has 3 rebounds & 4 assists. Jordan had a block and actually made a free-throw. They may not have been putting up the points, but the lack of scoring did not hurt us.

Not a good way to start out the second half, Hawks get the first 6 points
