Here's Mike Taylor's practice dunk from a few nights ago. The NBA needs to invite this man to the 2010 dunk contest.


Eric Gordon moves up to number 4 for this week's Rookie Rankings

"This kid is the best new talent in the league right now, and I don't care who else you mention," Suns coach Alvin Gentry told the Los Angeles Times last week. Gordon backed up Gentry's claim, topping the 20-point plateau in all three games he played and going 8-for-8 to close out a win against the Warriors after starting the game 1-for-8.

Go Clips!!! That MIke Taylor dunk is sick!

[mj_shoefanatic]

I hope we can bounce back tonight

[PlinkingPanda]

Hopefully we do better tonight.

Nasty dunk by Taylor. Too bad he won't make the dunk contest next year since he's pretty much a nobody. Why hasn't anyone ever attempted a 180 or even a 360 under the leg? I'm sure someone in the NBA can manage to do a 720 too.. Hell we've yet to even see a 540.

I also saw Mike Taylor's dunk a few days ago.

We better put up a better effort than we did last night

This guy "been there done that"

[mkwest]

Hey Fishy, Dallas fans are feeling him now. It's funny how a lot of them were nonchalant about him and now their loving him. I'm happy that Jumpin' James is getting playing time and an opportunity to show that he can help out a playoff contender.

Is Jones out for this one?

[mkwest]

DJ, Mardy & Freddy Jones are out tonight. DJ is in uniform but won't play. I didn't catch why.

What did Fred injure?

Baron starts the game 4-4 from the field with 9 points. Clippers off to a 15-7 lead in the first 5 minutes.

[thanumba2clippersfan]

i like how we've started this game

[mkwest]

Mike Taylor!!!

[mkwest]

Clippers lead 29-17 at the end of 1. Clippers pushed the tempo and played aggressively. Baron had a great start and I hope that he can keep it up. Thornton has been active early, and Mike Taylor is moving at the speed of light. Definitely a noticeable difference from last night.

lol yeah I noticed their thread and I posted on there. I'm glad he's been doing well the last 4 games. His minutes are pretty inconsistent, but he's been producing well when he plays this year.

Yeah I've seen that a while back. It was more of a 540, but still pretty sweet.

Looks like we're playing a lot better tonight so far. Ackers getting some early minutes and hitting a 3.

[mkwest]

Bingo! Double-A with a triple, assist from Mike Taylor.

[mj_shoefanatic]

"1-man press" means serious business tonight

[mkwest]

DJ, Mardy & Freddy Jones are out tonight. DJ is in uniform but won't play. I didn't catch why.

What did Fred injure?

If I heard right somebody flew out to Indiana tonight to see their critically ill father and they don't know when that player will be back with the team. I'm assuming it was Freddy unless they were referring to Zach. I half heard it.

Zach is flying back to Indiana after the game.

Fred tweaked his back last night.

Haven't heard anything about Collins or Jordan.

Al blows a dunk.
