This game will be at 4:30 PM (PST) in case there was any confusion.

I'll probably miss some/half of the game, but hopefully I'll be able to catch most of the second half.

I have to listen to the Knicks announcers --- only version I can get. It's not too pleasant. They were talking about how they loved to watch the brilliant Baron with the Warriors, but he's a different player now with his dreary approach. They were vastly amused by Zach bricking the trey, recalling how many times he did the same at the Knicks.
But then, the whole first quarter hasn't been too pleasant.
Not nice to have them over 40 in one quarter and we're in the 20s. Reminds me to try to detach. But if you get too detached, why watch the game at all?

Baron isn't at his best so far.
I hope he gets his focus and enthusiasm going.

Sorry, clips 1386, I don't have a link.
I'm watching it on television. My tape has almost caught up thei the live action now.
I'm very grateful that our guys seem to have remembered how to contest shots in the second quarter.
You are right, clipperfan4life, Taylor is an ambidextrous firecracker out there. Great to watch him go off like that.
Gordon is also having a pretty good game.
Well, someone has to.

It's 66-65 with the Knicks up one at the half. We came back from being down 19 earlier in the game, to being up one with 1:33 to go in the half, and down only one going into the second half. It was a beautiful rally and run.
Zach's 16 points sure helped, but Mike Taylor was the spark that drove the comeback for sure. He has 17 points, including a pretty basket off the glass, and an assist. This guy is truly a walking Tommy point. I just love his hustle and energy.
Thornton's playing pretty well, and so is EJ.
Our team started the game looking pretty pathetic, and they have really pulled themselves together and outplayed the Knicks at the end of the half. Let's hope they can keep it upo throughtout the second half.
Go Clippers!

Clippers up 95-93 at the end of the third quarter. No, that is not a typo.
This is a hilariously entertaining game, with both teams running madly up and down and scoring all over the place. Very little D in evidence. Only occasionally.
Mike Taylor continues to be a driving force for our guys --- 23 points now, up from his previous career high of 15. Also 5 boards and 3 assists.
EJ looking good with 17 points, and Zach his own power with 21.
One of the Knicks announcers said, about the pace of the game: "It looks like all these guys rented the gym for an hour," And it does, and it is vastly fun.

I'm glad that Taylor is having a coming out party. I wish I could have seen the majority of the game.

Harrington is not the sharpest tool in the shed. He gets called for a technical for hanging on the rim.

Zach with the clutch free-throws. We will head to overtime.
