Strong start by EJ.
Would be nice to see the guys win one, but I have to turn in --- things to do tomorrrow morning. Have to rely on the tape, as with most west coast games.
Hope others on the board can cheer them on to a W.

I never would have thought that we would be up around 30 at any point in this game.

They've won the previous 3 so I expected them to be playing a lot better than they are now despite their record. That's sad that almost 20% of their wins this season have come against the Clippers.

Skinner(17) on his way to a career-high :jawdrop:

Who is this Brian Skinner this half

Clippers ahead 58-32 at the half. The Kings announcers have given us a lot of compliments. They love Gordon and feel he can be a star player in this league. Of course the comparison to Mitch Richmond was brought up. They also have given props to Taylor and his quick athletic moves. "Mike Taylor is so fast that he can turn the light switch off in his bedroom and hop in bed before it gets dark."

The man that they said was playing like a 5-time all-star, Brian Skinner, has 17 points, 7 rebounds and 3 blocks in 19 minutes of play. His career high is 23 points, so if he continues to pound it in the paint, he should have a new one. Gordon has 14 points, 4 assists, 3 rebounds and a steal while shooting 5 of 7 from the field.

We need to stop taking so many jumpers, we're just lucky that the Kings aren't making anything

It's good to see DeAndre in and that his injury wasn't too bad.
