Clippers Manifesto

1. Hit the boards and outrebound the Wolves frontline.
2. Al Jeff and Gomes must be render ineffective for the Wolves offense. Camby and Thornton have to step it up defensively.
3. Clips backcourt need to amp up their aggression and slash to the post and draw some fouls. Do not force up bad shots.
4. Watch out for the Wolves best 3% shooters Pavlovic and Gomes. Don't leave them open.
5. Flynn has to be press to earn his shots. Do not let him have an easy day on the court.

C'mon .400!!

we better win!

Isn't Gordon supposed to be back for this one?

Still, with or without him, this one should be a W for the Clips.
Though, after all we've seen this year, we'll probably have a hard time against them as well...

Flynn has been on a bit of a slump as of late, and I would expect EJ to have a bit of rust on him if he comes back. Hopefully he at least worked on his free throws during that time off.

I'd like to think this'll be an easy win, but~ yeah.. This season so far should explain why it most likely won't be.

I am not sure why the Clips don't have a "KILLER INSTINCT." No, I know why. Dunleavy is terrible at letting the players dictate the game; his substitutions usually screw up the ebb & flow.
I have stated and I will repeat, Dunleavy needs to go.
I am still a little miffed that after 7 years of fan support, we finally turn and he cries.
It is the fans and season tix holders who are loosing games b/c we are not supportive enough according to Mike.
Wake up Dunleavy, grab your unemployment check and hopefully you get the heck out of Clipper land. Maybe you can go to Laker Land and screw them up (I would LOVE that)

I had no idea that the Twolves were 1-11 we better win this one, there's no excuse if we lose.

As a side note I'm going to try to go to this game since I won't be back in SoCal until after December. I'll let everyone know if I attend to game or not.

I heard that EJ practiced yesterday, hope he'll be back tonight, at least for limited minutes. I just hope the team doesn't bring a lackadaisical attitude for this one-- we're not gonna win if we don't play hard. Like Fishy--errr Panda-- said, the season so far is evidence enough as to why this one might be tough. Hoping for the best though, and I can't wait to see Ralph & Mike back in action tonight!

Should win, must win.

I will be at Staples tonight, I hope to see EJ back in action

Gordon is back practicing with the team as JJ said, but he has ruled himself out for tonight's game. He will likely make his return on Wednesday in his hometown against the Pacers.

DeAndre Jordan may miss a few games after spraining his ankle yesterday's practice.

Well, the Twolves are the one team to be playing when we are going to be short several key guys.
Hope it goes well for the Clippers.
Enjoy the game close up, numba2fan.

DJ hurt! When will this team be completely healthy???

I was at the game the first time we played minny. They are a scrappy team so this is not an easy game.

I hope the T-Wolves keep up this record for the next three years, and we could be in for a nice gift once the 2012 draft comes around.

According to the Clippers Live guys, Eric Gordon is active tonight, will be in uniform, but he'll be a coach's decision off the bench. My guess is, if we find ourselves in a deficit we might see him. Otherwise, he'll be on the court Wednesday.

I'm assuming some of that is because DJ, Rush & BG are all on the inactive list. I'd love to see him play tonight if he is good to go though. I just don't want to see him rushing back too soon.

Butler is back in the starting lineup.

Some bad, bad, bad looking possessions to start the game. Dunleavy calls a timeout 2 mins in....7-0 Minny

Clippers start down 7, but answer back with 8 straight.

Uh oh. Pecherov is in.
