Clippers Manifesto

1. Come out the gates with energy.
2. The Heat are a tough rebounding bunch. The Clips have to win the battle of the boards in order to keep their winning chances on their side.
3. Take smart shots and slash to the post to draw fouls. ( Make FTs count)
4. Be aggressive on the defensive end. Isolate the Heat from Wade. Make him take the Heat's scoring load. Force the others into a bad shooting night.

Heat Starters

Its gonna be very interesting to see how Gordon does against one of the leagues best, Dwayne Wade. I hope we get our first 4 game streak of the season.

Very important game for the Clips. It's a test to show where we truly stand and if the Clippers can build on their recent victories. Baron will have to be on his game with Bassy being doubtful due to a sore right groin.

We have the players capable of dominating the boards in this game.
I hope they are feeling the energy and passion and drive to bring the W about.

I'm gonna be there rooting for the Clippers! Let's hope we go on a 4 win streak

Hopefully the Clips will play well in the game. The Heat will be coming in with a confident win over the Suns from the other night. A four game win streak will definately hlp in the Clips favor into the new year.

Oh jeez, I almost forgot about this game! Playoff football can be so distracting. I just hope the Clippers don't get a big head after that win against the lakers....gotta come out strong, and keep the pressure on 'em. Go Clips!

Gordon has been earning his paycheck lately: Roy, Bryant, and Wade. The league's three top shooting guards in back to back to back games.

The Pats are losing pretty bad. I had them to win, but it would be tough. The Ravens ain't playing around on defense. Sending blitz packages @ Tom Brady left and right.

This game is too early. I didn't want to get out of bed until later.

Love the tempo of this game. Baron is taking control of the pace of the game, something we never could have imagined happening under Dunleavy,

But what I really liked so far is Kaman. Not necessarily his scoring punch so far, but his leadership (dare I say it?!). Gordon touch fouls D-Wade and gets real frustrated with the call. Who's the first person to go straight to him and calm him down with some advice? Kaman! I'm thoroughly impressed.

grrr. anyone got a stream? Nothing is up atm.

OH MY GOD RASUAL! So close to posterizing Haslem.

Goooo lazy people!

and um.. Clippers too.

Love the franetic pace. 8 fast break points so far.

Looks like we're off to a solid start. Too bad there aren't any streams available so I have to deal with the boxscore

I see from the play by play that we're getting to the basket a lot. Got a nice little lead at the moment, but let's hope we stay aggressive throughout the game.

Nice fakeout by Gordon to draw the foul on Beasley.

Yes, most points are coming from inside, since we have the size advantage.

Gordon just drew a 2nd foul on Beasley to end the first. Veteran play from a young guy.

30-20 end of 1. Love the pace, and D-Wade was nowhere to be found (knock on wood).
