Clippers @ Timberwolves 12/6/08 Game Thread 

Post#1 » by kandiking » Sat Dec 6, 2008 6:19 pm

If there's any silver lining in last night's drubbing, We sucked so much that ESPN had to write a piece on us...

My prediction for starting lineups
Minnesota 4-14 (Home: 2-6)
ImageImageImageImageImage

LA Clippers 3-16 (Road: 1-7)
ImageImageImageImageImage

TV: FSN West, KSTC 45
Time 7 Central, 5 West

Big Al kinda looks like Bill Cosby in that picture...


Anyways, I am just looking for atleast a close game and no Cardinal tonight.

I think you made a mistake. I fixed it for you.

Hopefully this is Wittman's last game.

I still like Foye at shooting guard because I think it changes his mindset to be more aggressive and he doesn't feel the need to get everyone involved, but still dishes when they have a better shot than him. When he is playing point he gives up the ball to early and passes up good shots. I want them to play him like Wade where he can dominate the ball but be in an aggressive mindset.

The Clippers are a better team than their record indicates. They have been more competetive vs all the western conference playoff teams and most games have gone down to the wire. I do not understand however, why they play so poorly against the non play off teams.

Chris Kaman and Rickey Davis are not playing tonight so the bench will be thin.
Z-Bo has played 4 games with LA and has scored 27,27,23 and 21 while rebounding 13,13,11,10.
It seems that there are issues between the team and coach or maybe its just Baron Davis.

If the Clippes show up to play , Then the Wolves will get beat hands down. If they dont then U guys will beat our ass. Good luck
You are either doing or not doing .

Al has a chance to show he's not Zach Randolph

Well they'll probably have Camby defending Al, while we have ??? defending ZBo.

I've never said this about a previous coach, but I'd really like this to be Wittman's last game.

I DEFINITELY want Witt fired as well, but who would we hire? Sam Mitchell? How was he as a coach in Toronto? I didn't watch many Raptors games, so I haven't really seen his style much.

Clipper fans shouldn't worry. If however they do end up losing to us, then they should worry and worry hard.

I think so. I found a recipe but so far my oven doesn't work but I think I'll get it heated in a few minutes.
