I think this will be a really close game if we still have our guys out (maybe even if we don't), Clips always show up to play against us.

So DA and Crowder have officially cleared or are we just assuming?

Well, that should mean we have them all back for our road trip when it starts in Canada on the 11th. Hopefully.

No surprise DA and Crowder are sitting.... another game to get Smack and Smith some good quality minutes. Keep all cylinders firing. We should stomp on these guys. That’s a rag tag bunch. Statement time.

This won’t be an easy game. Clippers have been playing solid ball lately.

I really hope this doesn’t go like the Celtics game. Similar to coming into the Celtics game, the Suns had a few really good shooting games in a row. Their bound to have a really crappy one.

Booker in particular has been very hot and he usually has a 5-28 game in there sometimes.

This is the first national TV game since the humiliation on Christmas Day. Really hope the players remember that and use it for some added motivation.

Christmas wasn't a humiliation...it was a game of runs and they got hot late

Definitely humiliation…lost at home against Curry, Green and bunch of G leaguers in a hyped up game in which the team did not play hard.

Yeah, definitely not. That team has depth and are the best team in the NBA along with one of the best players. We won't win them all. Otto Porter is good. Gary Payton II is good. Otto Porter got hot late. Sometimes that happens for us. We have pulled out a lot more close games than we've lost. That's for sure. We are bound to lose a few. Especially to tough teams with elite players.

About as poor a start as you can get. Cold shooting and nobody can rebound

Booker is ice cold tonight so far and that doesn't bode well for us. Ibaka is also a size problem and is way too big a load for Smith to manage. Time to put in Biyombo and make it a little more even inside.

Ibaka has always been one of my favorite NBA players.
