Game Thread: Los Angeles Clippers @ Seattle Supersonics

Det the Threat · Post #1 » by **Det the Threat** » Wed Apr 2, 2008 4:12 pm

After losing yet another one on Sunday against the Sacramento Kings, the Sonics will try to rebound, when they face the injury riddled Los Angeles Clippers.

The Clippers had to play to whole season without all-star Elton Brand(who should return later this week) and point guard Shaun Livingston. They're now also missing center Chris Kaman, who played very well this season, but looks like he's done for the season.

Can we pound them on the glass, with them missing Brand and Kaman?

Although the Clippers are banged up so are the Sonics. I am curious to see if Green can contain Maggette.

Sonics have a shot at winning this one.

^I'm not so sure...I don't think this team is ever capable of winning a game so matter if the team is at full force, or injury plagued.

I was in Las Vegas over the past four days, and I spent one night actually watching the Sonics play the Kings in the Sportsbook section at The Venetian....what a waste of time! We were winning there for a bit, then it all just started unravelling.

I can't believe that of all the things I could have done in Vegas, I would have rather watched the Sonics...watching this team is depressing. You never know when they have it in them to win.

At this point it may just be better for us to lose (and I hardly EVER condone tanking) it doesn't make much sense to start winning a few games now..this season is a total crapper.

BTW...This game isn't on FSN...the Mariners are playing on there right now.

This one is NO TV.

Not a surprise...we lose 102-84.

Dang we can't even beat a beat up Clippers team? Durant had 30, Jeff had 17 and we still couldn't pull off a win?

Yikes. Yowza.

Brand came back and Jeff Green shot horribly..
