Michael Biyombo, I mean MKG can apparently only score off of dunks these days. I don't blame the coaching either like some do, if you are open you shoot. Clifford has never instructed him not to shoot if someone is not within 4 nautical miles of you.

Clippers took it right at him in the last few plays and he defended well.

They should have made some of those, they weren't difficult shots.

come on, give him this one, he defended the last few plays reasonably well.

not saying he has turned the corner or anything, he just deserves full props for this game as he was the reason we won

Seems like a game I need to watch sometime (along with the Golden State game back in December). Anybody got a place where I can watch old games?

MVP: Big Al Jefferson was not only the Bobcats' leader in points and rebounds with 24 and 10, respectively, but he was also their rock. Whenever Charlotte needed a basket to keep the Clippers at bay, Al delivered -- even with DeAndre Jordan draped all over him.

X factor: The Clippers' early mistakes. They turned it over five times in the first quarter, totaling 14 fumbles and 14 points allowed off turnovers; the Clippers scored just nine off Bobcats turnovers. Eliminate that five-point difference and L.A. wins by one.

Defining moment: In the final 60 seconds, the Clippers had three possessions to deliver. They faltered, going 1-for-5. Where the Bobcats prospered without Kemba Walker, the Clippers sorely missed their floor leader and crunch-time aficionado, Chris Paul.

NBA League Pass is free until Jan. 26th I think. Unless I'm mistaken, you can watch replays of games there.

Amazing game. I think after the win on the Clippers, we can announce that we aren't go to tank, we shot to playoffs. In this momentum, I don't know how we'll see when Kemba will back.

Sessions could start on quiet a few teams in the NBA right now. Im surprised, but not that surprised.

Sessions might be a top 20 PG if that's an accomplishment. He's no slouch. That's why I'm surprised no team has thrown us a offer we couldn't refuse for him by now considering all of the PG injuries and lack of decent backup PGs.

wow. man, you sure do contradict yourself quite often.

I remember you recently saying something along the lines of Sessions being worse than Gordon last season. Not to mention your routine game thread posts about "Sessions and the bench" (notice the emphasis put on Ramon) being the reason for our losses.

Find me this Sessions worst than Gordon last season quotable. You was wrong the last time trying to bend the truth and you'll be wrong again. I appreciate the fact that you pay close attention to my posts tho. There's a difference between a rant and a contradiction. Do I think our team go to sh*t when Sessions replace Kemba with the 2nd unit? Yes I do but that don't mean that I think he's a bad player. Do I think we would be better off investing money in another position besides backup PG and wouldn't mind trading Sessions? Yes I do. My comments on Sessions has always been consistent that I think he's one of the best backup PGs in the league but his "passing is for starters" attitude with us is for the birds. That's always been my stance.

I'm not bending the truth. Neither this time or the last one.

Thanks for getting my competitive juices flowing and making me track this post down.

It's hard for me to know that you're getting that message across when your posts constantly are about "Sessions and the bench" blowing our leads. Being a top20 point guard is quite the compliment for a player who keeps losing us games or is worse than Ben Gordon last season. I would call that contradicting yourself.

As I expected. You're taking from a rant in a game thread where Sessions played miserable. I hate the way Sessions play for us off the bench. I've seen him play a totally different way in Milwaukee and his short time in LA. I still want Sessions off our team but that don't mean that I don't think he "might be a top 20 PG if that's an accomplisment". You read too deep into my comments. If I felt a certain way about Sessions directly where it wasn't a rant it would be in his very own thread and not a game thread. I've even said things about MKG and Kemba in the moment based on play between games but that don't mean much.

Then I must say that you rant too much. When a player's playing well you overrate him, when he's not you blast him.

I might do rant too much, I agree, especially when we're losing in a frustrating way. I'm a passionate fan. It's a love/hate relationship. IMO though I don't think I overrate our players but I'm quick to blast them after a number of mistakes. I used to blast Jefferson but now that he's healthy and scoring like I expected I've come down on him. Zeller still is trash to me and I'm waiting on him to turn the corner to respectability. MKG is my favorite player on the team and he's starting to piss me off because I can't defend him when he's so passive on offense. It is what it is.
