Slam's Key To Winning:
Execute well and beat them in the half court

DJ Vs B-Diddy. Going to need another big game from the rook for us to stand a chance

Will be very interested to to Vlad play tonight. Also, curious to see who doesn't play for us much or at all.

Barring foul trouble, I doubt Vlad sees a lot of action tonight. All the guys we traded for this season took a game or two to work into the rotation. Even when Diaw and Bell started, they didn't get a lot of run.

Clippers fan here... I have liked the bobcats for a couple of seasons and I thought they could maybe compete when Larry brown came in. Things will hopefully work out in the future.

I expect a good game tonight , but beware that LA has beat their last two opponents by 20+ points ( grizzlies and hawks on the road) . Do not let their record fool you , they have struggled to adopt to the coach's style of play and are just now starting to gel as a team. Having added 10 new players to the roster over the summer and already having early injury issues , this season is already a wash for them.

Baron Davis likes to run more and has not performed well under Mike Dunleavy's slower halfcourt offense. Zach Randolph is a Beast! Mr 20 & 10 draws the double team and then kicks out to the wide open perimeter player for a three . Al Thornton and Eric Gordon slash to the rim with ease and Marcus Camby collects the rebounds.

The Clipper bench has also come to life, Ricky Davis And Steve Novak have been hot as of late from three. Chris Kaman has been out since november and will come of the bench when he returns to play after the all star break.

????

Boris played 27 mins his 1st game and 40 mins his 2nd game and Rajo played 25 and 38.

I was wondering if someone was actually going to look up the stats. 2nd game doesn't surprise me. I don't think they were in in crunch time. I should've said that in the first place.

My bad, I'm busted. Should've done my homework.

So who gets to cover Baron and who covers Gordon?

I have a feeling we're going to get smoked by the guards tonight.

It really will be a pick your poison type thing. Biggest worry for me is that they are both strong guys who drive really well and get to the line. If both Felts and DJ get into foul trouble we are screwed.

So some of you were wondering what or if Steve Martin said anything regarding Felton trade rumors and his future with this team. If you can some how watch the pregame show again, I guarantee you will hear it, but this is basically what he said...

Raymond Felton's name has come up in many trade rumors and I think it is fair to say those rumors are dead and he has established himself as the pg of the future for this team.

Zach Randolph is playing very well. I don't know if "beast" is the term I would use, but yes, he is a very good scorer.

Juwan Howard is out tonight with his bothersome toe. Me thinks that Radman will see a lot of court tonight with no Crash, Raja or Howard.

Interviewing Vlad on SSouth. Im surprised he doesn't have a very heavy accent. He almost could be mistaken as being from the south if his name wasnt Vladimir Radmanovic.

Gordon will cover Augustin as he usually guards the opponent's PG or fastest guy, I'm excited to see this matchup. Baron will matchup with Felton. Another key matchup will be Thornton/Diaw. Should be a good game. Good luck y'all.
