Should be a pretty exciting game to watch. Even though I haven't been too interested in recent games I usually watch the LA matchup.

Should be a close game since you got Brand back, and maybe Magg.. I think Brand would have a huge game, and would kill us inside. In the end Lakers by 11

Like always I love this matchup. And it's actually on national TV this time, so I can watch it

I'm just looking for a competitive game, this is our last home game of the season so let's give the Clipper fans something to cheer for.

Even though I want us to lose in order to get a better pick in the draft(i.e. Mayo, Gordon or Bayless), I refuse to support a Laker reg season sweep.

Go Clips! :clap:

(welcome back EB)

DOWN WITH THE FAKIES!

grrr... They made us miss the first 4-5 minutes. Apparently Brand was tearing it up.

Maggette pushed for a return but is sitting out again tonight.

Thornton just abusing radman :clap:

That the first dunk by Brand this season?

Damn, Thornton is playin' for the national audience, ain't he? And I love that the Czar explained the injury situation for the Clips. Educate them ignorant fans, baby.

Niiice feed from Al to EB for the slam!

EB looks so poised out there.

306 games lost due to injury. :nonono:

Clippers trail 27-25 at the end of 1. We had a nice start that wasn't televised and pulled ahead 16-8. Lakers were able to get back into this game by going on an 11-2 run. EB is on pace for 60 :wink:

Nah but has 15 points on 6-12 shooting. Thornton has had a nice start he's 3-3 from the field. He's been struggling for the past few games so hopefully he continues to play well and possibly go off tonight. Let's go Clips! :clap:

^ I know that's a recipe for disaster :cry:

Thornton played great the last time the Clips were on National TV. He must really want to prove what he can do to everyone. ^^

Thornton should have been headed to the line.

We're playing some nice ball out there, this game is fun to watch...so far so good. I'm surprised Maggs isn't playing though. He's always good to go for games like this.
