I bet Hart will be a little extra motivated in this game. However, something is telling me that we'll have to rely on our starters plus Ricky D, EG, Mr. T and Paul D to be able to keep up with this Utah team :cry:

I just hope that this gamer turns out better than our first 2
I've been an LA Clipper fan since 1998 and that will never change. I hate our new logo and jerseys!

You guys are too harsh on Hart. :P I think he'll do a decent job. Like mj_shoe said. He has a little to prove in this game. So I'm sure he'll be a bit motivated to play well. Kaman needs to freakin step it up. Thornton and Timmy have been doing all the work for us.

I'm hoping that EJ will see more floor time tonight with Baron out. DJ will be on the active roster, but will he play a couple of minutes?

I've seen EJ used a lot of Eric Gordon, and to be honest, I still don't get why its EJ. Can someone fill me in?

Personally, I prefer "Po" since he looks like em.

I think all 3 of the rookies should get some decent PT tonight

That's his childhood nickname (Eric Jr.) because his dad is Eric Gordon Sr.

5:16 left in the first and Clippers lead 17-15.

Mobley and Thomas have 15 of our 17. Both are perfect from the field.

Haha...

We're off to a pretty good start. Game tied at 15-15. Price seems to be getting by Hart with some ease though. Mobley is playing great with a few layups.

Clippers lead 17-15 with 5:16 left on the first, time-out on the floor.

So far, the offensive side is going well, but the Jazz are getting lay-ups pretty damn easily. Mobley is doing a good job of getting lay-ins himself as he has 8 early points, I believe and Kaman needs to start making shots, besides that, he's doing well. We've lost 32 of our last 33 games in Utah, no Baron makes it tougher, but hey, stranger things have happened.

Ah ok, I always thought it had something to do with MJ due to Gordon wearing #23 and being from Illi[I think?]

He's from Indiana. He's not too welcomed in Illinois since he reneged on his verbal commitment to the Illini.

So happy Mr. T is in the game now. Hart is so frustrating to watch at times.

After the second media time-out, the Clippers extend the lead to 25-21 with 2:14 left. I'm liking the fact that we are attacking the rim, mainly Cat and T2 and Mike Taylor is such a change of pace from Jason Hart, as he is speedy quick and just went coast to coast for an easy lay-up, then got up and started playing full-court D. I can not wait until we get fully healthy and clicking, hopefully Thomas and Mobley keep it going when that happens.

Seriously. I wanna see this guy develop. Price seems to be driving by Hart too easily. Seems like a bad matchup.. I'm sure he'd do a better job covering old man Knight.
