Key's To The Game:
1) Play for 48. We can not have another letdown tonight as we the Kings are a team we should beat.
2) Control the boards. Second chance points have killed us this year, luckily the Kings don't have an undersized player who attacks the rim, but wait, they do have an energetic Mikki Moore.
3) Keep giving Po more playing time. Eric Gordon played well against Dallas, get him on the court

Prediction: Clippers win 101-89

I didn't see anyone doing this game in this thread so if someone was going to do it, then my bad.

Thank you Q and it's all good.

I like our chances with Martin out and Sacramento playing the 2nd night of a b2b. Thomas may play this game, but Dunleavy thinks it'll probably be Saturday. Regardless, he'll probably have reduced minutes, which means that there's a greater chance that Gordon could see some decent playing time once again. This is a game that we have a good opportunity to win, so hopefully we're the hungrier team for the whole game.

Hawes looked pretty good to me the last time we played, and his numbers are pretty impressive this season. I'm looking forward to seeing him and Thompson play.

Let's Go Clippers!

Our chances are good with Martin out. It will be nice to have a little win streak going. I hope Thompson plays well. He was a good pickup in the fantasy league.

I'll end up missing the first half with my stupid night class. :/

Hopefully Kaman uses all this trade talk as motivation and puts up huge #'s tonight. Also, EJ needs to play major minutes in this game since we all know what he did to them in the preseason.

Go Clippers!

[TheNewEra]

Should be a solid game the Kings are starting to build confidence we need to go in the game and kill all of it. As much as I would be happy with a win we need to blow them out. They had a strong game against the Piston and are going to come into this game with their heads high and chests out. Cruch their spirits fast and don't led up.

Key to Winning:
-Limit Turnovers
-make easy shots
-Keep the ball moving

One of those games we have to have or no playoffs !!

One of those games we have to have or no playoffs !!

I think so too. With our 0-6 start to work off of, not only do we have to win the games that we're supposed to win (like tonight), but we also gotta win games that we're not supposed to win-- like on the road against teams like Utah, New Orleans, etc. I think the guys will pull it off easy tonight though.

Sacramento is hot coming into this game but based on the way the Clips played against Dallas I see the Clips winning this one tonight (although I think it will be a tight game). Clips have to win home games against weak teams like Sacto if they want to ensure they are not out of the playoff race by the all-star break.

[thanumba2clippersfan]

Is Jason Thompson really starting at SF?

Anyways I hope that we do win tonight and I have noticed that the Kings are playing much better than how they started the season. But if we play more like we did against Dallas then I think we should be fine. Having Kevin Martin out also helps us out. We just need to play smart and efficient on offense.

[JJ LoDuca]

Hm, according to Clippers Live, Tim Thomas is good to go and is expected to play tonight.

[PlinkingPanda]

I'm skipping class tonight >.>

Let's hope Timmy really isn't as big of a cancer as you guys say.. This game should be ours.

[thanumba2clippersfan]

This sucks, the stream to the game isn't working for me

[mkwest]

Rough start for the Clips. Kings on a 7-0 run and lead 15-8.

[thanumba2clippersfan]

Not a very impressive start

[GuyverX]

They are playing like crap right now.

[thanumba2clippersfan]

Yup everything is cool now
