I'm loving our hustle and defense
I've been an LA Clipper fan since 1998 and that will never change. I hate our new logo and jerseys!

I mentioned this earlier the team that started our losing streak is the team that ends it, the Bucks. All of our starters in double figures, Ricky was great off the bench, Skinner was outstanding, we were hustling and diving for lose balls. Only bad thing is that Camby went down but wins are hard to come by. Hopefully we get healthier and start stringing some wins together. We finally shot over 50% in a game.

9-30 baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NIce, we finally get a win. And hopefully this is the start of a new, productive RIcky, because we really need him to be productive. I'd be happy with this sort of production from him for the rest of the season.

Any Clipper fan in the world knew this was probably the most important game of the season just the way everything turned down hill after the Bucks loss made this epic. Whre do we go from here is a different stroy but for tonight Clipper Nation has something to smile aout.

I love what Thorton said before the game to Mike "No excuses we just have to play hard and win" Hope that attitude runs for the rest of the season no more excuse let's just find a way to win.

Clippers finally pull out a game. The team played well on both ends of the floor and we shot 55% from the field. Everybody (maybe not Jones) had a productive game on one side of the ball or the other. 6 players in double figures and we held onto the lead despite losing Camby.

SIR (Sticky Icky Ricky) Davis actually had a pretty good game off the bench. I'm hoping that he can keep that up. Gordon had a poor shooting night, but did hit a couple of big 3's and made and impact on the defensive end. Thornton didn't really score much after putting up 8 in the first, but he did a little of everything else (8 rebounds, 5 assists, 4 blocks and only 1 turnover). Collins had a very good game and has been playing well lately. Milph talking about the coaches wanting him to take shots in his range was a great thing to hear. He's a player that I like for what he does well, but I would get annoyed when he would take bad shots. He looks like he is figuring out his stronger points on the offensive end, because he's very solid running the point and playing D. Camby was having a good game, and I just hope that he will not be out too long. He will have an MRI tomorrow (I'm assuming). It didn't look good, but he was able to walk on it so hopefully that's a good sign.

Novak and Jordan even had a few nice plays each.

All the guys played hard and really earned this one tonight. It was a nice little pre-birthday present to me. Hopefully the guys can give me a post-birthday present on Monday as well. :D

How wonderful to have a Clippers win and to break that stubborn streak!
I just love how many guys made a real contribution in this game.
I think that this period when so many people have been out injured gave some of the other guys enough minutes to work out some of their problems and start playing well, and on the same page.
I'm concerned about my guy, Camby. What would we do without him at this point? I'm looking forward to Monday's game, and hope he will be well, and able to play.

I'm just glad that this is the first game thread that I've done and we won. Collins, Skinner, and Thornton had great all around games last night. I just wanted to add that. No one really mentioned how Al had 5 assists and 4 blocks and that Collins had 11 assists and 4 steals. Everything was aligned right for us to win last night except Camby going down.

WTF? We won? We won? We won?

History in the making, coincidentally before right before Obama's inauguration(another history in the making).

Camby might be out a couple games at the most. If it's only a ankle twist, he might even be back for the MIN game, I HOPE.

I'm really hoping for that too. I'll be at the game tomorrow, my first one of the season, and I wanna see me some Camby, not to mention another W!

I didn't see ZBo on the bench the other night. Anybody know his status? When's he supposed to be back?
