Very nice recap...Al rarely goes inside out, dont know why either. can he see over the defenders? or when he gets the rock he's gotta get it to the rack? Wonder how much info McHale is putting at Love in practice, he has games where he is thinking too much or something. Timberwolves look much better with the addition of a pg and a sf.

Clips fan here.

Congrats. I'm jealous of you guys. You have up and coming talent, you're healthy, and most importantly, you're winning. We just have a bunch of injuries(to our best players nonetheless), the worst coach in the league, and we're losing. At times, it's too depressing for words

Don't be depressed, it could be a blessing. For all you know, you might end up with the #1 pick PLUS a contending roster next year PLUS our pick(If we finish out of the top 10)

Al Thorton, Eric Gordon, and DeAndre Jordan(That rhymes) is a great core that you can build around.(Jordan does need time to learn the game, though)

Does anyone have that Rider rejection on Patrick Ewing? I missed it when they showed it.

Good to see the team win a sloppy game on the road when they should. These are steps that have to take place. In the past, this game was a loss. All I'm looking for right now is consistently winning games that they should, and they've done that the last 15 games or so.

I think the most impressive part of this team right now is the fact that they are playing well on the road. Winning at home will become easier as the team wins more and gains more fans and excitement. But being able to go on the road and win 5 of their last 6 road games is impressive for a young team and makes me feel like there is definitely potential for great things from this team in the future.

One of the things I like about Gomes isn't that he scores a lot, but he seems to be the guy that always scores when we need a bucket to stop a run. He's got a ton of poise.
