VS

Time: 7:30
TV: FSN Prime Ticket
Radio: AM 710 ESPN

Starting for our Clippers (what's left of our starters anyways)

The Reserves

Starting for the Thunder (once the Super Sonics)

The Reserves

Injured Clippers
Marcus Camby (sprained left ankle) is questionable.
Baron Davis (bruised tailbone), Zach Randolph (bruised left knee), Mike Taylor (fractured right thumb), and Chris Kaman (Strained left arch) are out.

Injured Thunder
Mickael Gelabale (torn ACL, right knee), Mouhamed Sene (torn meniscus, right knee), Robert Swift (torn meniscus, right knee), and Chris Wilcox (dislocated right little finger) are out.

I hope that we can pull out a victory tonight. The Thunder's three young studs have been doing a great job for them and we will need another monster effort from DeAndre. We need to play hard and play efficiently offensively.

^ You put Mardy Collins starting at PG and SG. I hope Eric Gordon can play tonight. Are we really that beat up? lol.

I never realized how much Eric Gordon and Mardy Collins look alike :wink:

I would love for the Cambyman to return tonight. He participated in practice yesterday and I think he was without pain, or at the very least he was not limited. We're 3-0 (2-0 regular season) against OKC so far so hopefully we can extend the streak tonight.

I found out today at work that the father of one of my co-workers is DeAndre Jordan's agent. I asked him to pass along the message that DeAndre should work on moving his feet on defense and he should definitely grow back the flat top. He said that DJ mentioned the flat top and is planning to start growing it back, so look out for that.

Tonight is the night I put my newly won courtside seats to work, it would be a real treat to have Marcus Camby back for that. To see him listed as "questionable" is at least a little encouraging.

Problem fixed, sorry about that. When I previewed it everything seemed fine.

I've been a bit inactive on the forums lately.. I'll probably watch this game.

Go team!

Good to hear Fishy.

The saga continues...Brian Skinner out with the flu. We will only have Jordan and Samb for bigs. Please stay out of foul trouble DJ.

Gordon is second in the league in minutes played per game (41.5mpg) since December 15th. Kevin Durant is first.

Gordon called for a foul after getting all ball on Westbrook.

Durant bumps into the back of Thornton and slams it with authority. Gordon follows that up with a 3-ball. Clippers up 5 with 5:40 to go in the 1st.

I just heard that we are going to be with out Mardy Collins for the rest of the game.

No Mardy and Brian to join in with Marcus, Baron, Chris, Zach, Mike and Jason. *Sigh*. I'm surpried were still in this game.

All of these injuries are beyond ridiculous. If I didn't watch every game, I wouldn't believe it.

Blarg, Anyone happen to have a stream link? >.>; I guess I'm stuck with boxscores for now.

Go Clips!

Post #16 » by **mkwest** » Sat Jan 24, 2009 4:05 am

Eric picks up his 2nd.

Post #17 » by **mkwest** » Sat Jan 24, 2009 4:10 am

29-25 Thunder at the end of 1. OKC closes the quarter off on 12-1 run.

Im guessing no Camby tonight...

Are you good Fishy?

Just stopped in to see what's happening --- it it possible that Skinner is out sick and Collins has been injured in this game?
This gets more and more like a cartoon --- before long, Samb will be out there on his own as a one-man Clippers roster.
I hope JJ is having a good time anyway.
