Game 44: Los Angeles (10-33) VS Portland (26-17)

Al with a nice bucket at the end but Rudy had to hit that 3. Good luck in the fourth Clippers I'm going to sleep. Don't disappoint me Clippers

[mkwest]

Fernandez with a 3 at the buzzer to end the 3rd. You could tell that was going in. Clippers down 77-73. I'm glad to see that we are still in this game because of who we are and who they are. At the same time, we have had opportunities to be winning this game. I'm sure Blazers are feeling the same about not being up by more. It's still anybody's game, but one team has got to out-hunger the other in the 4th.

Goodnight #2.

Boy, that escalated quickly.

[mkwest]

Goodnight Clippers. Portland on a 12-0 run. Blazers up 86-73

[mkwest]

Mardy Collins will miss our 7-game road trip.

[mkwest]

Dunleavy with another Technical.

this turned out ugly in the 4th quarter...i'm hoping for baron davis and camby to play on wednesday!

[mkwest]

Clippers get thumped in the 4th quarter 36-15. Novak (the only scorer off of the bench) put up a career high 21 points.

Baron is set to return on Wednesday. Camby within a week. I'm on unsure of Z-Bo's return. I'm really disappointed that Mardy is going to be out an extended period of time.

i missed the zach randolph interview, can anyone recall anything he said about his return?

Is there a possibility camby will play on wed? he's been listed questionable the past two games..

I was at this game, so I missed those nice tidbits about dudes finally make it back from injuries. There isn't much to say about the game (hence the weak thread?)...that 3 at the buzzer by Fernandez going into the 4th and the run that followed buried us. We just don't have enough right now, at no fault of those who are out there competing. Sad news to hear that Mardy won't be on the trip! He must have a bad case of Baronitis.

Speaking of, I'll believe it when I see it, as far as his return goes. Unfortunately I'll miss Wednesday's game, so I probably won't believe it until Friday.

Bleh.. It's a bit hard to want to watch these games now. Having players drop left and right, all these losses, and my laziness don't mix well.

Looks like I did wake up disappointed. Now for the news that you've all been waiting for. My aunt has Wizards season tickets (since she lives in DC). She knows that I'm such a huge Clipper fan so she gave me her tickets for the Clippers and Wizards on Saturday. This will be my first true Clipper road game. I went to go see a Laker/Clipper game with the Lakers as the home team a few years ago. I'm very excited and hopefully I'll get on TV. Since I have an afro I might get on TV anyways

I didn't get to watch the game until seeing the tape this morning.
It's amazing to me that these few Clippers, tired as they must be and missing the big names, can match up so well against a healthy Portland for three quarters. It's no wonder to me that they lose steam in the fourth.
I hope the vets start coming back to play next game, and integrate well into the play.
Hey, numba2clippersfan, congratulations for scoring these tickets from your aunt --- very thoughtful of her! Hope you enjoy the game enormously. We can watch for your afro on our TV screens.

Didn't have a chance to post last night, but the Fernandez 3 before the end of the 3rd quarter really killed it for us. Honestly though, with such a short bench I'm surprised our players have energy to do anything in the 4th quarter. It was a entertaining game until the 4th quarter.

Play of the Game: Eric Gordon burns past LaMarcus Aldridge for a sick dunk. I totally thought he was going to lay it up and get blocked.

And I totally thought it would be on SportsCenter's top 10 plays, like AL's dunk a few games back, but naw. No such luck. Brandon Roy's was though. It ain't right!
