LMAO @ the 10M per year reserve wearing #50

It'll be great to have Randolph and Camby back. Now for the real question-- when the HELL is Kaveman coming back?

I've read(Yahoo Fantasy) that he'll miss at least another week. So, we'll see...

And yeah, it would be nice to have Zach and Camby back, cause DJ alone won't get it done, especially if we're only having guards on the bench.

I didn't realize that Kaman had plantar fasciitis --- that explains a lot.
If the usual treatments don't work --- as they sometimes don't, especially with pro athletes who of necessity really abuse their feet --- the pain can last more than a year and be really debilitating.
Before this I've just been seeing references to him having a "sore foot" or a "strained left arch" which made it really mystifying to me that he was out so long. But if it's plantar fasciitis and he comes back now, he may be playing well below 100 per cent for the rest of the season.
There are some new high tech treatments that seem to have decent results, but they are not available everywhere.
I hope all goes well for Kaman, and he recovers fully as soon as possible.

SJAX vs Z-BO? I smell a fight... or a stabbing.

[ClipperEric]

Can we leave Baron there after the game? I'd rather see us come back with Crawford or even Maggette.

[Jcrawford11]

crawford and baron would be most fun to watch backcourt in the nba

Not half as funny as that $13 million per season a** clown that wears # 1 for our squad. At least Maggette appeared to be putting forth an honest effort about 50% of the time (albeit almost always exclusively at the offensive end).

[JJ LoDuca]

^ Oh jeez, there he goes...

[ClipperEric]

It was nice to see Mike Taylor back in uniform the other night. I would like to see him as the #2 PG in front of Fred Jones and Mardy Collins.

It would be nice to get all our guys back for the rest of the regular season so we can hopefully start to gel.

Mike Taylor can really switch up the tempo of the game which I like, but he's definitely not polished enough on the offensive end to make a difference there. If they're not on a fast break or in transition, it's tough for him to make his own scoring opportunities. Fred Jones is probably going to move to his natural spot at #2 SG, and Taylor backing up Baron and Mardy. I don't think he's going to succeed much in Dunleavy's system (just like Shaun Livingston). Taylor would fit in perfectly in Nellie's system, Phoenix or NY though.

Glad to have Zach and Camby back, hopefully we can get our first win within our division. It's pretty sad that we haven't won any at this point.

Fixed.

I would think DeAndre and Mike would play very well in Dantoni's system. They've both showed signs of playing well at times, but I agree that he(or DeAndre) will do that good with Dunleavy.

When the hell are we gonna get some KTLA games.

Go team!

[leaguegod692]

so any news on al ?

[J-Rich-]

LMAO @ the 10M per year reserve wearing #50

that's okay. he's producing like a starter for us with less minutes as a 6th man

[clipperfan4life]

so any news on al ?

al won't be playing today

[thanumba2clippersfan]

Al was the only player that had played every game and now he's out. What a season
