Star of the Game 11/07 VS Grizzlies

[mkwest]

Clippers win a close one against the Grizzlies. Who do you guys have tonight?

[PlinkingPanda]

Some good production across the board, but I think I'm choosing Craig for tonight. Solid effort off the bench.

[mike3]

Not for this game, but for the whole start of this season, Kaman for being so consistant and producing great numbers

[mkwest]

I went with Rhino as well. Everything was going his way tonight. They did a feature on him before the game, he hit his first 3 in his NBA career, and he pretty much scored at will. I do like the fact that he said that if it was up to him that he would never leave. It's obviously too early to think about next year's free-agency, but we do know that if we do keep him that our back up 4 is more than solid. We always got abused by players like him, so it's good to finally have one on our side.

I want to see him in the All-Star game, so he needs keep up a high level of play. The only center playing better than him right now is Dwight.

I only caught the 4th quarter, but Baron stayed composed and in control of the game. I voted for him.

He played a good game and it could have been much better if he didn't get into foul trouble. It's another 50%+ shooting night with only 1 attempted 3. I like that he's attacking the basket and taking higher percentage shots. I don't know if it's because he's healthier or that he just sees that he's more productive when he takes it to the hoop. He may not be putting up the 20 or so point per game that he used to, but I'm not too concerned about that if he's playing smart and putting the team in a position to win.

To me its between Craig Smith and Rasual Butler, they both played very well in the fourth quarter. I think I'm going with Rhino this time

[DangerCurtis]

Tonight is really hard to pinpoint a star of the game. It was just a solid collaborative effort across the board. Everyone contributed and had highlights all the way from C. Kaman to D. Jordan in my opinion.

Nonetheless, I have to cast my vote to C. Smith. He just kept us in the game consistently all the way throughout. Our bench had a highly productive night and I love the fact that our team isn't solely dependent on one player. Anyone can take control of the game on any given night. Great job CLIPPERS!

Also, I think we lead the league in assists right now or at least in the top three.

[mj_shoefanatic]

had to give it to our MVP!

[Det the Threat]

Voted for Rhino as well.

I always like it when bench guys are ready to play, when the get the chance, and Smith just always seems to do something positive for us when he's on the floor.

[RiversideClips]

Bassy has surprised & impressed me. THe past 3 years, the Clips have been missing a back-up PG w/ intensity & talent.
So far, Bassy is twice as good as what I expected.

[clippermitch]

I would give it to Telfair. He helped the team late in the first quarter/early second quarter close the gap and stepped up in the second half when Baron was in foul trouble.

Everyone had a good game but I'm starting to love Telfair. I was watching the game last night and after Rasual hit the 3 to put us up 4, they showed the bench celebrating. Bassy was all fired up and he is showing a lot of passion that I haven't seen from the team in a long time.

Oh, and the other image is when Baron took him out with 4 minutes left and him and Baron exchanged slaps like they both knew it was "win time".

[jgustav1]

I went with Smith, good balance though since the star of the game could have gone to 3 or 4 players tonight. He hit his first NBA 3 tonight and provided good scoring punch off the bench.

[scratch21]

im going with Bassy hes becoming a fan favorite to me.
this was a must win it was ugly but id take these kind of wins over a blow out cuz he gives us experience in close gms

It's such a pleasure to hear things like that. Although the first 4 games were a downer, these past three have started to pump me up. Hopefully, we can continue to win, gain enough confidence to start pulling out wins against higher caliber teams, and hear about more great stories about the players.

On a side note, it seems as though Z-Bo fits in nicely with the Grizzlies. I'm glad to hear that he's having a positive impact on the team rather than a negative unlike Iverson.

[ejftw]

I'm going with Rasual Butler. He was huge in crunch time.

[chiefmad]

I got to give it to Rasual. He is really stepping up for the clippers and im glad that we have a professional like him. Rhino is a beast too and i kind of expected him to succeed here , back home. LA baby.

CLIP NATION NEEDS TO START THE " RASSSSSUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLL" chant when #45 hits them 3's ...COme CLIP NATION

[clipperdrew]

I'm going with the Minny Boys, Bassy and Craig. I guess it's a tie between the two. We played horrible to start the game, but as soon as they entered they picked us up when we needed it most. I kind of knew what to expect from Rhino, but Bassy has been really surprising me so far.

[manohman]

I went with Rhino. It's nice to have a player on the bench who can put up 18 points on high FG% and he did ok at the defensive end as well.
