Mike Dunleavy has found a solid rotation.

hey guys, howd Thornton play tonight? ive noticed hes been coming off the bench last 2 games and weve been winning. Im hoping he still gets decent minutes though,
he only got around 6 points but was he playing smart and not forcing shots?

He wasn't bad. 3 of 4 and hit a much need shot late in the 3rd. He only played 16 minutes. I'm not sure if that was because he's been feeling under the weather or not, but he was able to play productively in those minutes.

We barely got the win tonight. Seems like it always comes down to free throws, turn overs, or offensive rebounds.
I've been an LA Clipper fan since 1998 and that will never change. I hate our new logo and jerseys!

Just finished watching the game.

Our defense was pretty bad, but we finally managed a solid 4th quarter, when it counts.

Really hope the guys keep it up and surprise the Hornets on Monday Night.

Like I've been saying from day 1, we need to rebound and not turn the ball over and we'll definitely make the playoffs.

I don't understand how our frontline gets killed on the boards. We have to be more physical. Kaman and Camby should be fighting for rebounds like Brand and Kaman did a few years ago. Hopefully Blake can help out in that department.

As far as turnovers go, Baron and Gordon need to do a better job. It seems like their passes are easily telegraphed. The entire team needs to take care of the ball. I think we commit at least 8-10 unforced turnovers (like Kaman bouncing the ball on Baron's foot).

Overall, I think we are looking better. If Al doesn't improve before Blake comes back, I can definitely see Blake playing the 3.

Again, props to GM Dunleavy for getting Telfair and Smith. It seems like every time we deal with Minny, we always win. Can't wait to get that lottery pick from Minny.

Very good win for you guys last night. Telfair is balling...but what's up with Mardy - he's getting no burn?

My computer has a virus and was completely unusable last night, so I missed this one, but it soulds like a streak to me.
I'm so glad that Kaman seems to be back, really back. That sould prove very helpful throughout the season.

Great that we got the win, but I really hope we can improve our team free thrown shooting percentage. We're averaging 70%, which is 25th in the league. It already cost us that Phoenix game. and made this one much closer that it should have been.

But I've got to say that Kaman is in total beast mode right now. I never would've expected the production we're getting from him. Let's hope he can sustain this until we get Blake back. Or even better, all season long :D

Return to Los Angeles Clippers
