Game 16: Los Angeles (6-9) VS Indiana (5-7)

I noticed after your dunk against DJ Mbenga you tried not to show any emotion... then about a minute later you smiled. How hard were you trying to not show any emotion?
Carlos Flores, Whittier, CA

BG: I didn’t want to get too crazy. I tried to keep it in. It was a fun game and an exciting play so I cracked a smile.

What is one of your biggest pet peeves?
Andrea Brown, Chicago, IL

BG: Slow drivers. Especially in L.A.

Hey Blake, now that you've finally made it to the NBA, what part of your game do you think you need to improve on most to succeed in the league?
Taylor Horton, Rehoboth, MA

BG: I need to continue to improve offensively, like extend my range and be more comfortable with playing on the perimeter.

Hey Blake. Just wanted to know what the hand shaking thing is when you do a great play?
Robert Zomphier, Rancho Cucamonga, CA

BG: That’s top secret team information. It’s kind of an inside joke with the team. Hopefully we'll see it a lot this year.

Looking for a Clippers win, but hope EJ is playing.
Pacers will be tired on second leg of a back-to-back road trip and lost last night. Granger is a pleasure to watch, and sometimes pretty tough to guard, but Ford is temperamental and Baron could throw him off in any number of ways if he is having a good night.
Clippers coming off a win, and I hope will be motivated by that.

I'm hoping for a win tonight. I've been disappointed many times this season and this team is inconsistent. We need a better performance from Baron, Kaman, and Butler. I almost think that Butler should come off the bench. I hope EJ plays tonight and we just need to bring it

[PlinkingPanda]

I think we have a good shot of winning if EJ is back and fully healthy. I would also start Al over Rasual if EJ does come back since he's been more consistent as of late.

Should be a good and somewhat tough game to play though.

Pacers beat reporter Mike Wells reports that Danny Granger will not play on Wednesday due to a sprained left MCL.

Wow that's a big blow.

[Purpose]

Yea, we'll see how accurate it is. Got it off a fantasy bball website.

Lisa Dillman also reported that Granger will be out due to a sprained MCL and that Gordon will play limited minutes off the bench.

[thanumba2clippersfan]

I'm glad that EJ will be playing, I figured he would. I'm in hoops heaven right now with Penn State playing Sacred Heart and the Clippers playing the Pacers. I'll just have to keep changing games.

Anyone have any word on DJ?

[mkwest]

Baron makes his first attempt of the game.

[thanumba2clippersfan]

Baron get's his first basket more than 10:30 left in the first quarter. Nice to see him score early, even though its one basket

[mkwest]

Anyone have any word on DJ?

I don't think he traveled with the team. He's day-to-day right now.

[mkwest]

Baron has been putting in work early, but has picked up two quick fouls. Bassy in.

[thanumba2clippersfan]

Baron with 2 early fouls

[TheNewEra]

GOOD sign so far

[thanumba2clippersfan]

EJ is back

[mkwest]

EJ looking good and makes his first attempt back from injury.

Kaman needs to post up hard no jumpers no one is going to stop him

Kaman needs to post up hard no jumpers no one is going to stop him

I agree.
