Game #23: Wizards(7-14) @ Clippers(9-13)

Det the Threat · Post #1 » by **Det the Threat** » Mon Dec 14, 2009 4:04 pm

After another dissapointing game the Clippers have a chance to bounce back the day after. This time around, they'll face the Washington Wizards and Gilbert Arenas. The Wizards have been dissapointing this season and look to turn things around. They'll have their big three, Gilbert Arenas, Caron Butler and Antawn Jamison, for this game and will look for their 8th win of the season.

The Clippers will still be without Blake Griffin in this one, as he's most likely out till mid January. They'll also miss Kareem Rush, who's out for season with a torn ACL. Baron Davis had been ill on Saturday, but did play on Sunday and should be back in the starting lineup.

Just a few hours away.. Not sure what to really think of the game. We should win since the Wizards have been in a funk this year, but you can never be too sure with this team.

I have no idea why I'm going to the game tonight...even if my tickets are free. I guess I have a sudden urge for getting my heart broken.

Horrible horrible horrible.. With the way we're playing I'm surprised we're only down 7.

EJ has had a good first quarter

25-21 Wiz lead at the end of 1. Things started off looking very promising for us, but a couple of bad passes and a few clanks later and we trailed by 7 or so. Gordon had 2 turnovers, but is 5 of 6 from the field for 12 points. Baron's not been a scoring factor but has managed 6 assists and 2 steals so far. Kaman had a couple of good looks, but we really could have used that layup that he missed shortly before the end of the quarter.

Telfair knocks down a 21-footer to give us a 26-25 lead.
