Hope EJ plays tonight. If not, we're in for a long night on national TV.

I'm hoping that EJ plays as well. I'm glad that I can actually watch this game on TV and not on my computer. Most times I have watched the Clippers on TV in State College haven't resulted in wins, I hope it will be different tonight.

Who is gonna guard Melo, that is the problem. Al, maybe even Ricky are our best bets sad

Long eventful day with very early start --- I can at least tape the game and watch it first thing in the morning. Wishing the Clippers all the best with this one.

Lisa Dillman twittering that Eric Gordon is officially OUT. Damn.

Lisa Dillman twittering that Eric Gordon is officially OUT. Damn.

Sucks that he is not playing and this is the game I can actually watch on my TV

This one may be over

[JJ LoDuca]

Lisa Dillman also reporting...:gulp: Ricky Davis in the starting lineup....

Kaman picked up his 2nd. 1 of which we missed because TNT is acting up.

[BoomFizzle]

Ahahahaha Ricky Ricky Ricky

[mkwest]

Foul call after foul call.

[thanumba2clippersfan]

Looks like Mardy and Ricky will be handling the ball

[mkwest]

Tied at 24 at the end of 1 despite Camby, Kaman & Thornton each picking up 2 quick fouls a piece. We had 6 fouls to those 3 players before the Nuggets picked up 1. The result is they have had 10 free-throw attempts (making 7) while we've had 0. Ricky, Rhino and Kaman all have 6 points.

[thanumba2clippersfan]

Looks like both teams are pretty tired

[playaloc916]

Pretty good game so far. Our guys are playing with some heart. I've actually been impressed with Ricky this game so far, and the game against Chicago. He's no longer as much of a liability as he was last year, lol. Mardy's having a decent game too, and Craig Smith is giving us some inside scoring, which other than Kaman, we don't really have.

[thanumba2clippersfan]

I think Ricky just needed to get healthy. He has been playing much better of late, he won't be that player we saw say 5 years ago, but he is solid right now.

[mkwest]

I just want us to make it to halftime without any of our bigs picking up another foul.

[thanumba2clippersfan]

Sloppy passes by Baron

[mkwest]

Aye Aye Aye. Much needed time out. Guys are tied, but they need to chill or trying to force things.

[loflin3hree5ive]

Offense is stale for the second night in a row, but our defense is keeping LA in it. Just gotta keep Denver off the free throw line...
