I think this is a winnable game. I think that Kaman should be able to make Duncan look old.
Just keep an eye on Bonner, he always seems to kill the Clips w/ 3 pointers

I'm curious to see how Kim Hughes will do in his first game as the official head coach. We are back at home from that disappointing road trip and seem to play better at home so this should be a good one.

[RiversideClips]

I am curious to see if Dunleavy sits w/ Sterling, in a booth or somewhere hidden. I should call him & tell him I got an extra seat in 302 tonight

[TheNewEra]

this would be funny if we won

That'd be way too nice of you!

Interesting interview on Clippers Live with Dunleavy and Kim Hughes. Hughes reminds me a bit of a high school coach, in a good way. He expects his players to play hard, and if they don't hustle, they sit. Hughes called Dunleavy "cerebral" and focused on formulas to coach, and admitted that the players tuned him out near the end. Hughes's philosophy is simple-- run, play hard, and let the players win the games. The team seems pumped about the coaching change. Hope to see a good game tonight.

The first possession of the Kim Hughes era ends in a score.

[mkwest]

Hill is killing the Clippers so far. He has 10 of the Spurs 12 points and is 4 for 4 from the field.

[JJ LoDuca]

After starting 4-0 the Clips went down 4-18. Not good.

[mkwest]

18-0 run by the Spurs ended by an Eric Gordon layup.

[TheNewEra]

should of traded for hill

[mkwest]

Nice block by DJ.

[mkwest]

Hill is looking like LeBron out there.

[JJ LoDuca]

10 points in the first quarter, really?

[clipperfan4life]

Wow bad start, hopefully we can cut that down when Hill sits down man

[mkwest]

The 1st quarter of the Kim Hughes era ends in utter failure. 28-10 Spurs. Hill has 17. Clippers are shooting 4 for 19 and have 8 turnovers to the Spurs' 1. It's been chaotic and sloppy doesn't even begin to describe the team's play so far.

[mkwest]

Wow bad start, hopefully we can cut that down when Hill sits down man

If you disregard everything that he's done, it's only a 1 point game

[RiversideClips]

Hughes is just an extension of Dunleavy. This whole coaching change is a farce.

[mkwest]

Nice putback slam by DJ.

[cinnamon]

Well, at 38-22 this is pretty discouraging.
But at least we are used to it, after all those Dunleavy-coached games.
