Any word on whether Blake and Outlaw will be in uniform for tonight?

Last night against Portland DeAndre Jordan put up 14 points, 11 rebounds, and had 3 block shots.

During the meeting against us DeAndre had 2 pints, 2 rebounds, and 2 block shots during the four minutes he played.

2 pints in 4 minutes definitely affects your ability to score.

Supposedly the real upside for the Clippers in doing the deal is that Jordan will get consistent minutes, but it's hard to really extrapolate the performance against the Portland frontline to how he'll do against other teams.

It would be nice to see us score 100+ for once and maybe blow out a road team for the first time in a while

Can't Sund just talk to whoever is the GM for the Blazers now about a trade for A. Thorton? Mo Evans + 1st for him?

The Wizards have acquired Al Thornton.

Would anyone here be OK with offering our 1st rounder for Thornton?

EDIT-I see Skyhawk beat me to it.

Solid first half.

Got to love the number of easy baskets.

Al Horford night in Los Angeles. I appreciate the team clocking in ready to work after the break.

HoopsGuru25 · Post #14 » by **HoopsGuru25** » Thu Feb 18, 2010 5:59 am

The Clippers had alot of NBDL caliber players logging minutes tonight. We did lose a game there a couple of years ago when they had Cassell/Brand/Maggette/Mobley out so I'll take the W.

Horford didn't appear to be playing against NBDL players, but Jordan and Kaman.

12 out of 15 shots? Ya know, if a guy shoots that well, it means we STILL didn't get the ball to him enough.

evildallas · Post #16 » by **evildallas** » Thu Feb 18, 2010 3:53 pm

^^^ I felt he got it enough. He was also 7-9 from the FT line which accounted for a few more shot attempts on which he got fouled. He also had 4 assists that were primarily from down low where the defense collapsed on him and left someone wide open. The defense couldn't stop Al or Josh (8-12 with 7 assists) and the team didn't shy away from giving them the ball.

Awesome game by the frountcourt. Josh looked extra focused. Should of put them away earlier but we did it none the less.
