Gordon to Butler for the 2-handed slam. That was nice.

Kaman's getting married? Pretty soon there could be a pack of little Kamaniacs running around. Congrats to him though.

50-46 Blazers at the half. I'm so glad that Baron has been trying to drive in for the easy basket as opposed to jacking up a 3 at the end of quarters. Clippers have been down by double digits, so a 4 point game at the half isn't bad.

Steve Blake is ballin' right now. 8 points in the 4th.

17-4 run by the Clips.

87-79 Blazers.

93-85 Blazers win.

It was nice to see an inspired effort by the Clips in the 4th, but it just wasn't enough. Too little too late.

Camby left the game early with a strained hamstring. Hopefully he is able to bounce back soon.

I hope Camby got at least a decent cheer from our crowd.

Is Blake outplaying Davis a regular thing since the trade? Our announcers made it out to be the case, but they're wrong often.

There have been times that Blake has been better than Baron. If Baron is disinterested in playing, like he is right now, then he plays like crap.

I've been a little busy so I'm sorry I missed this game. I'm also sorry that we had to lose another game. I am hoping that we can beat the Kings and Warriors since wins are becoming hard to come by. I guess the only good thing about losing is that we are getting a better chance at winning the draft lottery.
