Nick Collison Lower leg stress reaction Out


My initial thought is that we have an advantage inside with Kaman and Griffin. Green is still their starting PF and Kristic starts for them at C so I think we have an advantage there.

Though we all know that Durant is a handful and if this is going to be our first win we will need to see a brand new team out there. We have struggled with the defensive rotations and defending the pick and roll. Basically we will need an improved effort on defense.

I checked the injury reports this afternoon and it looks like Baron and Foye won't be playing. We will see Bledsoe, Gordon, and Warren handling the PG duties. Looks like this will be an interesting game this evening. We have advantages at SG and in the post but the Thunder have the best player on the floor. The Thunder are coming off a blow out loss to the Jazz and have struggled defensively themselves. This game could either be a struggle for us or a shoot out. I hope tonight we will get our first victory.

Any news on whether Baron will be playing tonight? Tough night for Gomes.

I wonder who's gonna defend Durant on 1-1 defense. I dont think Gomes can handle him, Gordon is way to short and Aminu is inexperienced. Can we see Griffin taking on Durant?

I'm gonna miss this game because of work (always gets in the way, don't it?) but it would be worth calling off to watch Griffin v. Durant. C'mon and get win #1, Clips!

I kinda have a good feeling about this game, but I feel OKC is a bit overrated. I hope they don't prove me wrong. :P

We're getting offensive rebounds, but we're not making the put backs

I like how fast Bledsoe takes us to offense...he just has to be more careful with crossovers and passes.

This start does seem to be better than most of our starts so far
