Dear god please let us get a win here lol.

[illastrate]

Start Aminu already!

[BoomFizzle]

Aminu started the last game did he not? He played decent but made some awful fast break passes. Guess thats why he didnt play as much.

Got to say im already pretty bored of watching us play. Brook should absolutely kill us today but Griffin vs Favors could be kinda interesting I guess.

[illastrate]

I mean start over Gomes, who played 42 mins but didn't do much of anything.

[mattfish]

Please win this one!

I was thinking about the strength of schedule thing a little more, I didn't realize we had the toughest schedule so far according to ESPN:

This is one of the first games where I feel like we should be the favorites to win.

[Palma Dutch]

I'd love to see Deandre out-hustle his oppent this game. Brook Lopez has been sadly Andrea-esque and has been a huge disappointment on the boards thus far. The child in me wants to see Blake dunk it over someone and the analyst in me wants to see fair, even ball control. Oh, and start Aminu already. Good god it's tedious to see Gomes out there 24/7. Aminu is a developing rookie.

[donemilio21]

This is the test for us whether we can do better or not. We will play Pacers, Wolves and Knicks after tonight. and if we dont get at least 3 wins, there wont be any hope for the remainder of the season.

[thanumba2clippersfan]

I think we have the opportunity to win this game. The college hoops marathon on ESPN will be starting right before this game is over so I'll have to flip between the Clippers game and college basketball.

DJ = 22
EJ = 21
BG = 21
EB = 20
AFA = 20

Youngest starting line-up ever?

[Palma Dutch]

It's horrible. We're obviously veteran contenders so I think that it's a now or never situation.

[PlinkingPanda]

DJ = 22
EJ = 21
BG = 21
EB = 20
AFA = 20

Youngest starting line-up ever?

For real that's going to be our starting lineup tonight? Should be really interesting to watch. AFA is our best 3 point shooter at this point, so getting him in the starting lineup may help us get things going early.

[Palma Dutch]

Yeah I thought Aminu shot bricks. Guess I was wrong. He looks like Dwight Howard.

[ClipperDomination]

Morrow always kills the Clipps. Hopefully they can stop him from unleashing his three point wrath on us.

Young lineup, I'd like to see them push, push, push the tempo.

Blake should also have a huge athleticism/quickness advantage over Murphy/Favors. Let's see if he can use that to his fullest extent.

[PlinkingPanda]

Seems like EJ has found his free throw shooting the past few games.

[thanumba2clippersfan]

Going with the youth movement for our starting lineup

[mkwest]

Morrow to the bench with 2 fouls. Q Ross enters the game.

[PlinkingPanda]

Wooo. DJ hitting both free throws. Impressive.

[ClipperDomination]

DJ can't let Brook Lopez set up down low all game or else he'll be toast.

[mkwest]

Bingo Chief!
