Very nice as usual manohman.

This game is very unpredictable for me at this point. Phoenix got off to an early 25 point lead in our last meeting. They doubled Blake every time he touched the ball, which forced turnovers. We were without Baron and Bledsoe was injured in the game. Obviously, Baron is back, Bledsoe is healthy and hopefully Blake is a bit more prepared for the defensive game planning that may be in store for him. Phoenix has currently been struggling, have lost a few players and have yet to have Carter suit up for them. I have read that their plan is to start Carter and bring Dudley off of the bench, who has been tearing it up lately. It might be in our best interests if Carter is playing and trying to adjust to his new teammates.

Great game thread, manohman.

We've signed Ike Diogu?
I guess that happens when you don't have access to the Internet for about two weeks.
You just don't know what the heck happens.

Anyways. Those guys seem to own us no matter what, but with that trade they just made we might be able to steal this one.

So, let's go Clips.

Griffen is amazing, some sick dunks. Raps fan here..and I love the Clips young team hopefully this team sticks together. You guys need a SF how is Aminu doing?

[KL78192020]

They need to go back to griffen to much dribbling around. Get it in the post.

[PlinkingPanda]

That foul is after shot clock violation...

And Aminu is doing okay. Surprising to see him shoot from 3 so well, but his minutes have been inconsistent so he's had good and bad games.

[manohman]

33-18 Clippers after the first. Very nice quarter, Gordon and Griffin have 25 combined.

Great game so far. Anyone have an ETA on Kaman? I honestly think that the Clippers would be best served having him come off the bench at this point. I feel that a lineup of Davis, Griffin and Gordon will continue to flourish, but we will need someone to produce offensively from the bench, and I think that being able to throw it down to Kaman would be very effective for them.

[manohman]

LOL I love Ralph and Mike.

"Pass to the 3rd row. Unless that lady can make a 40 footer, that isn't an assist."

[PlinkingPanda]

Foye with a very nice dish to Diogu for the slam. Clips up 38-23.

[manohman]

I like what Foye is doing so far.

[PlinkingPanda]

Yeah his shot is falling and he's been getting players involved rather than mindlessly dribbling around and taking contested shots. The team as a whole is looking great today.

[KL78192020]

Griffen!!! didn't know he was such a good passer as well. Wish we got more clippers game here in canada.

Very impressive first half all-around. Blake is looking like a monster like always. It helps that Steve Nash hasn't shot well at all. I hope we can keep it up in the 2nd half. This is a good test to see where we stand.

[scratch21]

pretty good half till the end
settled for alot of 3s
