The game was much closer than it should have been. Way too many turnovers on our part. But a win is a win. First Rose, then Evans. Who's next to choke?


Let's just hope our future games don't have to come to those situations.

Respect to the Kings commentators. Nice to listen to and were completely honest about Baron not fouling and the fact Gomes fouled way before the 3 point shot. He fouled on the dribble, Evans took another dribble then he fouled again. On the replay the ref definitely blew the whistle on the first. The decision to foul I completely agree with as well. Terrible call by the refs to give 3.

I honestly thought he fouled before the shot too, but then all the replays just showed the 2nd foul I guess. Either way Evans isn't a good three point shooter so I would have preferred for him to take a contested shot rather than on the free throw line.

Well Kings commentators were also agreeing it was before the shot. Considering the fact he has made a few 3s already its a better option to go for free throws in my opinion.

One thing I have noticed. It seems BD helps Griffin score more but doesn't help Gordon. Griffin on the other hand helps Gordon score. So when all three are on the court, generally Griffin is the target then when BD goes to the bench Griffin gets doubled and then Gordon takes over. I really like that dynamic we have going. Not sure how Kaman is going to fit in though.

I thought it was on the floor also and was getting ready to be pissed, but the replay that was shown changed my judgment. If there were 2 fouls on that play, then that's definitely on the refs. Thankfully, it didn't screw us in the end. I like the idea to foul while up 3 with just a few ticks left on the clock, but you have to be extra careful.

Not sure I want to find out with the way Diogu/Jordan have been stepping up.

I only got to watch a little bit of the game in the middle when we were up by a fair amount. Things were looking good for us yet again, but I guess we gave up most of the league and almost the game at the end. Anyways, I'm glad we got the win, and it's 5 of the last 6 now!

Up 3 and fouling for 2 is a good play if it's done right. Refs just happened to say that it was during the act of shooting, therefore it's a boneheaded play. If he only shot 2 and made them both, Clips get ball back with a 1 point lead. If he made the first and missed the 2nd, the worst thing that could happen is that we'd go to overtime.

Yay, our 10th win of the season.
So we won't break or tie Philly's all time record in fewest wins in a season. :P

Anyways, way too many turnovers again and we've been lucky that the didn't make more out of it.

Oh, and EJ's just playing fantastic this season.
