Guard the 3 point line and take care of the ball and we'll win big!

We need this win!

[thanumba2clippersfan]

We didn't defend very well on Friday, so my hope is that defense was really emphasized. The Lakers have been playing better but so have we. I hope this team remembers how we almost won, and that we should have won that game on December 8th. We just need to come ready to play.

[ClipperDomination]

Defend. Defend. Defend. And limit the points in the paint.

Clippers up 14-12 after the first 6 minutes

[thanumba2clippersfan]

We're up 4 with 2:15 to go, good start for us so far. We're just fouling them a lil bit more that I'd like.

[mkwest]

Weak call.

27-22 Clippers at the end of 1. I haven't seen much of the 1st, but I've heard/read that there have been some bad calls/no calls.

Clippers up by 5 after the 1st quarter, Aminu has 3 fouls and Gomes has 2. I'm surprised that Vinny didn't bring in Butler off the bench.

It's been so long since Sual has played. Hopefully he'll be ready to go if his number is called.

Artest pushed DJ down in the first and there was no call, other than that I think things have been ok

I read that there were some walks that weren't called. Just wondering, but wouldn't be surprised.

[thanumba2clippersfan]

They got that Steve Blake call wrong, looked like a charge to me

[mkwest]

I love the jump that EJ has made, but he's not going to get MIP.

It was.

[mkwest]

Another weak call.

[thanumba2clippersfan]

This doesn't happen much but Griffin has struggled to start the game

[mkwest]

Call it fair. Damn.

[thanumba2clippersfan]

We're really struggling right now
