The Clippers are coming off of a loss to the Mavericks. I believe we have lost our last 3 road games. Playing back to back is never easy, especially without Eric Gordon. If Blake's elbow is OK, then I see us having an advantage inside. Scola and Hayes aren't very big and Jordan Hill and Patrick Patterson come off the bench. However I do see Houston having an advantage at the guard spots. Baron is bigger than Lowry and Brooks, but we'll have to see how he defends them. We do not have Gordon to guard Kevin Martin, and Martin had a good game against us even with Gordon.

Turnovers and miss free throws were a killer in last night's game. We need to play hard and we need to go inside. We still haven't figured it out on the road yet, but we will need to soon or the losses will pile up. I see a tough game tonight. It will all depend on how the Clippers respond to the Maverick loss.

I've been an LA Clipper fan since 1998 and that will never change. I hate our new logo and jerseys!

Hopefully we can stay afloat with EJ out. We've had a lot of winnable games this season IMO, but I think we legitimately "gave away" too many of them.

The Clippers are probably my favorite Western conference team to watch. I've been a big Eric Gordon fan since his days at Indiana, and who doesn't love to watch Blake Griffin play?

Anyway, I'll be at this game tonight. :D Bummed about Gordon being out though. :-?

Love how the refs are letting them play. Hate the way Gomes is playing. AFA needs and could use some more experience...and keeping him out while giving Gomes a bulk of the minutes while he's not playing well at all this past month or so maybe hurts AFA's confidence...especially since he started some games this year too.

Ughh just gross - Settling for jumpers on the road equals losses.

27-22 Rockets after 1. Underwhelming quarter for the Clips. We got off to a 6-0 start and it has been all Rockets since. Griffin has been a little tentative. It could be his left arm (which he has made both of his shots with), but it is more likely having to be guarded by Hayes. DJ has had a nice start for us playing front of the home crowd. Scola has pretty much been lights out for the Rockets. I want to see us attack more instead of settling for jumpers. We're not consistent enough in that area to rely on them.

I just got back and I see we are down early to the Rockets. We will probably have to fight to win this one.
