new guys aren't playing? or can't it happen literally the day after?

Would be nice to see E.J. play. Not thinking this is going to be a Great Clipper outing, but I have been wrong b4.
Blake is a beast, Kaman seems to be working on positioning and taking the rust off.
What # is MoWill going to wear?

If we are to win tonight we are going to need more help, or Bledsoe has to play the best game of his young career. If EJ or Mo doesn't play all the Lakers will do is double Blake and make the rest of the team try to beat them. It is early in the day so hopefully we'll get some news of other players being able to play.

im guessing they have to undergo physicals or paperwork/crap/stuff.

Craig Smith talks about his recent injury and shares what he thinks is key in getting a win against the Lakers.

It could happen, but it's not certain.

There could still be some paperwork to do etc

Though, I hope they'll at least be available tomorrow against the Celtics, cause we really need them, especially Mo and his shooting.

All of the players needed to report to their new teams and pass their physicals. Baron is supposed to arrive in Cleveland tomorrow so that he can play for the Cavs on Sunday. I don't know if it happens in time for our guys to play tomorrow night.

Since they just showed that Odom/Griffin scuffle. I wonder who would actually step up to protect Blake now that Baron is gone. No one else really seemed to have the balls to confront those who gave Blake crap.

Baron get's to decide when our new guys play says Lisa Dillman

Clippers and new players will be forced to wait until the Baron Davis physical gets done. #alwayssomethiing

I would think Craig Smith or DJ.

Not Haywood Workman

Even though we are the road team, it's good to see the Clippers back in Staples Center

A different Jack is watching the game tonight

[mkwest]

Kobe has the benefit of not having Gordon on him and Artest doesn't have to worry about him on the defensive end.

[thanumba2clippersfan]

Glad to see Foye hitting his 3s

[mkwest]

Awww man.

[thanumba2clippersfan]

Lakers up 18-12 with 5:40 to go in the first quarter
