Seems like we're blowing the game wide open now and might be able to keep the starters on the bench for the rest of the game.

Leslie's first NBA basket is an alley oop slam. His first two attempts have been dunks.

Great game from everyone, we had Lob City on display, not much defence but doesn't matter. Great showing from Thompkins and Leslie from what small time they saw. Both seem like they can be solid. All round good game from us Clips!!

:rockon:

117-89 Clippers win. I expected a win, but definitely not by 28.

Everything was clicking for us offensively tonight. This game was a confidence builder for players that have been here, but never really had that comfortable win. Hopefully, it's the first of many. We'll need some close wins to build character, but a blowout is great. Everybody is upbeat including the end of the bench players that wouldn't normally play. Now on to the Bucks.

O yeah, I didn't want to forget to mention that we only had 7 turnovers VS 30 assists. Great ratio

Great win tonight. CP3 had his best game, was aggressive offensively and finding his teammates. Chauncey didn't chuck like he did vs GSW, Caron looked good, Foye couldn't miss and Thompkins >>>>>> Cook. Can't wait for Evans to come back.

Depth, Low Turnovers Make Clippers Offense 'Dangerous'

“We got people that can handle the ball on this team,” guard Mo Williams said when asked about the team’s ability to score the ball and limit their turnovers. “We’ve got veteran guys, you know, who make a lot of good plays, smart plays. And not only that, when you’re throwing the ball up to DeAndre [Jordan] and Blake [Griffin] and all they’ve got to do is dunk it, the percentage of a turnover goes down pretty much.”


Del Negro has applauded Williams’ effort and energy off the bench and it didn’t stop following practice Thursday.

“Mo gets into the ball really well and gets our tempo going as well and that’s something we definitely want to use to our advantage,” Del Negro said.


Guard Chauncey Billups expanded, saying, “We’re dangerous, man. We’ve got a very dangerous team, offensively. We can beat you in so many different areas. I think that’s going to be advantage for us all year, having so many different weapons offensively in the starting unit and in the second unit. We’re going to win a lot of games like that.”


“We’re a good enough team that we just have to make the right pass and that also cuts down on turnovers,” Williams added. “We’re deep on this team. Obviously, you have to be deep to go deep in the playoffs.”
