Tough game in Utah last night, we need to bounce back and play better. The Clippers were not ready to play the Jazz last night, there was a total lack of energy. We need to limit our turn overs, rebound the ball, and find easier shots. Hopefully we will have either Paul and/or Mo ready to go for this one. The Mavs are coming off of a loss themselves and were able to rest and study us. This is the third game in three days for us. Since last night's game was such a blow out I hope the starters are a little more rested. We are also playing at home so I hope the guys come into this one with more energy and are ready to play hard.

really dissappointed in that utah gm... if we dont rebound against Dal we could have problems

[illastrate]

It's a home game, I fully expect us to bounce back. And hopefully CP3 and/or Mo will be good to go. I'm pretty sure Mo will be at the very least.

I don't like the way we're losing on the road though, that has to change.

We've also had basically the toughest schedule so far this season. Those Utah Jazz were an 8-4 team. Portland twice, Miami, San Antonio, LAL, Chicago (Houston is 7-7 themselves). Thats 7 of the 11 games played so far. Won 3/7 against the tough teams, and that includes a loss to Utah on the second night of a back to back without the starting PG, and the first guard off the bench.

The schedule doesn't get easier yet though. The next 9 games has Dallas, Denver x 2, LAL, Memphis, OKC, and Utah. Toronto and Minneosotta are mixed in there, so expect a lot of tough fought games, and maybe a record that isn't as pleasing to the eyes as one would desire.

Taking the Toronto and Minnesotta game, then going 4-3 against the rest (6-3 total) would be quite a good outcome, but 3-4 (5-4 total) could happen with how condensed those games are.

I wouldn't want it any other way, go big or go home, lets go.

Big need game guys can rest up and play hard tonight and rest Thursday to prepare for Friday.

Last night was a big let down. You could clearly see BG getting tired (he was tugging those shorts in the 1st quarter!). I hope we can continue our strong home record, and take this one against the old timers. Expect to see a lot of fast breaking, and Alleys.

[donemilio21]

If you had asked me to choose 3 road games we will guaranteed to lose, I would choose Portland, Utah and San Antonio.
We lost those games, but everyone will lose those games. I'm not worried.

[TheNewEra]

Hopefully we can pull this off and get a streak going

Man, talk about bad luck. Mo and CP3 just had to be injured in the same time frame. Hopefully one of them is good to go soon.

[mj_shoefanatic]

Hope MO can play at least 15-20 min off the bench. Fortson/Leslie is not a good look unless we're up by 20

[TheNewEra]

Let's go Clips
