The Clips pick up their 2nd road win over one of the deepest teams in the league.

Even though his shot selection is questionable, he was making them, and on top of that he got that very saavy flop against Nene there at the end.

We did get away with some things, but the Nuggets did too. The refs sucked as a whole. It wasn't one-sided.

I'm going with the home town hero, Chauncey Billups
I've been an LA Clipper fan since 1998 and that will never change. I hate our new logo and jerseys!

I was torn between Billups and Paul, my vote went to Chris Paul, great job in closing the game with free throws at the end. He always seems to make the correct decisions at the end of the game, they also had a +19 point differential while he was on the floor.

If you are referring to CP3's 3 pointer that was taken late in the 2nd quarter. That was reviewed and the points were removed at the half. This is why the score was changed from 53-51 to 53-48 Nuggets.

Blake was pushed in mid-air which is technically supposed to be considered a flagrant-1 this season, since there was no play on the ball. The refs called it just a regular intentional foul. I don't think Harrington meant any harm, but that was a flagrant by the rule. He got the shots, but should have had possession as well.

Blake was hacked on his arm during a field goal attempt late in the 4th by Harrington, but no call was made.

Nene got away with a travel late in the game.

Gallinari touched the ball going out of bounds, but it was called out on Griffin. At least from the angle that I was shown.

Potential loose ball foul earlier in the game by Mozgov on DJ if I truly want to be nitpicky. The refs let some physical play go on both sides, so I can understand this one either way.

The Clippers shot 6 more free-throws (4 of which came off of intentional fouls in the last 20 something seconds or so). The personal foul disparity was about even if you take away those intentional fouls. Billups did get a call that he shouldn't have when he was fouled off of a baseline shot that became a 3 point play. The fact of the matter is that aside from the bad calls either way, it was still anyone's game in the last couple of minutes. The Nuggets outplayed the Clippers for the majority of the game, but you have convert and execute at the end of the game. You guys will bounce back.

To the Raptor fan obviously, you didn't see all of Denver's travels that weren't called at the end of the game. Denver should have one this, the Clips wouldn't give up & stole the game at the 10 minute mark of the 4th quarter.
Down by 10 w/ 10 to play the Clips rattled off 11 pts & kept the game close. nene travelled, Galinari passed to himself & fouls both ways were not called. Great win, let's do it again tonight!
