LA Clippers (17-9) vs Washington Wizards (7-22)

hey after the blazers it's a showdown in staples against the spurs

Ugh. I hate playing the Spurs. One thing that always bugged me is that they always seem to get their injured players back right before they play us. Manu is back for them. The only positive is that they'll be a good test.

yeah, it sure will be a great test. we need to get used to beating a great team that is on a great winning streak before the playoffs come around. hopefully we have a great news for us of JR joining us tomorrow

Good 4th quarter. Washington started making mistakes and we started to make shots. Happy to get the win. Final score Clippers 102 Wizards 84.

Portland tomorrow night. LOJ you're back on track

Do you forgive me tn2cf?

I had faith that the Clippers would get back on the winning track. You've only had 1 loss doing the game threads and we still could have won that game. Me on the other hand, I think the Clippers lost the last three games I did. Clippers need you to keep doing game threads

Btw 22 pages! We're getting a lot more active.

I'm happy the new guys are here, and I'm also glad you guys feel at home. I know as a fan part of the experience of all of this is interacting with other fans in a positive way. When we come together like this it makes the experience 10x better.

thanks! great to be here man. most of our guys have been together for a long time, posting clipper basketball and we have always felt that we were always outnumbered by the other LA team's forum and their trolls but out of unfortunate circumstances we came out even more improved by coming here.

truly appreciate all the warm welcome we have received from you and other posters around here.

good win in the end.. I think Griffin kept us in it all game along with Butler, they were there when we needed them the whole time. With CP3 closing it out as well down the stretch.

Good win fellas!

The game was too close for too long. Then Foye finally hit some shots and CP3 started doing his usual 4th quarter takeover.

Tonight will be the real test in PDX, even without LMA.

Glad to see Foye end the 7 quarter drought last night. While Wall is a different animal with his blazing speed down the court, it was stil unpleasant to see the Clippers poorly defend the leak out and the fast break in general. We saw this twice against Utah, and also against Denver.

Going into the post season, if things remain similar, Denver could be a first round opponent, poor transition defense like that will be a problem. In general though, the transition defense needs some fixing.

Good game by a lot of guys in the end. Mo has cooled down a lot lately, which isn't too good. Hopefully he can maintain high shooting percentages for the rest of the season as he's been fairly low lately.

What is interesting to me is how the bigs minutes are being distributed. I can not help but wonder how frustrating it must be for DJ to be playing in the low 20 MPG range lately. I think it is possible to carve out at least 25+ minutes for him a night.

i think DJ's minutes are up to DJ. if he can consistently outmuscle, outhustle, and outrebound reggie in practice, DJ will be right back up to his starter minutes. i still see DJ looking lost out there and forgetting to box out his guy, or fails to make a defensive switch. griffin has been a little better as of late but both of our young bigs sorely lack the basic fundamentals especially DJ.
