Game #31: Clippers(19-11) vs Nuggets(18-15)

[Det the Threat]

After losing two in a row the Clippers will head back to Los Angeles and face the Denver Nuggets at Staples Center.

The Nuggets will be a tough opponent, having beaten the Clippers at Staples Center before and being about ten players deep.
The Clippers will have to regroup, execute better on offense and not turn the ball over much, if they want to win against that fast paced offense by George Karl's Nuggets.

Five Questions:

Will we be able to keep the turnovers low?
Who will grab more boards? Blake or Farried?
Will we be able to have four guys in double figures for this one?

Gallo being out is big. regardless though this wont be an easy game. Would really like to see us come awway with a big W before the AS break. we could certainly use it

[JayClips92]

we are coming off two disappointing losses. The Nuggets are a very hard team to figure out, I feel like this a must win to get back on track.

[LOJ]

We need some momentum going again, this team has to find other ways to score, it can't just be Blake, CP3, and Mo carrying the load all the time, with the occasional Caron Butler making an appearance.

But that won't happen as long as VDN is here.

[azncorruptedo17]

one of the biggest drawbacks on our bench is that when Evans comes in..... we just can't score, so of course cp3/mo have to step up on scoring... billups was a huge loss for us, and it's showing =\

Not really, DJ has been pretty bad offensively, and just looks lost out there. Last night got schooled by Epke Udoh, couldn't grab a damn board.

whatever happens, i just want to see andre miller on the floor motionless.

[illastrate]

No Nene. No Gallo. No excuses.

[scratch21]

this is the biggest must win of the season thus far

[mkwest]

This is only the second time all season that we have dropped 2 in a row. How often have we been able to say that over the years?

This one is back at home and the last game before the all-star break. We need to go all out for a win. Most of the guys will have about a week to rest, so may as well leave it all out on the floor.

[Neddy]

19-11 isn't bad at all in any clipper standards, but i want this team to get back to .667 winning percentage. once we beat the nuggs teams we play after the allstar break is pretty easy to accomplish that goal

[Cracka2Hi]

We really need a win! I have a bad feeling tho, if we don't win easily we're finding ways to lose since Chauncey went down.

[WinningCuresAll]

I'd really hate to lose 3 games in a row.

[thanumba2clippersfan]

Just letting everyone know I'm still sick so I probably won't post much during the game. I would also hate for us to lose another game. I'm hoping our guys step up and give it their all since after this game is the All-Star break. What I've noticed that in our losses we haven't really been blown out. We just don't execute down the stretch of certain games. If the Nuggets really do have injuries we should be able to take advantage. Being that we are at home and not tired we should do much better. I will be disappointed if we lose again.

[LOJ]

Get well soon #2!

[mttwlsn16]

I would kill to go to a Clippers game this year.

Have fun dude

[illastrate]

Lawson and Fernandez are game time decisions. If they don't play, we better blow them out.
