Well, the back to back game against the Suns was a very winnable game even with how badly the Clips played. The players have to accept the tough loss and move on to this game. Last time, it was an easy win with the Clippers blowing them out with a score of 117-89. Griffin and Paul both scored 20 plus in the game. The Rockets have actually been doing better since then and they have a solid 21-16 record being seventh in the West. Some good matchups will be Griffin against Scola and Cp3 playing against Lowry. Clippers should win this and make the road trip 2-1.

i hope we make a trade by tomorrow

[TheNewEra]

Agreed we need a deal soon stop wasting time already

[Cracka2Hi]

We'd be best off waiting until the trade deadline to make sure we get the best deal. It'd be terrible to trade for Bell or someone like that, only to see Allen get traded for nothing a week later. That said I hope we can hang in there because we aren't playing well. A win here would be big!

Nice gamethread my home slice areg!

Nice gamethread my home slice areg!

Thanks, man.

[mkwest]

Really nice thread areg.

I hope DJ comes out with a strong performance in front of his family and friends. In his rookie season, he had invited quite a few people and did not even get to play in his first game back home.


I'm not really sure if we'll pull something off before the deadline. I'm hoping that we pull a rabbit out of a hat, but who knows. This team has struggled since Chauncey went down and we need something to get back on track.

Thanks. I'm also hoping DJ has a good game against Houston since he hasn't been playing that well lately. If there does happen to be a trade, hopefully it's for Ray Allen or a good upgrade at the two with the Clippers not giving up too much to get a deal done.

We haven't been playing as well as I would like us to. I'm sure I'm not the only one worried about this team. I feel like we should be better than we are. The Clippers are capable of beating any team, and we can just as easily lose to any team. I hope we have a good defensive effort and DJ puts on a show being back home in Houston.

We need the Heat to beat the Lakers this afternoon so we can still lead the division (regardless of what happens in our game)

damn right!

Clipper gms WE NEEED A MOVE NOW!!!

i am watching the fakers play ....
they just getting better and better as the season goes. we on the other hand are getting worse and worse.....

fakers get a pg they likely win the devision(our coach negates all the talent we got on the fakers)


WE NEED A MOVE NOW!

we got to get new blood and show players we want to win(even if this would be done perfect by getting a new coach....)


but anyways watching this heat game ...... fakers get a pg we dont make a move they win the devision
(then they will never stfu)

[Neddy]

lets go lebron lets go

[LOJ]

What I would give for Mike Brown instead of Del Fail.

Look how great defensively the Lakers close out and rotate.

[Angel strike1]
