[Det the Threat]

After beating the Kings at their place, both teams will head to Los Angeles and play the back end of home and home stand between each other.

The Clippers got a great lift by Randy Foye last time around and need to find keep on playing defense, while rebounding and not turning over the ball, if they want to beat the Kings twice in three nights.

Key Matchup


Randy Foye

vs


Tyreke Evans

Foye has been very good lately and seems to understand his role, while also knowing that he's playing for a new contract. Last time he was able to hang with Evans, who's been not as good as during his rookie season, for the past two seasons.


Our lucky charm for for this one

Actress Natalia Avelon

Five Questions:

Can DJ contain Cousins again?
Who wins the key matchup?
Will we need CP3 to take over late in the 4th quarter this time around?
Can Caron give us a solid offensive outing?
Who will score more points? Our bench or theirs?


Discuss and Go Clips Go!!!

What I'm looking forward is how Blake responds to Cousins comments about the wind fouling him and him being babied by the NBA.

Need to win this one!

I'm also wondering how the Blake and Cousins matchup will go. The whole team needs to step up and play much better against the Kings. We don't have many home games left and we need to take advantage tonight. Also I think Mo is supposed to be back in the lineup tonight.

cousins' just mad cuz he had foul trouble lol

Mo is not ready to go yet and will sit this one out.

lol Paul is crazy a little immature though but guess everyone is getting sick of the hate on our team. I for damn sure thought everyone would be behind the Clippers being good

[mike3]

Interesting little war of words but I like that Griffin doesn't wanna get involved, hope he responds on the court today and plays a lot better against Cousins than last game.

No Chuck Hayes, Marcus Thornton or John Salmons for the Kings tonight.

I'm very sick, so I won't be posting much.

That was me yesterday, still not feeling too great today, but I'm alive.

Should be a fun game, and it will be interesting to see how Blake and Cousins play. What happened to Chuck Hayes, he was playing last game?

[mkwest]

Chuck Hayes has food poisoning

Hope y'all both feel better soon.

[Angel strike1]

kobe not playing. LET GO SUNS!

[og15]

Caron has really been playing well lately, good for him, looks a lot better on the court

[LOJ]

CP3 has such a nice touch.

[LOJ]

Foye is playing so well....

[LOJ]

Butler too, cutting to the basket. Great.

[mike3]

Randy Foye.

Great to see him playing so well, and good to see Griffin aggressive early

[thanumba2clippersfan]

Good start for us, can't let the Kings come back in this one. Just need to take them out early.
