Game 64: L.A. Clippers(39-24) vs. New Orleans Hornets(20-43)

[mkwest]

That was a horrible 3rd quarter and a great 4th quarter. I'm glad we pulled it out and got the win. This game was frustrating, but now I can enjoy my night. Paul and Foye did a great job and we finally picked up the D.

Too damn close for comfort, but I'll take a win anytime. I don't care if they're by 20 or by 1 in triple overtime. OK, I care a little, but you get the point

Hornets coach Monty Williams had sharp words for Griffin.

''I thought some of the calls just didn't go our way and our guys didn't give into that. It's hard to play against all the flopping and nonsense that goes on with that team,'' he said.

''Who is the common denominator with all this fluff going on around the league? Blake Griffin. We don't dunk, we don't stare at people, we play the game the same way every night. ... But all the extra stuff, we've never been about that.''

Williams said, ''They put Reggie Evans in the game for one reason, and that's to come in and hit people. It's hard to play against that. I'm not going to retract that. That's what happened.''


such a crybaby wuss.
hope nba suspends his ass

Seriously wondering how Hornets built such a lead on us but love Foyes underated play as of late. This guys deserves some recognition of his play this 2nd half of the year. Great play by CP3 and Griffin.

Interesting comments by Hornets coach, I don't like that. \

Any news on Butlers injury?

[ejftw]

All I know is its a hip contusion/bruised hip, no clue on the extent.

I like Monty, he's a cool guy. Reggie isn't in games to hit people though, hs in there to provide hustle and energy, it's just that hitting peopl happens to come with that for him

I'm not sure why Monty said "we don't dunk" though, don't really know what he means by that. Outside of that, early, the Hornets had some ticky tack fouls going against them.

I know Monty may be frustrated (I probably would be too if I were an opposing team), but some of his comments were ridiculous. I don't even know what we don't dunk means. I saw some pretty nice dunks from them in the game. Nobody may stare, but he doesn't have a problem with Landry flexing his muscles when he does something special? If Reggie comes in to hit people, then what do you call what Smith did to Blake in a previous game?

[og15]

Yea, what in the world was "we don't dunk", that one got me, and he's probably speaking out of frustration from the loss and didn't process everything fully, but the Clippers didn't do any more celebrating than the Hornets did after plays.

I'm actually not sure who else Reggie hit outside of the hard screen on Vasquez
