Team Leaders

Chris Paul 9.8 APG & 2.3 SPG
DeAndre Jordan 2.2 BPG



Al Horford 16.5 PPG & 9.3 RPG
Jeff Teague 6.9 APG & 1.5 SPG
Josh Smith 2.1 BPG


Key Matchup


Jamal Crawford

vs


Lou Williams

Both guys are able to score it from everywhere on the court and are in the running for 6th man of the year. Though, Crawford's even the team leading scorer for the Clippers and will have to carry an even bigger load for the team to be successfull.


Our lucky charm for for this one

Russian tennis player Maria Kirilenko(non related to the ugly guy now with Minny)


Five Questions:

Who will win the key matchup? Williams or Crawford?
Will the team be able to bounce back not even 24h after that bad loss to Brooklyn?
How will Blake do against the high jumping and shotblocking Josh Smith?
Will Chris show Teague that he's an elite pg in this league?
Can DJ contain Horford or do we need some bench guys to do the job on the former all-star?


Discuss and Go Clips Go!!!

what the heck is up with 18 kanters lol

clips have got to close this road trip 2-2. the last time we lost 2 in a row we had a 6 game winning streak. maybe we have a pattern.

2W--2L--6W--2L--10W?

from this game until jan 1st, we play mostly at home against easier opponents, and only chicago, milwaukee, and utahX2 appears to be a challenging road games. we should dominate the month of december

[Quake Griffin]
