The Clippers will be facing the Nuggets on Christmas day trying to go for their 14th win in a row! It should be a great challenge as I'm sure the Nuggets are going to be hungry to end the streak. The matchups look really good here with Chris going up against Ty and Blake playing against Faried. These teams also have two of the deepest benches in the league. I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Big game. Streak on the line, Nuggets are a well coached strong unit and can beat tough teams. Will be a tough test for us.

Wish I could watch it! Go Clippers!

Merry Christmas everyone. Riverside, Quake and mj, have a good time at the game

Hopefully we can keep this streak going. Denver has won 4 of their last 5 including wins against the Spurs and the Grizzlies.

Merry Christmas everyone. For those going to the game enjoy and represent us well. A Clipper win on Christmas will be a great gift. I remember a few years ago when we got blown out by Phoenix on Christmas. This is back when I couldn't watch them much on TV, this had me so upset. I waited all day to watch and it was a horrible result. I know things have changed and I'm looking for the team to continue to win streak.

positive thinking....say it with me...POSITIVE THINKING.

i prefer to think of Clipper Christmas as the anniversary of Chris Paul's regular season debut for us. 8-)

i don't even remember a game scheduled for us because we drafted blake in a season in which he didn't play all year.... :banghead:

call it selective amnesia.

Miami took care of business against the Thunder. If the Clippers take care of theirs tonight, we'll be in sole possession of 1st place in the entire league. Let's do this!

OKC loss just made me incredibly nervous for this game. Have we ever been 1st in the league for even an hour at anytime in franchise history?

Them losing helps us. If we win, we're first. If we lose, we're still only a 1/2 game out of first.

You could say we were tied for first in 2007 after the first 4 games. This is best we've been at this point in the season.
