[Quake Griffin]

both teams reeling

let's defend and get this done.

[mkwest]

I think Neddy said he was going to be at this one, so I hope the guys play well for him.

[thanumba2clippersfan]

We really need this one. I don't like the slide that we're on.

[mkwest]

Terrible call against Willie Green.

[thanumba2clippersfan]

How was that a charge on Willie

[thanumba2clippersfan]

Nice corner 3 by Willie

[mkwest]

Waaay more Clippers fans than you'd expect at the Rose Garden.

Eric Patten

[mkwest]

Blake knocks it down from the top of the key in rhythm.

[thanumba2clippersfan]

The game got a little sloppy towards the end of the quarter. I feel like we shouldn't be down but the Blazers lead 25-22.

[mkwest]

25-22 Blazers through the first 12 minutes.

Milwaukee is getting ready to take down the Warriors. The Suns led the Spurs for most of the game, but are now down 8 in the final 3 minutes

[mkwest]

This team's effort sucks.

[thanumba2clippersfan]

I wasn't expecting us to be playing this poorly in this game.

[mttwlsn16]

Haven't seen any but wtf is up. Down double digits?

[thanumba2clippersfan]

I hope we can get out of this funk and come back in this ball game

[thanumba2clippersfan]

Besides the two Blazed layups we gave up we finished the half much better. We're only down by 6 at the half so that's not too bad.

[Quake Griffin]

2 lame bounces for griff to start the half.

stinks man

[thanumba2clippersfan]

I don't know what to say about this team right now.

[thanumba2clippersfan]

Blazers are killing us from 3

[thanumba2clippersfan]

At least Blake looks good out there.
