I'm putting the game thread up for discussion. I'll try my best to have accurate lineups up before the game. Let's finish this month off right. We had some games that we should have won. I'm just hoping we can have a positive start to this road trip.

what about using grant hill as our PG to run the offense off the bench? of course crawford will still bring the ball out and odom will be our point forward as a playmaker, but once in half court offense we can really use grant's skills, experience to run and execute offense.

We'll need to get a body on Pekovic and not over look this team. Hoping we start out this road trip strong and hope will get billups and cp back soon.

^If not CP then at least CB.

Pek & Shved always kill us.

ATCB need to be ATCB tonight.

I feel this is key, we can't overlook any team in the NBA. I hate when it's obvious we do it and lose games we should win.. gotta start this road trip with a W, it's pretty important to our team I think

Blake tweaked his ankle in warm-ups. He'll play, but probably with some discomfort.

^looks alright to me, same ankle as game vs suns or whenever he sprained it?

I believe so. He's been grimacing here and there. It's all about trusting it. They've re-taped it, but he still has to be confident with it or he'll look like he did the other night. I don't think it's that bad though.

Nice right-handed hook by DJ.

I would have liked a better shot than that to end the quarter.

Clips trail Wolves 25-23 at end of 1.

Blake starting out hot from the field. Hope he can get that elusive triple double tonight and the win of course.

DJ finally has a pulse.

All these wide open shots. :nonono:

That looked like it should have been Minnesota's ball.

Post #17 » by **mkwest** » Thu Jan 31, 2013 1:39 am

We're settling for some bad shots.
