We should win this one. We just need to keep playing well and build off that win against the Lakers. We want positive momentum going into the playoffs.

Ladies and gentlemen, DeAndre Jordan.

We've had a good start, Blake looking good

I like how Willie has been playing lately

I've grown kind of fond of Motown Willie.

For as well as we played and as poor as the Twolves shot we're only up 26-20. Pekovic killed us in the 1st. I hope that we can build up a nice lead at some point.

26-20 Clippers after 1. Solid first, but it seems that we could have done better given the start. It's great to see both Blake and Paul active early. Paul has 4 points and 6 assists, while Blake has 10 points on 5 of 8 shooting.

not liking the pace at all

I wish Odom would shoot better from the free throw line this year

I was a little surprised that Hollins didn't get called there, but sure enough he gets called on the 2nd shot contest.

Hollins.... :sigh:

need to be more physical.

Post #16 » by **thanumba2clippersfan** » Thu Apr 11, 2013 3:17 am

I'm glad Blake is back in, we need some offense. Crawford isn't really shooting for some reason.

Post #17 » by **mkwest** » Thu Apr 11, 2013 3:19 am

Minny is already in the penalty? 7:40 to go in the 2nd.

Nice find by Barnes, Crawford hits the open 3

We should of been posting up Bled on JJ. Team has to blow this open eventually

Clippers coming up with some steals resulting in dunk by Blake Griffin. I can't believe he has 17 points already.
