glad we won. woke up at 430 this morning for work, on less than 2 hours of sleep. so i came home and passed out all afternoon.

how did jamison look? has to be better than watching mullens try to play the role of a "big"? i hope?

121-82 win. That's more like it. Everybody has been yearning for one of these. Most of our games have been close. Our margin of victory has been relatively small. Obviously, the Bulls aren't at full strength with Rose sidelined indefinitely and with Turf Toe, but that hasn't meant much for us this season. So on back-to-back matinee's, there's a lot to be pleased with. For me, I knew that we were going to score a lot, but I'm glad to see us score and only give up 82 points. This is only the 3rd win (4th game overall) where the opponent scored less than 100.

A couple days off until the next game. This type of win should serve as motivation in upcoming practices. Everyone played well for the most part with few mistakes.

Hollins messed up the perfect 40!

Pardon for the noobie question but what's that?
Dudley having a good game,if he starts to get it going then this team will be unstoppable on O

We won by 39 if Hollins does not hang on rim and get tech its 40. Just joking nitpicking.

Jamison made the bench defense, rebounding and effort so much better.

I'm glad that we were able to get a blow out victory on a back to back. I joined in just at half time. I was listening on the radio and it seemed like an easy time on offense. It was a good sports day for me so I'm happy.

Some fun numbers after this game:

2nd Ortg - 110.9 (Miami #1 - 114.2)
22nd Drtg - 106.2
5th SOS - 2.10
3rd SRS - 6.70 (#1 San Antonio, #2 Miami)
16th DRB% - 74.4% (league average = 74.4%)
17th opponent eFG% - .500 (league average = .494)

That SRS number, that is good company . Miami's offense is insane, but it is good to be #2, and remember Clippers have the lowest FT% of all the really good offenses. Good to see the defensive numbers approaching league average, as opposed to being terrible. Fouling is still the biggest limiting factor, but an upward trend is what we want.

Hopefully this win means more minutes for AJ.

Clippers moving in right direction

"Doc calls it 'coach's porno,'" Clippers guard J.J. Redick said. "The stuff that gets me excited is the multiple stops in a row, which we've been able to put together for quarters at a time like the first quarter against Sacramento, the third quarter at Houston, the third quarter at Orlando. We've had these quarters where we hold teams in the teens, and that's how our defense is supposed to look. If we can put that together for a whole game -- and a whole stretch of games -- we'll be rolling."

"My role here is like my role anywhere else, which is to be a glue guy," Dudley said. "A guy that's good in the locker room. A lot of games are won and lost in the locker room. Sometimes, teams don't have the chemistry, and I'm a guy that gets along with everybody. I joke around and have a good time and go out to dinners, and that helps a lot when it comes to chemistry. On the court, I'm someone who likes to space the floor and lets our stars be stars."

Redick had heard the Clippers locker room was close when he came to the team in the offseason, but he couldn't have imagined how close it would be until the season started. "My wife made a point to me after the game when she said, "I don't think you've ever been on a team where we're waiting in the family room and literally every single guy comes in and says hello by name to every single wife and every single kid,'" Redick said. "I hate to use a cliché, but it is a family atmosphere. We have good guys in this locker room. It's a pleasure to be a part of it."

Two of Paul's assists to Redick were not assists, Redick definitely created those baskets himself. The guy recording the stats was asleep, lol

Them losing to the Jazz kind of made the win a little depressing. We needed the win so it is what it is I guess.
