[Neddy]

hope jamal is ready to go but would not want him to rush back. if he ain't 100%, let him rest. it's only the georgia birds.

[ejftw]

Let Craw rest.

Also over the Brand fiasco, but still want Biff to posteriZe him

[azncorruptedo17]

off to a bit of a slow start.

[Neddy]

...both the team and the thread are......

[Neddy]

too bad JJ is out. right now our bench 5 on the floor are

Collison
Jamal
Granger
Hedo
Davis

now that is a championship bench. and we still have dudley, grover, and hollins on the bench as 3rd stringers. IF JJ can come back healthy for the playoff run, we are probably the deepest and most well balanced team in all of NBA.

[Neddy]

... and as soon as i say it, Baby has to go foul somebody for the second time already.....

[og15]

Davis really struggling with those fouls though. Hollins doing a good job filling in so far

YES f'n Elton misses both free throws.

and yeah Ralph, Elton should not be the first clipper jersey to be retired. no way.

[Neddy]

58 to 57, down by 1 at the half.

we need to come out with more urgency and put these birds out of their misery early in 3rd, and let starters rest once again.

[50CALguns]

More Danny Granger, gadammit.

[Quake Griffin]

I'm writing a cross examination for class.

wth.
i didn't watch the 1st half cuz I was sure we'd take care of business.
wtf is going on.

well this was a usual night at the old forum, so hey, a little nostalgia once in a blue moon ain't too bad.

[Ranma]

I was actually worried about this. Things had been going really easy for the team...too easy, where they again are playing down to the level of their competition. Not every team is going to roll over like the Lakers did. I give this short-handed Hawks team credit for competing like they have but the Clippers need to wake up and put in the work and earn this victory.

[Quake Griffin]

What a start for DeAndre in the 2nd half.

[TheNewEra]

We need stops this back and forth action is going to bite us
