LA Clippers (16-7) VS Detroit (5-19)

[Quake Griffin]

we had 7 TOs in the 1st quarter.

we currently have 11 in the 4th quarter.
big difference.

Pop the champagne. Big Baby dunking the ball and showing us spin moves.

what do you guys think about a potentially healthy CDR?

i think he might actually end up helping the hell out of us.
thoughts?

Definitely. Just needs to stay healthy and get his shot together. He plays like a Matt Barnes lite. That was probably the thinking when we signed him.

[Lindecision]

Right on cue. CDR bingos, gets to the line and gets a couple layups.

I'm not going to get my hopes up, but it would be really nice if he can get it going. He was solid for Charlotte and it would be good if he could replicate that for us.

I'm with you. He can be solid for us. I just don't see it making that much of a difference either way, in terms of getting to the 2nd round or the conference finals. Its why I'm trying to make the case for Lance in the trade thread.

I'm happy that we won this game convincingly. We didn't have a great 1st quarter but really turned things around after that. I had a feeling that doing the game thread would get us back on track, I haven't lost yet when I've done a game thread this season.

Well balanced attack and the bench looked solid. Nice job reserves!!

CDR showed what he could do. Hit spot up three's, attack the basket off the dribble and use length and mobility on defense. If he continues to stay healthy and bring what he brought last season, he might be quite useful.

Very similar in terms of production they bring. Do similar things but in slightly different ways. CDR's slashing off the dribble and ball handling is much better, and if the shooting from last season continues he is a better 3PT shooter. Barnes can get out in transition more, get to the basket as an off-ball cutter and is at least historically / career wise a better rebounder and a bit stronger. Both will compete on defense, Barnes again historically has a better case there.

Hope you're right fam.

Would be nice to get this kind of production from Farmar each game. Shouldn't be asking too much.

nice win!! good job by the second unit. their energy needs to be consistent ever night. glad to see dj showed up.

Unless it's a thriller vs a good team, expect no more than 40 replies in a game thread. That's the way it is now on Clippers realgm.

Nice win and finally we see a decent bench output. I'd like to see Udoh get more mins with Hawes out.

I feel the same.

I was quite pleased when he said he was dealing with achilles soreness. I was even more pleased when he said he finally dunked a basketball. Of course I wasn't happy that another man was injured…but I was happy that maybe the healthy CDR would come provide SOME length, defense and spot up shooting we could not find.

Great to see a healthy CDR on the court! As he showed in the game vs the Pistons, he has good basketball skills and thinks on his feet. CDR can create for himself and doesn't force plays. There is much more to come. I saw it last year in Charlotte. CDR was brought in to contribute to a playoff caliber team, the Clippers. Can't wait to see more!

Couldn't agree more.
