I reckon Collison has a big game

[LoneyROY]

Rivers has a big game tonight to quell the haters momentarily.

Clippers players last 20 games:

Chris Paul:
43% FG / 39% 3PT / 92% FT / 17.9 ppg / 5.0 rpg / 9.6 apg / 2.0 spg / 2.6 tpg / .554 TS%

Blake Griffin:
48% FG / 22% 3PT / 71% FT / 21.7 ppg / 7.7 rpg / 6.0 apg / 1.3 spg / 2.5 tpg / .526 TS%

DeAndre Jordan:
70% FG / 41% FT / 11.4 ppg / 14.8 rpg / 1.0 spg / 1.9 bpg / 1.1 tpg / .650 TS%

J.J. Redick:
49% FG / 47% 3PT / 82% FT / 15.7 ppg / 1.9 rpg / 1.6 apg / 1.4 tpg / .637 TS%

Jamal Crawford:
37% FG / 31% 3PT / 89% FT / 14.8 ppg / 2.3 rpg / 2.5 apg / 1.7 tpg / .513 TS%

Matt Barnes:
48% FG / 42% 3PT / 82% FT / 10.7 ppg / 3.9 rpg / 1.4 apg / 1.2 tpg / .625 TS%

Spencer Hawes (8 games since return):
36% FG / 25% 3PT / 50% FT / 5.3 ppg / 4.4 rpg / 1.3 apg / 0.9 bpg / 0.7 tpg / .425 TS%

Those are all the guys that generally play. At least Hawes' rebounding has been good. Barnes is doing excellently in the role he's asked to do for this team. Redick after his slow start has just been killing it. CP's shooting is down and turnovers are up compared to the start of the season, but 18/5/10 on .550 TS% is still great production. Blake has been a great point forward, but of course we'd still like to see more work inside and less shooting jumpers. Jamal has kind of hit a slump that he hopefully breaks out of. DJ has been doing his job all season long.

Hopefully Ryan Hollins gets a nice pre game video on the big screen and standing ovation in honor of his outstanding two years here

Boogie and Gay are out tonight

DeMarcus Cousins (ankle) will not play against the Clippers on Saturday.

The Kings are in deep trouble tonight against Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan. They played their worst basketball without Cousins and it basically got coach Mike Malone fired. While Boogie is out, it'll be Jason Thompson, Derrick Williams, Ryan Hollins and Reggie Evans picking up the slack.

Rudy Gay (knee) will not play on Saturday vs. the Clippers.

This will be his second straight game on the sidelines, and we will go ahead and consider Gay questionable for Monday against Portland. Derrick Williams will likely draw another start, while newly signed Quincy Miller could get some minutes as well.

I heard that Gay and Cousins may not play. Hopefully our guys haven't heard that yet, I want us to come out ready. So if they get word that this could be an easier game our Clippers may let their guard down. This should be a winnable game, but we know how those have gone lately.

oh god i nearly forgot about this game and didn' even set my fantasy team until i saw this thread 10 minutes ago.

You and the 8 others ahead of me need to forget to set your lineups for about a week straight. I would appreciate it.

[LACtdom]

Chris paul is hurt already
Anyone else think we should have resigned Hollins instead of getting Udoh?

[LACtdom]

Our defense hasn't come out of the locker room yet.

[og15]

Kings killing the glass even though most of them were from 2 possessions

Considering Udoh never plays, yes, if he would actually see the court. There was no Hawes taking minutes last season

hahahahaha

[LACtdom]

Interesting to hear Doc say that the Clippers tried to acquire Austin in the off-season.
Austin is play great (relative to last night), hope he keeps it up.
I would love for this game to be a blowout so we can give CP some rest and give Austin minutes to gel.

[LACtdom]

Barnes proves that sometimes energy/effort is more effective than talent.

i am not sure if its the site or the new layout but i am constantly getting timed out to load this site.

[mkwest]

Barnes came to play tonight for the hometown. Things would be a lot different right now if the Clips could rebound the ball.

Happens to me too. I think RealGM has realised the stupidity of most my posts and is taking action.
