Since it's Martin Luther King Day I just ask for everyone to take a little time and think about the impact that the man made on this country. That is all, now let's beat those Celtics!

I wonder which random player will go off for the Celtics. It seems that every team the Clippers play has some random guy go off for 30 and 15 even if the Clippers manage to win the game. It is quite infuriating!

I think Austin Rivers goes off w/ 17 pts + 8 assists

Hopefully Blake and DJ are ready to defend the perimeter, bc Sullinger and Olynyk can both knock down the 3 ball.

can we beat any eastern conference teams at home?

Hopefully our "possibly All Stars " start playing like all stars.

Watch Marcus Thornton go off for 40!

Without a pure small forward, the Clippers will have to live with that. It's also a scouting problem because they only do research on the players who they think are going to play the most minutes.

I don't care if he has a zero on every single stat category. It's the defense I'm interested in. The real stats you want to look into, once I catch up, are Preventions.

Ralph just announced that we've lost the same number of Homes games as we did all last season. Let's turn staples in our fortress starting with tonight.

DJ should just bank them all in.

That's what Mike said during the telecast of the last game.

Plus, it's not as embarrassing as the Rick Barry free-throws. Who cares what it looks like if it's effective?

Joakim Noah would still have a weirder shot than DJ if he banked every one of his.

Man why did we stop playing D? We could crush Boston if didn't give them so many open looks

I've always thought that about him, don't understand why he doesn't do it.

You can make a long list of guys with quirky mannerisims/routines. I know that the shooting coach can't condone improper form, but whatever works. Part of me still feels like he should consider switching hands. Anything different than what he's been doing lol

I'm glad that we have a 10 point lead at the half. Too bad it's not more than 10.
