3/5 Atlanta at L.A. Clippers 

Post#1 » by HMFFL » Sat Mar 5, 2016 5:13 pm

Same hotel, Same City, Same Venue, Different Team.

Our players should be rested considering last night's game.
The LAC will be a nice test for us on this back to back day. The Clippers won the previous meeting and are currently riding a three game win streak where they beat the Kings, Nets, and Thunder.

The Clippers are favored to win by 5 points.

Hehe. Battle of the teams with disgraced ex-owners...

Battle of the coaches with too much personnel power...

This team looks so helpless against the Clippers. Thank goodness we don't play in the Western Conference or we'd probably get swept in the first round (or lose in 5).

12-2 run cuts it to 5.

Teague seemed to turn some switch on there in the second. I hope he keeps it going.

I was so close to just going to bed after that 1st quarter. I'm glad I stayed up to watch this team fight their way back in this game.

I can't shake this feeling that Millsap is going to end up adding another miss to his anti-clutch record tonight..

Great win! We were one terribly officiated OT away from being 3-0 on this road trip.

That 3rd quarter against GSW in Phillips was a season turning point for this team.

Nice lil LA sweep. Only figures that the Hawks would blow the Clippers away on the boards, they're one of the few teams within shouting distance of the rebound rankings.

Best win of the season? Nice staples sweep by the Hawks. Clippers could do no wrong for the majority of the first half but the Hawks weathered the storm. Nice win.

Great win against one of the better teams out West. Even more impressive on the second night of a back-to-back.

I couldn't stay up to watch, but it was nice to wake up and see the W. Going to watch the replay later today. Seems like we're building some momentum.

I fell asleep in the third, but korver looks to be shooting well again. Humphries shows what can happen with 1 guy willing to do the dirty work. He's not an elite athlete or anything but his nose for the ball is something this team needs.

Did well vs DJ too.

Onto the next
