I'm gonna be honest. I'm watching the HOU lead balloon up to like 14 and I'm going to turn it off and hope they come back. I'd rather play video games or something. This is pure torture watching them lose so many games in a row.

There's this new streaming app I'm trying. I can't get the game to work but I already see that we're down by a lot. I'll keep trying to see if it will work. Based on how things have gone for us lately I won't be too optimistic about this game.

Clippers have cut a 25 point deficit to 14. Halftime will most likely be against us and stop our momentum.

I finally got something to work, so while I wasn't watching Doc got ejected. I guess he didn't want much to do with this game today.

Rockets get a season high with 74 points in the first half.

Back to back 37 point quarters is horrible defense.

I think Doc is getting as frustrated as us with this losing streak.

I'm not that surprised we let the Rockets score 74 points in the half, I thought they'd score 60+ on us in the 1st half.

Clippers cut the lead down to 6! With a minute left in the 3rd. Austin being ejected has been a blessing.

Clippers down by 10 to end the 3rd. We scored 41 points in the 3rd thanks to Felton and DJ. I think fatigue will catch up to us but it has been quite an effort.

I saw that we were within 6 but now the Rockets pushed the lead back up to 15

At this point I hope we don't give up 150 points

I don't expect us to win much anytime soon. I guess we just have to endure the losing until we get healthy enough. I don't know where we'll be in the standing, but hopefully we can pull out some wins. It sucks that CP3 and JJ have hamstring injuries.

Hopefully the team will surprise us and win somehow tomorrow.

The Austin ejection was probably not necessary, not that it made a difference. This game was just out of hand, but good try by Felton, he was making some big shots, but he could only take it so far.

Sooo...Thunder tomorrow night, should be interesting

ah where to begin? first doc does not have the players on the floor to beat Houston so his son gets ejected he can't coach the rest so he thinks I am out here. not my fault then says he did not use profanity, really. he needs to watch the replay. in my mind he needs to go. he is more interested in Austin than the team. the person most effected by this is jj. it appears that Austin does not really care to pass to jj or get the pass to him in time. perhaps since it is a contract year for jj it could be by design. it would be great for Austin if jj underperforms and gets moved. just thinking. without cp3 it is just aau ball. I just could not watch and turned it off after the 3rd. also half the time dj was just standing around and appeared not to be interested and where was jamal. felton was really trying but why not every game. to many ball hogs and doc is clueless. I see a rebuild coming and maybe it would be the best for everyone.

Return to Los Angeles Clippers
