Qs Quote:
Despite the season starting sooner, it has still been a long way coming. Even moreso when you consider that nearly every other franchise has already played their first games. Injuries prevented the Clippers from consistent play during the preseason, which was needed with the roster turnover coming in as only Sacramento retained less minutes per game.
Beverly versus Lonzo will be a match-up to keep an eye on, as will Lou facing off with the team that traded him last year.

Early to say, but this is a MUST WIN game for the clippers.

Like...extremely important.

The margin for error with this team has shrunken considerably, and we just cannot afford to give away games that we should win.

No injuries please

I think it's important for Blake, esp if it comes down to the last 2 minutes, to put the team on his back and carry it home. This is Blake's team now, or should be.

Some very sloppy play in the 1st, but a nice run to close it out.

So, has the transformation to Paul Pierce 2.0 begun for Blake Griffin yet? 2/3 from 3-point range right now.

We got a lot of offensive depth that's for sure. It feels like there will always be a lineup out there that has some scorers.

I like seeing Blake initiating facing the basket.

I don't really get it, why would Paul Pierce be the player to mention?

I was able to watch the 2nd quarter. We look of offensively and we can do better defensively. I probably won't watch the 2nd half, I have too much to do in the morning. This looks like a game we should win unless we go cold on offense.
I've been an LA Clipper fan since 1998 and that will never change. I hate our new logo and jerseys!

Griffin has been going away from the rim since Doc took over. With Paul gone, I think Griffin is permanently a perimeter player. Paul Pierce was mostly a perimeter player in his playing days. Even Kenny Smith said during the half time report Griffin once used to be a guard. Was he a guard in high school or college?

Did Marv say that Teodosic never really had a good touch or did I hear that incorrectly?
