We have to be able to beat these guys, right? Even just looking at the starting lineup comparison, the Clippers should have a decent advantage, but with how they've been playing, I don't even know anymore.

Who would've thought Hawks would be 8-7 and us 5-10 coming into this match-up.

Could this be the game that ends Doc's tenure?

No one, because the Hawks are not 8-7, they are 3-14, and Clippers are 5-11, not 5-10. I will edit the title

Hopefully we end our losing streak and don't extend it to double digits.

Does that guy from Hawks have any relations to Corey Magette?
The hawks announcer keeps pronouncing his name "Mah-Jett"

Did Lou's buzzer beater count?

I don't know how it's pronounced but there's only 1 "g" in his name. Corey has 2.

It'll be waived off.

nope

this is painful
no trace of D

Juwan is -11, no answer there
Lou has 5 assists, good idea to start him

A simple pocket bounce pass off the pick and roll man. It literally turns our offense into an elite one. Too bad no one other than Lou Williams can efficiently deliver one

other than the last Lou's buzzer beater(that didn't count), this game so far has been a disappointment.

glad we are not losing yet, at least... unlike other games......

LMAO @ the Hawk's arena announcer saying "that foul was OFFENSIVE!"

Lou Williams should have been the starter the whole time. I know they wanted to establish him at the 6th man, but should have just started him. Hopefully we can beat the sucky Hawks.

up by 4 after 3

held ATL to 21 in the 3rdQ

good point, although in hindsight it makes perfect sense but if the reverse had happened, there would have been a major outcry against such move from FAN faction of this forum aka fans against nepotism, and plus with Lou's career minutes per game stats since mid 20s, a sudden increase in playing starter minutes against opposing teams' starters for the most part rather than 6th man minutes against 2nd units mostly, could have led to Lou being injured and being out for season over MIlos/Beverly so who knows... :banghead:

all just a part of being a clippers fan for life. RIP LA Sports Arena my old rat hole discount rate worst NBA arena of all time, or at least since the late 70s. RIP Malik Sealy, RIP Lorenzen Wright, RIP Bison Dele, RIP careers of what could have been if drafted elsewheres' such as Bo Kimble, Gary Grant, Danny Manning, Benoit Benjamin, Kandi, or having to deal with the lovechild of an owner between Mr. Burns from the Simpsons and Christmas Carol's Mr. Scrooge for most of our existence under the name "Clippers".

Was Austin considered the "PG" in the starting lineup tonight? With Austin and Lou, there isn't a real PG, it's just two ball handlers
