This is not a mirage. The Clippers have actually won a game

It's hard for me to say, so many players played great tonight. Can we just give this one to the whole team?

Ah, I almost forgot we did these things! But I'm givin it to Brian Skinner, cuz he was on point throughout the game. Shot well from the floor and played defense. Never, ever, ever thought one of these things would mention Brian Skinner! Haha. It was a good overall team effort, like #2 said, but if it had to go to anyone, my vote is B-Skin.

It is really hard. There's been a few others time when it's a really close call.

Like JJ I had to go with Skinner. He's scored about 1/5 of his total points on the season tonight and tied for our leading scorer. He was finishing around the basket with consistency and I'm shocked whenever he makes anything up close. He's been like the Derek Fisher of big men down low. The defense and blocks are a part of his regular game, but also served as icing on the cake.

Thornton would have been my second choice with him coming out of his comfort zone and contributing on both sides while not actually scoring.

Since I had a night to sleep on my decision I'm also going with Skinner. He played great last night and when's the last time he scored 18 points? He was a key part in our victory last night.

Skinner and Collins are tied IMO
