Hobbled Clippers continue on the road, coming off big win on the road against Thunder. Big Baby Davis may play. Pelicans have good young talent, but are also dealing with injuries to key players.

Hoping to see big baby get some play time tonight. Now let's sign a back up center.

[qrich]

Big Baby is ready t go! WHOO!

[toooo]

Let's hope Vanilla Hurricane (bg32) comes thru tonight with a big game.

clippers at pedestrians

[senelcoolidge]

Blake getting easy shots, too strong for Davis. But Davis is hot also.

[MichaelCorleone]

Davis vs Blake nice matchup.

[senelcoolidge]

Pelicans have no inside presence. Clippers getting easy points in the paint all night.

[Johnny Jones]

Eric Gordon is such a ****ing scrub... :facepalm

[Johnny Jones]

Love the Rivers and Reke backcourt combination. Wish AD played with them more instead of Roberts/Gordon.

[senelcoolidge]

Austin Rivers is so bad. The only thing he can literally do good is a crossover..that's it.

:roll:

Let me guess... this is the first time you have watched the Pelicans play this year.

[senelcoolidge]

Reggie Bullock should get a lot of minutes tonight. Let the rookie play and develop.

[Johnny Jones]

J-Craw 4 point play :applause: :bowdown:

[Johnny Jones]

Can we just ****ing fire Monty now? Tired of watching this bum coach..

[senelcoolidge]

just go in all day..Pelicans have nothing inside

Lies! Stiemsma is awesome at standing still and watching.

[notatop29pg]

Why won't Blake guard AD?

[senelcoolidge]

Why won't Blake guard AD?

Probably because the refs gave him two quick silly fouls. He can't get in foul trouble.

[JohnMax]

Blake Griffin would really be a better player if he had longer arms. It even holds him back on offense.

[notatop29pg]

Take the midrange J Blake... its only Marcus Camby lite...

[senelcoolidge]

61-53 Clippers

[Johnny Jones]

AD having a better game than Blake so far.

[senelcoolidge]

Blake is too strong for Davis. Davis can only foul him when he gets in too deep.

[senelcoolidge]

Davis getting frustrated with Blake.

[notatop29pg]

Blake is too strong for Davis. Davis can only foul him when he gets in too deep.

True.

It helps a lot when you have a pg that knows where to get you the ball. Brian Roberts doesn't even look in AD's direction until its about 5 secs too late.

[Johnny Jones]

Davis getting frustrated with Blake.
No, AD is just having his typical bad quarter.

Not to take anything away from Blake tho.

[senelcoolidge]

Blake 9 points in 4 minutes..that was fast.

[longhornfan1234]

Is CP3 done? He's been playing horribly since he came back.

[notatop29pg]

No, AD is just having his typical bad quarter.

Not to take anything away from Blake tho.

I describe it more as - The quarter and a half of EVERY game where Roberts/Gordon/Aminu etc decide that AD doesn't exist.

[senelcoolidge]

playing hurt

[notatop29pg]

Only Demons knows the answer..

[senelcoolidge]

Blake gets punched and hit a lot..but i don't think that was a flagrant on Ajinca.

[notatop29pg]

Pretty hard to avoid that kind of thing when you have 3 foot elbows

[senelcoolidge]

What happened to Tyreke..he should be balling..he's turned into a piece of crap. Just regressing every year.

[Quizno]

epic flop by blake griffin

[Johnny Jones]

CP3 and Blake are both ****ing *******.

[notatop29pg]

And that right there is why you are hated Blake.

[senelcoolidge]

Austin Rivers travels (palms ball) just dribbling up the court. Too bad the refs don't follow the rule book.

[senelcoolidge]

And that right there is why you are hated Blake.

hated for something that Lebron and others do much more often.

[notatop29pg]

hated for something that Lebron and others do much more often.

And they get similar amounts of hate, it's all justified. Lebron and Blake in particular...

[senelcoolidge]

keep shooting tyreke..i can't believe in 5 years he hasn't developed a jump shot. get off the drugs.

[notatop29pg]

Clippers are looking good.

Problem is, come playoffs Barnes and Crawford won't be hitting all those 3's, they will get angry and have brain explosions/tough guy turnovers and it will all fall on CP3 again.

I hope it's different for Pauls sake but...

As far as the playoffs they just need to be healthy. The last two years injuries were the reasons they were knocked out of the playoffs. Davis should help the front court depth. They still need another piece.

No denying the injuries played a big role.

They still had plenty of opportunities though. So much talent, but those low iq guys let them down A LOT at critical moments ie Barnes technical, collision dribbling off his feet or standing out of bounds on wide open 3's (at least twice a game).

The key will be Blake playing with confidence.

[Young X]

Chris Paul has 36 assists to only 2 turnovers his last 3 games...

Glen Davis won't help that much. Clippers need a verteran big who can score in the post.

[notatop29pg]

I like the way Doc is pretty much trying to build a modern day version of CP3's old Hornets teams..

DJ - Chandler = Defense/rebounding/lobs
BG - West = Mid range/post game/pic and roll partner
Dudley - Peja = Slow ass stand and shoot open 3's kinda guy
Reddick - Mo Pete = Shooter
Crawford - Pargo = It's a reach, but pure scorer type role
Turkoglu/Barnes - Rasual Butler = Another shooter

Blake is the key. He's been playing with more confidence this year. He's improve a lot. Even when he's not looking to score he needs to set his picks, rebound, and he's an excellent passer for his position. Do the things that help his team win.

[qrich]

Biff is too strong for Brow

[bdreason]

Griffin trying to pull a CP3 bitch move with the dribble protect. :oldlol:

[navy]

Chris Paul has 36 assists to only 2 turnovers his last 3 games...
The way he doesn't turn the ball over is insane.

[Johnny Jones]

Biff is too strong for Brow
In a halfcourt setting AD has done a really nice job on Blake.

[notatop29pg]

Biff is too strong for Brow

I'm stronger than most 20yr olds I know too. Blakes a grown man.

[qrich]

Ajinca has impressed me more in the half court.


I'm stronger than most 20yr olds I know too. Blakes a grown man.

Are you in the NBA as well and being told are vastly inferior to said 20 year olds? :facepalm

[Johnny Jones]

Ajinca has impressed me more in the half court.




:biggums: :biggums:

[senelcoolidge]

davis mad got the tech. i'd be mad at his teammates..bums like tyreke evans, eric gordon austin rivers..

[notatop29pg]

Are you saying AD isn't vastly superior to other 20yr olds in the NBA?

The strength will come, the kid only started lifting weights last season.

[notatop29pg]

davis mad got the tech. i'd be mad at his teammates..bums like tyreke evans, eric gordon austin rivers..

I think he is, it's probably better to take it out on a ref.

I don't mind a bit of spirit from AD.

[qrich]

Yes, that is exactly what I'm saying.....

[Johnny Jones]

You can tell AD is ****in pissed at his teammates..I feel bad for him

[qrich]

CP getting his shooting touch back.

DJ is just a beast. 14/16 with 4 blocks. :eek:

Blake with 22 on 6-12 but only 4 rebounds. Blame DJ I suppose :D.

JCraw has been fiyah from range. I'd consider bringing JJ off the bench at this point

[notatop29pg]

Yes, that is exactly what I'm saying.....

I don't know all of the 20yr olds currently going around :)

But I know very few have done what AD is doing.

Crawford needs to save it for the playoffs, I thnk JJ is better as starter coz he actually needs CP3 in order to get his shots.

[Johnny Jones]

This is what happens when AD gets the ball.

Craw has been hot and I wouldn't mess it up if I were the coach.

Collison - JJ - Granger/Dudley/Turkoglu - Davis - Hollins is a solid bench mob.

Are they def getting Granger? I'd start him over Barnes. Cp3 loves having shooters around him

[senelcoolidge]

good game

[longhornfan1234]

Is CP3 done? He's been playing horribly since he came back.
:facepalm


Sorry for you doubting you, CP3 aka Point God. :bowdown:

[All Net]

DJ with 14 points, 16 boards.

love what Deandre's has done this year.
