Clippers trail 15-29 at the end of one, even after ending the quarter on a 4-0 run.
Thornton got the Clippers a bucket and then Kaman finally hit his first after 8 attempts. This game isn't out of reach yet, as it's barely 25% of the way through, but missing 27% of the line-up, Clippers are going to need to play near perfect basketball the rest of the way and go on some 4-0/5-0/6-0 runs to get back into this game.
This game is done. Clippers have a horrendous unit on the court, without anyone who has scoring ability. Dickau, Cat, Frahm can shoot, but only Cat can create and he's hurt + old. Thornton is still young, and Davis, although he provides great hustle, is a little too soft.
Clippers playing well, but can't play defense. On top of that, everytime a shot is put up by the Clippers, the only red jersey in the key is Chris, everyone else is running away.
Clippers trail 57-44 at the end of the first half.
After 25% of the game, Clippers trailed by 14, and since that time, they have a 1point advantage. Losing 26.7% of the line-up, kind have makes you wonder if that has anything to do with it. Kaman having a horrible half, but still has 14 points, 9 rebounds, 2 dimes with a steal and turned it over twice. Davis got 6/3/1 in 9 minutes of action, and didn't even play in the 2nd quarter, what the hell Dunleavy? Dickau-Frahm and Thornton are solid on offense, but iffy on defense. Maggette needs to step it up like I thought he would and Kaman needs to calm down and play like he has all season.
no one is in this clipper forum... its funny how when things are good.. people flock in, but when gloom sets in.. the room becomes desolate...
If next draft clippers gain Mayo, Beasley, Rose or whoever it may be.. Im sure they will all come runnin,
Foul Loyalty
Eh, me, aide, hutch and daboy are the only ones who have stuck through, so can't say it's just been me. Clipps as well but don't know where he went.
Clipper Darrell might post here pretty soon, I have been talking to him, and he said he might come in here and there. Hopefully it livens it up.
My other sport teams: Braves, Packers, Red Wings, Bruins, Galaxy, AC Milan, CSKA Moscow and Olympiakos so I'm well used to celebrating, if only Clippers could have been healthy same with the Bruins squads and the Galaxians.

Its nice to see loyalty but I guess with a small amount of them.. it does get lonely.....
Clipper Darrell, really.. that would be rather cool..
Dont worry with Dunlevy at the helm, im sure the clips will right their ship...
I for one, honest to be.. am a laker fan.. so its hard to post in two forums
Not to mention that I am a bit lethargic in my own Laker forum
Unless Clippers play some picture perfect basketball, this game is done. A team which is one of the best at hitting free throws is 66.7% from the line thus far tonight. Davis is playing his ass off and playing the best out of anyone in a red uniform. Sammy's swagger is being greatly missed.
With 2:29 left in the third, Lakers lead 79-68 with Kobe shooting two after the break.
Maggette has turned it up, but is it too late? Will anyone else step up? let's wait and see. Clippers are on a 10-2 run right now pending what occurs with Bryants free throws
At the end of three, Clippers cut the lead to 76-82.
Maggette has been the best player hands down in the third quarter. Let's see if he keeps up this intensity in the fourth and the Clippers can keep playing well
