Here's hoping you're up a C-note by the end of the night.
I'm still thinking we get blown out though.

That was a GREAT look- a wide open 3 by Butler- can't ask for more than that....
it's not needed though get to the basket and at worst hope to get a O-Reb. Not only did the ball movement stop no one looked to attack.
That was a designed play with Kaman giving the screen so Butler can get an open 3. It's always great to get to the hoop, draw fouls, etc, but it's also a high % play when you can get a 3 point shooter an open 3, especially for a guy who's had the hot hand for the game. |

So true. It was so funny that, late in the game during a time out, Mark Jackson said he would stop going to Kaman and do something different. What did we do? Stand around trying to force it into Kaman until we ended up with a turn over. Thank goodness the Nuggets executed worse than us in the 4th quarter. |

| Also didnt like the rotation after halftime play starters heavy during the third and start the bench for the fourth. Dunleavy has to stop doing that it never works and almost cost us the game. Make a mix spread the starters throughout the third and get them enough rest where they can start the fourth. Dunleavy had a strong unit with DJ and Telfair in the first half don't let them sit that long keep them going. DJ slumped hard in the fourth and Tefair wasn't the same but decent. |

LOL, do you hear the Fire Dunleavy chants! haha
I noticed before the game ended...they showed Dunleavy and it looked like he was was getting ready to call a time-out, he was hesitating...then he's getting ready to do it and you see Lucas come in and grab his arm and puts it down. |

I totally agree. That's my only real complaint with this game. Some of the bench players should have come in much earlier in the 3rd quarter. I really don't like Dunleavy's strategy of having all 2nd unit guys start the 4th quarter. The Lakers almost always have at least one starter in with the subs, whether its Kobe, Gasol or Artest. Jackson did the same thing with the Bulls. Dun really should consider the same approach. |

It hurts more so since the team doesn't have an established 6th man yet. A 6th man can control the bench unit as either the guidence player (James Posey type) or as the go to scoring punch while the rest of the bench is energy (J.R. Smith type) support. |

Totally unexpected win. Once again our opponent had options to win the game in the last period after having leads by more than 15 points. That's something we must take care. Today we were lucky those 3 point balls from Rasual and Baron got in but it won't happen always. We shouldn't afford the other teams to comeback this way but well I guess we are already used...
By the way our BENCH NEED MORE MINUTES. Players like Telfair and Craig Smith should see at least 20 minutes per night. It's very important to involve more players in the game and I feel we aren't tking advantage on having such good players in our bench |

I totally agree our bench needs more minutes. Both Bassy and Craig can change the course of a game.
I also hope Rasual can stay in the 6th man role and provide a spark like in tonights game.
We had the typical 4th quarter letdown but luckily pulled out a win tonight. i wish we had more nationally televised games to put some drive into the players. |

Great game today, I wanted to post in the game thread but:
1. I was recording the game (yes, I have the highlights of the crazy crossovers and moves Telfair did.. which probably won't end up on the highlights knowing NBA.com)
2. I'm usually so focused on watching the game, I don't think to post.. LOL! I'm usually like, in a hypnotized state when watching Clipper games.
I've always had faith in Rasual and Ricky, and every night I see them contribute is a good night in my book. The bench was what sparked us- I think without that 19-0 run this game would have ended up as a blowout. Deandre Jordan was AWESOME |

taped the game, just finished watching it, a few comments:
at the 2:47 mark, best play ALL SEASON I've seen from Kaman. Feed down to Kaman, he takes objection to a hard bump from Martin and goes RIGHT at him and gets a hard foul. Only hits one free throw but then gets a HUGE defensive rebound. THIS is what we need from Kaman. We need fire, we need him to take it at everyone and have an attitude. Guy is a 80% free throw shooter and we NEED him to get to the line.
While I LOVED that from Kaman, he's just TERRIBLE at defense. Other than the bad pass breakaway for Nene, Kaman was dominated on th defensive end. Refused to challenge shots on at least 4 occasions. Just a liability on the defensive end. This is the exact reason I think we move him now.
2nd squad play GREAT in quarter 2, and honestly Dunleavy needs to get them in BEFORE the start of quarter 4. Bassy was just ballin tonight on O but made some crucial errors that made his great game look a little flawed. Overall though, 2nd squad was really impressive, like DJ and his action on both the 1 and 2 squad. Just needed them in Q3 and not Q4.
Say what you want, but Baron Davis won that game. He shot terrible, but still did not take bad shots when it counted and hit the shots he needed to. In general though, THIS is how we win games. First three quarters we ran, and we ran them into the ground. Even the 2nd squad (Bassy) just ran at them. I really hope Dun say how well we played when we ran at them, it was beauty. Only issues is when we played slow down 4Q Dun ball.
Overall evaluation from this game, BD is still a leader and he needs to be let loose!!!
Good win all around. Credit to everyone, BD, Kaman, Al played well, 2 bad shots but converted, Camby just a presence on D, Bassy with the game of his life, Cookie was solid and DJ showed real maturity (other than one bad dribble but still got the dunk out of it)
this team can win, just LET THEM PLAY!!!! |

Now that we've seen how this team can really play, let's go clippers! This was one of the funnest games I've watched of us in a looong time. The hustle and energy was there. But I'm wondering "Where has that been the whole season?" I can't help but to think that since it was nationally televised, they didn't want to lose badly like with the Laker game last year. But I don't care what made them come out with extra energy, it gave us the win. This is the kind of win that will boost confidence and make them come out and play every night with this intensity. Everybody gave 100% and who would've thought that Collins would be this useful for us? His D on Melo was great. And just imagine when Blake and Eric come back. wow.
I know its just one win, but it was against a title contending team, which will bring up the morale and stick with us the rest of the season. This win was big for us! |

Butler's shot is back.
Butler was critical. They had it down to 2, but them he hit that three that gave us a little more cushion. Notice how the Nuggs never got the lead back, and we all know that once the other team has the lead in the 4th, there's some kind of hex that keeps us from getting it back. Anyway, great game by Butler! |

| In snow country a "nugget' is a moose t*rd. They shellac them and sell them for cheap jewelry Speaking of a shellacking t*rds, the guy who really won the game was the CAKEMAN. Their game was "anybody but CK" He got doubles real quick. For the first time we had someone to make them pay. Butler. With EJ gone so was our outside presence. Now we may have two shooters. Ricky wasn't bad either. He had two rim out and the Alley Oops should have been a pass CK's footwork should be good enough to handle Nene. He took it to KMart took a hard shot and shook it off. No turnovers and hustle. This may be the rule now we got a taste of blood. |

| It was great to see this team play with energy and enthusiasm, especially at the defensive end... Much better than the way the usual lack of energy they bring... I guess they feared getting embarrassed on national Tv, but are comfortable getting embarrassed on local TV... I hope this singals a change in effort level. |

btw, did we seriously contain Billups to 5 points and jr smith to 9?
i couldnt believe it either, but butler, baron, bassy, and ricky were playing excellent perimeter defense. and damn mardy collins does great defense on the otehr teams superstar SF. last year it was pierce, now anthony. he striped anthony like 3 times when he was going to the rim for an easy 2 + 1. |

Kaman SUCKS!!! If you watched the game last night and really analyzed it you will know what I mean... So many errors and he can't play DEFENSE to save his life!!! (Still MISSES EASY Layups LOL) And to SOME GUYS here who even attempt or have attempted to compare him to Dwight Howard are obviously in DENIAL and seriously need to be educated about the Game of Basketball!!! You Guys CRACK me up when you compare these two guys!!! Dwight is CLEARLY the BETTER PLAYER!!! NOT EVEN A CLOSE COMPARISON!!!
And to those of you that disagreed with me (You Know who you guys are) about Baron Making the game easier for Kaman, i sure hope you saw what i was talking about while watching the Memphis game and if not watch the game again Today and you'll see what i mean!!! IF you Carefully ANALYZE the Game you'll see that Baron Sets Up Kaman for SO MANNY EASY SHOTS!!! but TOO BAD Kaman CAN"T FINISH) LoL
Well Anyways Good LUCK to The Clippers because they'll Seriously Need it!!!
(Hopefully Kaman Doesn't Get Shut Down LoL)
as of now, Kaman is more of an MVP the dwight is THIS season. without kaman, we would be 0-14. thats almost guaranteed. and dude, dwight howard is the biggest moocher alive. the only grabs alleys and stuff like that, which require the help of another player, primarily their PG. you contradict yourself if you say kaman needs the PG, when dwight wouldnt score 10 pts a game without a PG. kaman can shoot for himself, post up by himself, and finish with either hand. without the Pg, kaman would have still been averaging a good 17 pts. |

| Baron took 11 shots, like he was doing in pre-season... This team is better when he concentrates on facilitating, not scoring... He also made an effort defensively last night. A nice change. |

I think Kaman wanted more touches. He made a shot and then Denver called a timeout. He looked kinda mad... We were winning though, I don't see why we needed to give him so many touches.

4 things we shouldnt overlook:
ricky buckets continues to silently impress.
deandre held his own (and then some)against kenyon.
craig smith and al thornton did well to frustrate carMElo.
dunleavy taking ras out of the starting lineup so he could match up with jr smith - who came off the bench as well. (completely shut him down) |

| i also think its safe to say that bassy's hustle/intensity/selfishness inspired BOTH the 1st and 2nd team. that was the turning point of the game - without it we'd have lost by 30. when the 1st team came back on the court, they KNEW they had to keep up the pace. |

and that, topbuzz, is what happens when players show up to play.
now clean up your foggy lenses and support this entire squad.
How so the team almost loss this game and played in the same fashion as we have in previous games start strong early (if at all) and lose focus and hustle as the game goes on. This was a nice win but by no means should this game by a "Clipper Blueprint" so to speak. Dunleavy played the starters hard during the third as usual and the lost momentum and energy as the quarter weared down and lost majority of the lead and as usual he had to start the bench to begin the 4th and as usual the Clippers lost ground (DJ who was ice cold after being on the bench so long was very rusty he needs consistent playing time he isn't Novak). The Clippers still need better hustle, rotation, and playcalling to close out games (espcially after halftime) this was like watching the Raptors or any other game we had before.
If the refs call the hard fouls Clippers made to recover on D after half-time this game is a Clipper choke job we lose games like these 9/10 times don't believe me look at our record. Even in the fourth quarter our O and D looked off-beat we couldn't create smart shots and most of them were bad shots that went in. We stuck to the same game plan rather than making adjustments which bites us more times than it helps. |

Im not trying to take anything away from Rasual, his D was fine, but it was pretty clear JR had no desire to play last night. Even Marc Jackson was talking about it on ESPN; he said someone on the Nugs needed to step up and tell JR to get his head in the game cuz they needed his production on the court. Aside from his attack and 360 layup though, JR really acted like he didnt want to play at all last night.
My favorite point of yours though was in regards to DJ. He really was a nice spark off the bench. I swear we average about 1-2 dunks per game, so it was nice to have DJs monster dunks to pump up the team and the crowd. This is another reason Griffin is going to be huge for us even on nights he doesnt do much. His dunks keep the team and crowd interested and amped. |

It was great to see this team play with energy and enthusiasm, especially at the defensive end... Much better than the way the usual lack of energy they bring... I guess they feared getting embarrassed on national Tv, but are comfortable getting embarrassed on local TV... I hope this singals a change in effort level.
They definitely did real well despite Kaman being doubled, but at least he reacted well and made those doubling scenarios turn into assists for him. Thornton had a good scoring effort, and as you said Baron didn't shoot too much and played D. Not complaining about the win. It was great, but I would love to see more wins like this without a "lightning in a bottle" performance from Rasual Butler. Take away his 27 point performance and we would have lost, and since we haven't seen that type of performance consistently from Rasual I wonder how many of those wins we will get. I guess my point is that I would love to see these guys win with a more blanced performance, not one in which one guy goes balls out (especially a guy that you know isn't capable of doing it night in and night out like Rasual). Great win though |

| Butler's a ten point a game man, but it's good having guys who can come in and have big nights... You only expect your stars to have it almost every night, but guys like Butler and Smith are both capable of having 25 point nights once in awhile... Bassy too... Every once in a while it's okay if one of these guys steps up and carries you... Especially until Gordon gets back. |

| Yeah it is a nice surprise. I just can't wait till we get Gordon back, so we can have games like Butlers on a more consistent basis. Then I think that can equate to more wins as well. It's like you said Butler is a ten point per game man. It was amazing how good a team can be when just one guy plays his heart out |

Now that we've seen how this team can really play, let's go clippers! This was one of the funnest games I've watched of us in a looong time. The hustle and energy was there. But I'm wondering "Where has that been the whole season?" I can't help but to think that since it was nationally televised, they didn't want to lose badly like with the Laker game last year. But I don't care what made them come out with extra energy, it gave us the win. This is the kind of win that will boost confidence and make them come out and play every night with this intensity. Everybody gave 100% and who would've thought that Collins would be this useful for us? His D on Melo was great. And just imagine when Blake and Eric come back. wow.
I know its just one win, but it was against a title contending team, which will bring up the morale and stick with us the rest of the season. This win was big for us!
I think the difference in this game is communication. You constantly saw the players talking when the ball was in play or not! |

I just remembered that Carmelo was the one who suckerpunched Mardy that one time. Perhaps it was the vengeance that motivated his D? |

I don't think Butler's game was a fluke. They were leaving him open. They had to keep CK, AL and Baron outta the paint. It was a turkey shoot (not that I'd call the Nuggets turkeys  ). Gordon wouldn't have helped more because we needed an outside shooter and Butler was hot. (except the airballs)
