| Here we go. We play another team who is lacking a vital player in the rotation. Kevin Love is out due to injury. If we can't beat this minny team with the talent we have I will be very shocked. Let the win streak start begin with them! |

| We are at home as well. We should take down the wolves. Do we have enough to beat GSW away? If we do then our momentum should take us past grizz at home. If we get these three in a row we might be able to beat the hornets as well because we are at home again. If we go 4-4 ill be so happy which is a sad thought considering how we should be doing. |

I certainly hope you're right.
That's some serious wishful thinking.
The only loss that's halfway excusable thus far, has been against Utah. I even think we should have beat the Lakers, but our attitude was poor, right from the start of that game.
I try to give credit to Dun when it's due; i even went to bat for him when Baron was playing like a middle-school 6th man last season. But i thought he couldn't get any worse from last year, and he actually managed to. |

guys....if theres one simple fact about our team that we have learned at least in these past few years.
NEVER say that a game is winnable because we always end up getting dissapointed.
We should be saying lets hope they play well because almost every time we think its a winnable game it ends up being an L. Anyone want to bed Johhny Flynn has a career night? 
(I do hope for a W just saying) |

| Very true clipper321. I think by the time we finally get a win clipper fans will be acting like our team just won the NBA title. Well, at least one positive about this matchup will be watching Johny Flynn. It would have been great to have Blake playing as well. |

I know! Almost every game last year, we made an average role player look like a solid all star! wtf I bet Flynn goes for 35 |

I don't know why games are so micro analyzed in the first week. This equates to ridiculous thoughts of trading Kaman cause he's playing good and Baron is still the problem and fire the coach etc etc. Fact is that we were supposed to lose 3 out of our 4 games in OCT. With the exception being Phoenix, which was supposed to be a good close game, and it was, it just didn't go in our favor. Best thing was that we basically had the chance to win all the games, maybe with the exception being Utah, and could have won all 4 if we didn't make some fundamental mistakes.
I'm still in the "sky is not falling camp" and will continue to be here through November. Some of you should try hanging out over here, it's nice. 
The season is not over. The first week jitters are over. We will win tonight. We will be be at .500 by the end of November. |

You have a good point BoomRizzle. I agree with you that the season is very young, but i think maybe what is getting Clippernation frustrated and bringing up calls of another dismal season is the way in which we are losing. It seems like the dreaded fourth quarter problem that we had last year has come up again, and since we lost what most believe the key part of a new chapter in our history (losing Amazin to a knee injury for twenty games) it seems like the gods have yet again have said to the Clippers "You're not done with the curse."
Baron is still somewhat of an enigma, so the only real positive of this season thus far has been the consistent play of Kaman. |

I see your point. But at the same time, i stand by the fact that we lost (barely lost 3 out of 4) to 4 teams that are not only pretty damn good, but have their closing rotation known and set to close out and win games. Something that we obviously lack and need to figure out ASAP. I feel that our 4th quarter problem, though present, is exasperated by the fact that really good teams have their closing rotation who is trained to step on the throats of the opposition.
Our schedule definitely lightens up now, and this time needs to be used to figure out who our closing rotation will be and those guys need to play together and learn to really step on peoples throats.
This will get figured out and we will be .500 team come Dec 1st. |

Yeah, I agree. I just hope we do get our act together because this can potentially lead to a more demoralizing situation. I remember last year when Marcus Camby would walk back to the locker room in frustrationof the losing record. We don't need that to happen again. |

T.Wolves have no one that can stop Kaman. Go to him early and often and we'll get off to a good start that Minny won't be able to recover from. |

Given how the first few games have gone, I would think the focus would be on cleaning up some of the things that have caused us problems in the first few games like turnovers, missed free throws, etc., rather than on trying to exploit a particular weakness with the T-Wolves. The Clippers have played well against 4 teams that are clearly better than Minnesota, so I would guess the team's mindset is, if they do what they're supposed to do, they'll win this game. |

| ^ Yeah, clean up our game and I think were good. Big Al will be in Kaman's way, not sure about how good his defense is though. Their hole at PF seems like something we could potentially exploit though. Without Love they don't really have any big weapons there so Camby might have another big game or Rhino might go off. |

Yeah, it would be nice if Rhino had a bit of a break out game tonight. He's been ok so far, buy maybe a little disappointing compared to the preseason. If the could have maybe 12 and 5 tonight with 0 or 1 turnovers (and I'm including offensive fouls here), it would be nice. |

Maybe Rhino can do what he used to do to us and go off for 20pts against his former team. That would be nice, but yeah 12 and 5 with few TO's is a solid game |

| We must not underestimate the T'wolves. But this game is a MUST win, like others have mentioned. I believe this maybe the start of our winning ways??? GO CLIPPERS GO!!! |

| I think that if we play "turnover free" basketball we will be ok. There does not have to be one dominating performance by one player. Get the ball to the open guy and grab rebounds...no second shots. Pretty easy right? |

| I'll be there. Section PR18, Row 9. Taking the wifey, which is a little weird because I don't think we've gone to a game together since one of our first dates like 10 years ago. Still, she's a good sport, so I should be able to get some solid cheering from her. |

With the Mike Dunleavy-coached Clippers, it's never easy. I was pretty optimistic coming into the season, but these last 4 games have reminded me that we still have the worst coach in the NBA. I know it's still early in the season, but knowing that Dunleavy will continue to find ways to screw this team over during the course of the season is always on my mind when I watch the games. You know, that inevitable 4th quarter meltdown.  |

Man, so true. It seems that nothing is ever easy with this team. The dribble and stand offense we run (at least in the 4th quarter) seems to prevent it. Its really not rocket science. Over the last few years I've noticed that, regardless of the personnel on the floor, the team performs best when players and the ball are moving on offense. Yet, that movement always seems to grind to a halt in the 4th quarter. It happens so often, yet every time it does, I have trouble believing what I'm seeing. Hopefully, tonight will be different. |

Yes! If your home crowd isn't cheering you on, it may as well just be an away game |

What are the keys to the game guys? Anyone notice anything from Minny that we can capitalize on?
Given how the first few games have gone, I would think the focus would be on cleaning up some of the things that have caused us problems in the first few games like turnovers, missed free throws, etc., rather than on trying to exploit a particular weakness with the T-Wolves. The Clippers have played well against 4 teams that are clearly better than Minnesota, so I would guess the team's mindset is, if they do what they're supposed to do, they'll win this game.
Very good points. It's hard to know that we pretty much blew some of those games because of minor things. |
