Lets see if I can fill in for Daivd here and see if some of his positivity rubs off on me.......
The CLIPPERS are looking to bounce back after their back to back to back losses in Atlanta,Orlando, and Washington. Even though this game looks easy on paper, it's still going to be a tough task to get this win on the road......
This game will not be a gimmie, lets see if the Clips can regroup, sneak in steal this game, and sneak out and make the plane ride home an enjoyable one-
Lets see if Dunleavy's Irish blood can rub off on the team- Go Clips |

| I think my prediction is right..............Clips just might 2 or 3 games this season...............I think the only winnable games are at home vs Memphis, and at Seattle...other than that, we could lose the rest of the way................this team can't put it together for 4 quarters |

The game is slipping away now. 39% shooting I believe right now. Thats horrendous. Maggette is doing all the scoring, but the team cannot win with just him doing it. Wow how this season has fallen apart.
Oh well, still a Clippers fan. |

| I think it is more frustrating in knowing who the opponent is.............it only gets worse from here season wise, but i am hoping to get the Michael Beasley lottery ball |

This is what a blogger on cbs.sportsline.com said:
4th Quarter 8:56 Kareem Shaker:
Al Thornton, the rookie from the NCAA champion Gators, is having an impressive rookie season and will be an essential piece of the Clippers' future if they manage to hold on to him. This team should be formidable with Brand, Kaman, and Livingston coming back next year.
IDIOT. |

That was just terrible defense. Even though Thomas had a good game offensively he was getting lost on D & just got destroyed by Craig Smith. Guys just weren't putting up their hands to make it tougher for the Wolves to make their entry passes into the paint area.
I'm beginning to think that maybe the Clippers need to draft a center instead- someone like a Hasheem Thabeet or a Brook Lopez. Let's face it- if you're getting killed in the paint like the Clippers have been night in and night out lately, you're not going to win no matter how many shooters you have on your team. So we'd have Brand and Kaman next year to man the paint, but that's assuming both can stay healthy. I think the odds are that you're going to have stretch of games where only one of them is going to be playing. And if you don't have another low-post defender, a shot blocker- this is what happens. Big strong NBA guys will bull their way into the paint and punish you with easy hoops and get you in foul trouble.... |

I think right now our team dynamic, chemistry is underminimum so I think we shouldn't be very sharp with all the problems we have right now...Basketball is about chemistry.Do you really think the Rockets "deserve" his winning streak without Yao?IMO not. But it's about chemistry and although everybody knows they couldn't win the ring, they are playing in a winning mode where they seem simply perfect. Once their amazing streak becomes to an end, things will start to change...
We are on the opposite site. We think we can lose every game. And we lose every game. Our players are done for this season and this is the way we should take these final games.
Next year, if everybody is healthy, if we resign Brand, if we get a quality player for Gette, if we draft a good player, if we sign a good PG, if we sign a proven shooter (look for Navarro. He's an specialist from the 3 point line and knows the game. He wants to leave from Memphis and we could sign him for cheap) if we can add to the mix some agressive player (look at NOCIONI who isn't playing minutes in Bulls)...Then we will be ready. And I think it's not so difficult |

| I agree David that we do need a backup inside player for insurance. I like Fazekas as an end of the bench option, and the same with Josh Powell, but we need someone better than them 2. If we can get someone decent, I hope they can buy out Tim Thomas somehow. |
