| Let's see if the Clippers can get the Blazers back after last night. It's always tough for a team to sweep two games vs. the same opponents on back to back nights. Hopefully Al can bounce back with a strong game. Go Clips! |

I'm going to this one. Over the games I've been this season, attendance is just pitiful. I even took pics with my phone to show how empty it is. Half the sections have ZERO ppl in it..
Anyway, Let's Get OUT THERE and play some ball. According to some "actuaries" of winning basketball games,
the games where the Clippers have over a fifty percent chance of winning is just ONE. Ouch.
The probability of the Clippers winning this specific game is 43.2%
According to My Sourche At Least.
So...How many players do we have tonite? Is Maggette and Thomas or Kaman available? |

Looks like just Maggette back tonight, but I'm sure you knew that
Is it just me or does Al seem a little less energetic then how he normally plays? |

What's up with our guys?
Is this just a case of Portland having the youth which leads to the enrgy on the court?
Or are the CLIPPERS showing their age, and demonstrating that they are not able to bring it on back to back games ?
Are the CLIPPERS mailing it in?
And just shutting Dumbleavy out?
P.S. Memphis and Minnestoa win......conspiracy? |

Corey slamming it down........
Curious, Dicaku is 6'1, why is he attempting to double team a 6'9 guy with his hands raised up? |

I thinks its just been a long and disappointing season. I don't think our current situation was expected and I'm sure our guys are just drained and fed up...can't really blame them. Chris might be out the remainder or most of the remaining games. Brand who was expected to be back early this month most likely will be a no show (though we might get to see him the last few games for a tease of next season). Same was expected of Livingston but again he wont show this season. We just don't have a leader out there which all teams need but we need one especially.
I assume, as much as it hurts and sucks to lose, the Clippers want to lose just to increase their lottery odds. Besides as most of you realize, the remainder of our games are mostly un-winnable especially in our current state. |

| Whats up with Thornton? Looks like defense is not on his mind today. |

Yeah he was disappointing last game as well as tonight. Our bench players are stepping it up a tad while Thornton is lacking.
*Side note: What a dunk by Mobley on Przybilla |

| I like how the CLIPPERS just fall apart defensively and end up just watching the opposing team shoot it with no one within 5 feet from the player |

Powell with the finish.......
83-72 is the final, Portland with the home at home sweep
Stat of the night.............Portland had 53 rebounds, and 17 of those were offensive as opposed to the Clippers having 41 rebounds and only 9 on the offensive side |

| Just finished watching the game- man the guys played their guts out. They played so hard but they just didn't have enough muscle inside. I mean it got to the point where Cat Mobley was guarding Lamarcus Aldridge. I applaud the great effort and solid D. At this point that's all you can ask for. |

Ouch. They were seriously outrebounded, and never really showed the umph needed to win the game. It was interesting............
Corey looked a little bit rough out there, and Mobley might have gotten hurt..
Did you know we are only 2 games ahead of the 5th worst record and only 3 games ahead of teh 3rd wrst. We might be able to get a top 4 pick, considerng our tough upcoming schedule! |

Woohoo- celebrate! I think it'd be tough to "catch" Seattle for 4th though. They're tanking like there's no tomorrow and have lost 11 straight. |
