The refs have to know that they can’t pull this kind of crap. If they are going to call bs fouls like that, they better face the consequences on and off the court. I know for a fact that off the court they will get scolded for taking out the star of the game so early.
Clippers, you deserve to lose this game if you keep it up.
I hate to be the one to say it, but they aren’t doing anything to help themselves. When they start knocking down shots, what do they do? They allow a WIDE OPEN SHOT.
I like Mo as a player, but I am doubting his decisions.
He often pushes the ball when he shouldn’t, he trusts nobody on his team, and his shot selection is questionable. However, he is a solid player, but he needs to work on being a TEAM player.
cp needs to turn on his playoff mode killer instinct, we need more of that type of cp3 , i think hes playing too conservative with his passing and what not. he can easily turn the game around if he wants to..
Griffin really showed some rookie mistakes in the end game.
First off, he was NOT suppose to foul. He knew it and that’s why his face looked disappointed. It was an unnecessary foul and he knew it.
Second, what the hell were you thinking on the next play? When the coach puts in Cook, Williams, Billups, and CP3, you know you are looking for a three pointer. And what the hell do you do? You try to get a foul. And what would you gain? You missed your free throws tonight!
All in all, I did NOT like what Griffin did. He seemed to take the game into his hands and he made two big no-nos.
And it looked intentional? Is that why the other players seemed puzzled? It may have looked intentional because Griffin was an idiot. He ran up right onto Felton. I know you want to blame VDN, so do I, but it was Griffin’s fault at the end game.
just looked like he intentionally reached in, I thought in a trap he’d keep his arms out. I guess he saw an opportunity to try and knock the ball out and gambled. Either way, if the clips played D, and they just threw a shot up at the basket as the shot clock expired, the game clock might’ve run out if anyone didn’t secure the ball right away. It was a super long shot anyways, so I’ll stop complaining
There were extremely lucky with their shots and the refs were basically handing them the game. If you are only up by 3 and that is the case, wow, not a great team.
I think they were lucky with some plays (that one bs tip in) and the refs helped them out.
The Clips were pretty much handicapped and the Blazers could only get a small win. That’s not good in my books. If this were a playoff series, the refs’ attention would have been called to their lop sided calls.
No denying they’re a good team but f—k me they got bailed out all night. Whatever the reason, refs scared of loud fans are just hate the Clippers; they were wildly inconsistent.
He kept leaving Aldridge alone to help CP3 defend Felton. I mean, come on man, Aldridge was killing us all night and yet he decides to give him free shots. Come on DJ, you’re better than that.
We need to learn form the Portland fans, their building is loud as h3ll. We need to bring that same energy to our team every time at Staples., especially when we’re supposed to be playing home against the Lakers…
One of the reasons it’s so hard to win at the Rose Garden. Their fans get up and yell over anything and everything. Even when their team is struggling they cheer loud as a moral boost. Same with Thunder fans.
So glad we have another few days off until our next game to fix the problems.
all jokes aside, it was a good game. Sure some of the calls may have sucked towards the end, but we got beat by a better “team” in their homecourt today. We have better players and hopefully we will learn defense and become a better team in the future. It’s safe to say we are pretty evenly match up against the Blazers right now. Clearly if we meet them in the playoffs then home court advantage will be key.
I think they fail to realize that that isn’t exactly a good sign. He is basically carrying the whole team, and yes, this can win you league games. But then Laker fans wonder why they lose in the playoffs?
Play 1: VDN called a basic play. Inbound to the wing, then have the inbounder run off a screen to get open up top. This play has worked before.
In this case, the pass (I forger the passer) was late, and Chauncey (the shooter) didn’t get a clean look. He bailed out and mahe a mid range shot and 1.
Play 2: VDN calls the SAME PLAY. Portland just denies it, and we end up with a BG turnover. He had a whole timeout and he didnt’t draw up a play. What does he do?
Was it him who told them to foul? No, that was Griffin’s doing.
Was it him who told Griffin to do it all himself? No, that was Griffin’s doing.
All in all, I agree that he is a terrible coach. However, don’t try to pin this all on him. Griffin made terrible decisions in the end game.
VDN actually made a couple good VDN moves tonight.
He did a good time out once, plus when he changed his mind to keep Reggie in when he was doing well (although they ran it up again when we pulled to within 2).
You seemed to focus on VDN's play calling in this post...
Play 2: VDN calls the SAME PLAY. Portland just denies it, and we end up with a BG turnover. He had a whole timeout and he didnt’t draw up a play. What does he do?
I posted about the play calling. Blake had nothing to do with the play calling. I blame VDN for calling a repeat play and putting Blake in a position where he could make that play.
The overall loss, no, I don’t blame Vinny for all of that. But the playcalling? Absolutely on the coach.
But the Clips played fairly well despite Chris Paul having a terrible game and took it all the way to the end. The Rose Garden’s a tough place to play in, and the Clips hung around despite all of their mistakes. Not bad for a team still trying to figure each other out.
As for VDN, we can’t blame him for that late game foul by Blake Griffin. That was ALL on Griffin – he played wayyyy too close to Felton. It was an easy call by the refs.
I too felt that PDX got some calls going their way, but we already know that the more aggressive team will usually get the calls, so I wasn’t too surprised with the calls.
Chalk it up as a good learning experience, and move on the next game.
i feel like our team is based completely on individual play. there’s no set plays, no system. if paul is not able to create because he’s got an off night, it’s basically all about 1 on 1 plays. DJ and blake are below average screen setters and defenders who still haven’t learned to switch on defense. this team will make the playoffs because of talent. but unless dj and blake make some progress on playing team defense we will make an early exit.
Unbelievable that CP3 is having a terrible game
Mo is single handily keeping us in this game
Jayq - January 10, 2012
if Caron had made his 2 lay-ups and 1 free throw, it would only be a 2 point game.
but Caron is doing well other than that.
chrisd - January 10, 2012
Yeah, theres something about the elevation in Portland
Jayq - January 10, 2012
2nd
LJ Hann - January 10, 2012
on the 2nd half thread
LJ Hann - January 10, 2012
blah
Feel like we should be down by 20+. We’re sloppy and our second unit gave back everything they gained in the first.
Clipper T - January 10, 2012 via iPhone app
The bench gave us 20 points in 2 quarters
But yeah they looked bad and most of that 20 points is from Mo (11).
dulciusXasperis - January 10, 2012
Can't believe, especially since I just dropped Mo from one of my fantasy teams
Jayq - January 10, 2012
whoops haha
dulciusXasperis - January 10, 2012
Who will win the community award?
I’m going with Gomes, Evans in 2nd
LJ Hann - January 10, 2012
We are finally out rebounding a team!
Jayq - January 10, 2012
but hollinger doesn't put alot of importance on that
just saying
agolden - January 10, 2012
aka I dislike hollinger
agolden - January 10, 2012
Cook
Having him in just ruins the chemistry. He’s useless.
Hengtime81 - January 10, 2012
He threw up two bricks....bring in Trey
Jayq - January 10, 2012
Bring in Jones
We need someone who can play D and apparently it’s not Trey.
chrisd - January 10, 2012
Can't rebound
his shot is flat. always in the way!
Hengtime81 - January 10, 2012
I'd rather have Leslie playing backup C
agolden - January 10, 2012
than Cook
agolden - January 10, 2012
or MBFGC
agolden - January 10, 2012
at least Trey's shots are on line
dulciusXasperis - January 10, 2012
at least there is a CHANCE that Trey's shots go in
as appose to Cook
agolden - January 10, 2012
even better point haha
dulciusXasperis - January 10, 2012
We got
Quite few lucky breaks por missed few ez layups
arman martikian - January 10, 2012 via mobile
There were bad calls made and missed on both sides
i just hope we are better than the blazers edge community complaining about everything. sheesh…
cantthinkofagoodname - January 10, 2012
its called being a fan
agolden - January 10, 2012
maybe
but every call?
it’s like reading a live blog of a bunch of grieving widows.
cantthinkofagoodname - January 10, 2012
Blazer's Edge
and other portland sites have a bad rep regarding that
LJ Hann - January 10, 2012
oh
agolden - January 10, 2012
i like reading the other teams blogs during games just to get a feel for what they see
but all they see is referee comments.

mese be ignorantz
agolden - January 10, 2012
Mo-Chauncey-Caron trio playing ok
Caron needs to hit those layups though.
Mo: 11 points on 5-7 shooting, 4 assists, 3 rebounds, 2 TO in 15 min
Cp3: 0 points on 0-3 shooting, 1 assist, 3 rebounds, TO in 11 min.
Ouch
NewCavsfan - January 10, 2012
Must be CP3's new Jordans
Jayq - January 10, 2012
Nobody will buy them now
They are jinxed.
He is not a fastbreak PG whereas Mo is, but still, CP3 just looks flat out slow compared to Mo right now, and Mo is no Rose or Westbrook.
NewCavsfan - January 10, 2012
Maybe CP3 is "resting" for tomorrow's game
Hopefully he shows up his buddy Lebron
Jayq - January 10, 2012
again I ask if CP3 is ok
wilriv21 - January 10, 2012
I just dont know if he will ever be the same as he was 2+ years ago
This kind of game happened a lot last year for the Hornets.
NewCavsfan - January 10, 2012
then in playoffs he went beserk
LJ Hann - January 10, 2012
Except in the playoffs, dude was ballin' beyond belief
He is just too passive with the Clips
Jayq - January 10, 2012
heck
maybe some hardcore blazers fan snuck into the guest room and switched the jordans w/ new balance look-alikes.
agolden - January 10, 2012
oh vinny says that he will get more production from CP3/Blake
good
LJ Hann - January 10, 2012
why oucldnt he do that earlier
LJ Hann - January 10, 2012
Thats was a mediocre coach would say
Jayq - January 10, 2012
what have these guys been doing with all those practice days
wilriv21 - January 10, 2012
Obviously, Reggie has been a bad influence
Jayq - January 10, 2012
DJ... rebound
LJ Hann - January 10, 2012
OMG DJ.. gotta get that
CLiPPz WeRD 12 - January 10, 2012

wilriv21 - January 10, 2012
This is a lost game.
I really don’t see us bouncing back with the type of game we are playing.
SurfinQ00 - January 10, 2012
not when Camby is going for a god damn double-double
dulciusXasperis - January 10, 2012
C'mon it's like the earlier game vs. Portland @ Staples
Blazers came back
Jayq - January 10, 2012

Clips settle for a 30ft Billups 3. clank
cassellmania - January 10, 2012
Clippers, this is garbage.
SurfinQ00 - January 10, 2012

CLiPPz WeRD 12 - January 10, 2012
we need to get blake or CP3 going
and let them have a 20pt second half
LJ Hann - January 10, 2012
Blake can't even fucking guard Camby
dulciusXasperis - January 10, 2012
I wish CP would take that midrange J more
cassellmania - January 10, 2012
there is nothing happening
LJ Hann - January 10, 2012

wilriv21 - January 10, 2012
thank you Chris
you are a good shooter, feel free to do a heat check every once and awhile
cassellmania - January 10, 2012
VDN, if you are not going to coach, don't even show up.
This is just pathetic, there is this thing you can do to help the team. Quit.
SurfinQ00 - January 10, 2012
seriously
are they really fouling out there. I swear refs sucking the cocks of this Blazers team right now
dulciusXasperis - January 10, 2012

Aldridge is money
Always plays us tough, and gives BG trouble

dulciusXasperis - January 10, 2012

cassellmania - January 10, 2012
blake is making his jumpers
but we need to lock down
LJ Hann - January 10, 2012
I HOPE CP3 gets a technical.
The refs have to know that they can’t pull this kind of crap. If they are going to call bs fouls like that, they better face the consequences on and off the court. I know for a fact that off the court they will get scolded for taking out the star of the game so early.
SurfinQ00 - January 10, 2012

We are so impresed by his making shots, I’m more impressed by how bad the Clippers bad defense can be.
SurfinQ00 - January 10, 2012

why not shoot it more
LJ Hann - January 10, 2012

If you are going to call bull crap on one side, be prepared to call it on both sides.
SurfinQ00 - January 10, 2012

lets go guys get a big play for momentum
LJ Hann - January 10, 2012
can you please grab some rebounds DJ???
nauticazn25 - January 10, 2012
Great to see us scoring, but we need more stops!!
Jayq - January 10, 2012

DJ needs to box out/rebound

this game is winnable, fellas

but camby has 10 tonight
LJ Hann - January 10, 2012
u know that crawford does'nt do squat till the 4th qrt.
agolden - January 10, 2012
For some weird reason I have Camby in a fantasy league....i have mixed feelings
Jayq - January 10, 2012
that's 2 rebounds this quarter DJ has let get away easily.
chrisd - January 10, 2012
wow that was camby climbing over the back of DJ...
Final692 - January 10, 2012
kinda what i was thinking.. and the foul is on DJ.. lame
CLiPPz WeRD 12 - January 10, 2012
how many points do we have in the paint?
indy818 - January 10, 2012
dont get me wrong, its nice to see the jumper falling for blake, but damn
indy818 - January 10, 2012
ESPN doesnt say
LJ Hann - January 10, 2012
its gotta be under 10 right?
indy818 - January 10, 2012
We are playing much better offensively
Now we just need to keep CP3 in the ball game.
NewCavsfan - January 10, 2012
no
get him out soon. he made it through a big chunk of the 3rd with 4 fouls, time to play it safe so he can finish
LJ Hann - January 10, 2012
I wanna see
a steal and monster Cp to Blake/DJ alley oop, get the team pumped
cassellmania - January 10, 2012
DJ only with 3 boards
ridiculous

Where would the Clippers be with Marcus Camby?
wilriv21 - January 10, 2012

Except, when he plays against the Clippers
Jayq - January 10, 2012
block out!!!
Nothing more.

You spoke a bit too early man
Jayq - January 10, 2012
GOD DAMN IT, PLAY DEFENSE
You are shooting lights out on offense, but you are leaving WIDE OPEN SHOTS!!
SurfinQ00 - January 10, 2012
Portland should just take their starters out
Jayq - January 10, 2012
like the Mo for Billups move by VDN....more 3's please
indy818 - January 10, 2012
There goes Crawford
Jayq - January 10, 2012
These two squads are a good match
SilverClip - January 10, 2012
terrible D AGAIN
wilriv21 - January 10, 2012
why can't they defend?
Granted maybe not defend as well as Portland is right now but they’re just scrambling every other possession
dulciusXasperis - January 10, 2012
we need a defense to support our offensive run

Clippers, you deserve to lose this game if you keep it up.
I hate to be the one to say it, but they aren’t doing anything to help themselves. When they start knocking down shots, what do they do? They allow a WIDE OPEN SHOT.
SurfinQ00 - January 10, 2012
Mo rotated to Aldridge
Blake should have gone to Crawford.
NewCavsfan - January 10, 2012
Coach?
agolden - January 10, 2012
I admit that VDN is to blame also.
But they are professionals, they shouldn’t leave shots THAT open.

SurfinQ00 - January 10, 2012
come on, Mo
Ugh
SilverClip - January 10, 2012
Awful shot
NewCavsfan - January 10, 2012
as bad as that qtr was, we came out even, from halftime at least
indy818 - January 10, 2012
Still winnable
Hopefully Paul and Blake comes in strong in the 4th
shay - January 10, 2012
Paul in particular
NewCavsfan - January 10, 2012
we need D to win
wilriv21 - January 10, 2012
wtf?
why at the end of wuarters do we dribble out and launch threes off the dribble. Well-coached teams know to run a P&R at around 9 seconds
LJ Hann - January 10, 2012
VDN
must of told the team stuff that kobe does and how his buzzer beaters are so trippy
dag nabbit VDN.
agolden - January 10, 2012
we have poor ball movement...lot of guys just standing around
nauticazn25 - January 10, 2012
Whether Vinny is blame for not or not
He SHOULD be reminding them and putting them in position to create better ball movement.
dulciusXasperis - January 10, 2012
that's what you call a bad coached team!
ThaFoX - January 10, 2012 via Android app
she wants to be introduced to his wingman
wilriv21 - January 10, 2012
bad heat checks
KillaClip - January 10, 2012 via mobile
Mo gets a pass
His 14 points is carrying this team when our starters leave.
dulciusXasperis - January 10, 2012
True enough
NewCavsfan - January 10, 2012
That's alright.. Mo and Butler are keeping us in this game..
and I think Gomes is about to check in…
:(
CLiPPz WeRD 12 - January 10, 2012
Butler is going to sit
This is all going to be on Mo and Foye for a few minutes
NewCavsfan - January 10, 2012
They should've set screen for Mo there
cassellmania - January 10, 2012
I like Mo as a player, but I am doubting his decisions.
He often pushes the ball when he shouldn’t, he trusts nobody on his team, and his shot selection is questionable. However, he is a solid player, but he needs to work on being a TEAM player.
SurfinQ00 - January 10, 2012
He is 6-9 with one bad shot
He has 4 assists tonight, and is averaging 4.5 on the season in 22.5 minutes. How is that not trusting teammates?
NewCavsfan - January 10, 2012
Its hard when his 2nd unit teammates are Gomes, Cook, Evans, Foye
not exactly a trustworthy group on offense.
cassellmania - January 10, 2012
shooottttt
i must be far behind… the 3rd quarter just ended… lol stupid nba broadband
cantthinkofagoodname - January 10, 2012
about 3 or 4 real time minutes behind
indy818 - January 10, 2012
I wanna see CP3 all this quarter.
SurfinQ00 - January 10, 2012
Paul with only 3 assists
He has looked terrible 2 games in a row.
dulciusXasperis - January 10, 2012
CP3 should play basically the whole 4th
LJ Hann - January 10, 2012
im hoping at least the final 8
indy818 - January 10, 2012
looks like final 11!
indy818 - January 10, 2012
in now
LJ Hann - January 10, 2012
now or never, if we cant put a dent in this lead in the next 6 min
Vinny should rest starters for Heat.
cassellmania - January 10, 2012
airball for crawford
what a break
LJ Hann - January 10, 2012
My GOD VDN, if this game becomes unwinnable because of this team.
I am demanding you get fired. When you are going into the 4th down by 7, you have to go for it.
SurfinQ00 - January 10, 2012
its not a close game
WE ARE LOSING. WE NEED A COMEBACK. What is iin his head?
LJ Hann - January 10, 2012
why is it that the other team always has open 3's while our are constantly contested
nauticazn25 - January 10, 2012
bc their D is just better
indy818 - January 10, 2012
cuz they play D?
wilriv21 - January 10, 2012
becuase they swing the ball
actually, you know what, I think it’s our defense. It’s just way too relaxed.
dulciusXasperis - January 10, 2012
Blazers trapping so well
dulciusXasperis - January 10, 2012
Hey, no Cookie
SilverClip - January 10, 2012
Thank god
NewCavsfan - January 10, 2012
Maybe we should try a slip screen
IF they keep trapping
NewCavsfan - January 10, 2012
God damn Mo.
Don’t talk to Reggie as if it is his fault. You got trapped in the corner because your desire to be a one man team.
SurfinQ00 - January 10, 2012
CP3 back in
LJ Hann - January 10, 2012
and misses the shot
dulciusXasperis - January 10, 2012
NO FOUL!?
Refs get your head into the game.
SurfinQ00 - January 10, 2012
but by all means
send crawford to the line
LJ Hann - January 10, 2012
haha
terrible call
dulciusXasperis - January 10, 2012
suprised CP didnt get a T there
get pissed off chris. A road game in portland isn’t won easily.
LJ Hann - January 10, 2012
these refs suck (on both sides)
chrisd - January 10, 2012
cant freaking score
KillaClip - January 10, 2012 via mobile
TERRIBLE D
wilriv21 - January 10, 2012
how many lay-ups do they have?
our defense is ridiculous
chrisd - January 10, 2012
can really see why they're ranked dead last
which is comical seeing as the Wizards where 0-8 until today.
dulciusXasperis - January 10, 2012
gomes got lucky
he hesitated
LJ Hann - January 10, 2012
TERRIBLE D
wilriv21 - January 10, 2012
This game is as good as done.
We aren’t making ANY stops and our offense is atrocious.
SurfinQ00 - January 10, 2012
Paul has to start shooting
SilverClip - January 10, 2012
Agreed.
He is our team leader and a great finisher. Why is he is so passive?
SurfinQ00 - January 10, 2012
he best not be deferring
wilriv21 - January 10, 2012
gomes got lucky
he hesitated
LJ Hann - January 10, 2012
this is scary
LJ Hann - January 10, 2012
is it ok to say i love Reggie?
chrisd - January 10, 2012
cause i do
chrisd - January 10, 2012
like how Chris Kaman loves reggie?
LJ Hann - January 10, 2012
I hate his free throw shooting
agolden - January 10, 2012
Maybe keep Reggie in over DJ? He's hustlin' much more.
CLiPPz WeRD 12 - January 10, 2012
maybe
but length-wise, DJ plays aldridge effectively
LJ Hann - January 10, 2012
this may be our last chance at a run
KillaClip - January 10, 2012 via mobile
reggie evans cant play pg.
done.
agolden - January 10, 2012
lol
agolden - January 10, 2012
Paul has 4 fouls but he needs to play better d on Crawford
When Mo Williams is playing better d than you, you know you need to step it up.
NewCavsfan - January 10, 2012
if he is going to be conservative to avoid a foul
he can’t guard a great scorer like jamal
LJ Hann - January 10, 2012
that
wilriv21 - January 10, 2012
DeAndre has bad hands.
I think that is his biggest issue. He always seems to lose the ball.
SurfinQ00 - January 10, 2012
is Clipper Darryl at the game leading the wave?
chrisd - January 10, 2012
This game is at Portland. We on da road.
ILL Eagle - January 10, 2012
lol, really?
chrisd - January 10, 2012
it sounds like a playoff game there
chrisd - January 10, 2012
Blake makes his first non jumper
LJ Hann - January 10, 2012
He had a drive in the 3rd
SilverClip - January 10, 2012
touch fouls
niiiice
LJ Hann - January 10, 2012
Reggie is playing great defensively
play the man!
LJ Hann - January 10, 2012
Big possession
SilverClip - January 10, 2012
LOL.. Love Reggie's passion out there.. a much needed jolt
CLiPPz WeRD 12 - January 10, 2012
Billups!
SilverClip - January 10, 2012
BINGO
wilriv21 - January 10, 2012
REGGIE
makes it all happen. VDN pulls DJ back to the bench. Finally good coaching
LJ Hann - January 10, 2012
+1
dulciusXasperis - January 10, 2012
C'mon clips!
Guyver423 - January 10, 2012
is that really a foul?
dulciusXasperis - January 10, 2012
whoops didn't mean to reply
dulciusXasperis - January 10, 2012
I really can't believe this is a 2 point game
CLiPPz WeRD 12 - January 10, 2012
are we that good now?
that a terrible game is still close?
LJ Hann - January 10, 2012
Competitive 2nd half
We’ve settled down
SilverClip - January 10, 2012
oh come on
cant pick up cheapfouls!!
LJ Hann - January 10, 2012
Keep 3 guard lineup in
I like it this time
NewCavsfan - January 10, 2012
CP3 time.. Make your money!
CLiPPz WeRD 12 - January 10, 2012
hey ref, eff you!!!!!!
chrisd - January 10, 2012
that is a terrible shot by chaincey
and then the loose ball foul
LJ Hann - January 10, 2012
Are you freaking kidding me?
You are going to call that bulls*** ref? I hope you all get fired.
SurfinQ00 - January 10, 2012
i cant believe they called that on Mo
indy818 - January 10, 2012
gotta get stops
wilriv21 - January 10, 2012
This is your time CP3
SurfinQ00 - January 10, 2012
wow.. no whistle
CLiPPz WeRD 12 - January 10, 2012
NO FOUL????
shay - January 10, 2012
wow CP3 is getting NO calls
nauticazn25 - January 10, 2012
WHAT THE HECK IS THIS REFS?
You are full of crap.
SurfinQ00 - January 10, 2012
no foul? does this ref have a bounty on his head?
LJ Hann - January 10, 2012
na fuck that
refs are seriously pulling that bias crap
dulciusXasperis - January 10, 2012
seriously? no foul, eff you reff (am i repeating myself?
chrisd - January 10, 2012
Billups, stop taking that crap. We have time still.
SurfinQ00 - January 10, 2012
chauncey chucnking
LJ Hann - January 10, 2012
blazers get tapped and its a foul
our guys flying all over the damn place…no foul
dulciusXasperis - January 10, 2012
eek
CLiPPz WeRD 12 - January 10, 2012
CP3 got chopped down
LJ Hann - January 10, 2012
wow...not happening
indy818 - January 10, 2012
I guess now we know why the blazers are undefeated at home...
refs swalloing their whistles
shay - January 10, 2012
bribe?
possible.
agolden - January 10, 2012
swallowing something else
dulciusXasperis - January 10, 2012
fuck
agolden - January 10, 2012
felton 3??? really.
agolden - January 10, 2012
it's like we work hard to get it so close
and then they go on these 7-0 runs and put us right back where we started.
chrisd - January 10, 2012
Not Sure Why VDN Left Reggie Out There
and didn’t put DJ in
Buddahfan - January 10, 2012
Cause he is playing better.....
NewCavsfan - January 10, 2012
cause Reggie was getting the offensive rebounds and playing better than DJ
chrisd - January 10, 2012
might as well bring DJ back now
KillaClip - January 10, 2012 via mobile
Damn, felton face pisses me off. Looking like beetlejuice
Edmund81 - January 10, 2012 via mobile
SOOOO frustrating
dulciusXasperis - January 10, 2012
Damn, Blazers have a GREAT 6th man.
I believe we know them as the refs.

dulciusXasperis - January 10, 2012
dammit.. such a frustrating game to watch
Guyver423 - January 10, 2012
makes me want to just... explode
agolden - January 10, 2012
oh yeah feel ya
dulciusXasperis - January 10, 2012
refs a huge reason
dulciusXasperis - January 10, 2012
Cant believe Felton made that
NewCavsfan - January 10, 2012
maybe why Perrin isnt on live chat.
agolden - January 10, 2012
this is getting relly dangerous
This is pretty near to our last chance
LJ Hann - January 10, 2012
This isnt
Cp3 we brought
arman martikian - January 10, 2012 via mobile
There must be a reason the score is hovering at 7+ lead for the blazers
The line is Clippers +6
shay - January 10, 2012
thought it was clips -6?
LJ Hann - January 10, 2012
It would be POR -6
shay - January 10, 2012
wait
I didnt know that the blazers fouled… have they done that all game?
LJ Hann - January 10, 2012
We still
Got the closers. Lets see
arman martikian - January 10, 2012 via mobile
oh Blake
dulciusXasperis - January 10, 2012
miss both
LJ Hann - January 10, 2012
finally someone with a good play
LJ Hann - January 10, 2012
a defensive 3 second bogus whistle at the end of a close game
is this little league?
LJ Hann - January 10, 2012
A foul call? wow!!!!!!!!!
indy818 - January 10, 2012
They do exist!
dulciusXasperis - January 10, 2012
gotta collect them all!
agolden - January 10, 2012
Blake needs to make better kickout passes
Paul would have had an open three there
LJ Hann - January 10, 2012
would love to steal this one!
CLiPPz WeRD 12 - January 10, 2012
6 point game
we neeeeed to hold them here
LJ Hann - January 10, 2012
blake is so good
we need defense
LJ Hann - January 10, 2012
that sucks
chrisd - January 10, 2012
Oh come on that was a charge!!!!!!!!
dulciusXasperis - January 10, 2012
that was a charge
LJ Hann - January 10, 2012
Yes it was
SilverClip - January 10, 2012

CLiPPz WeRD 12 - January 10, 2012
Refs are intimidated
arman martikian - January 10, 2012 via mobile
No wonder the Rose Garden is hard to win on the road
Refs are pussies with these loud manipulative fans
dulciusXasperis - January 10, 2012
Bet my life they call that same play a charge on us on the other end
dulciusXasperis - January 10, 2012
Way to go!
CLiPPz WeRD 12 - January 10, 2012
Awesome, DJ
SilverClip - January 10, 2012

LJ Hann - January 10, 2012
wow, a grey area call went our way!!!!
indy818 - January 10, 2012

chrisd - January 10, 2012
they still owe us another 5
dulciusXasperis - January 10, 2012

Momentum change
Cmon
arman martikian - January 10, 2012 via mobile

agolden - January 10, 2012
if the officiating was reversed
the portland fans would run these refs out of town
LJ Hann - January 10, 2012
Sounds like it
that’s why they’re so favorable to the Blazers.
dulciusXasperis - January 10, 2012
Well, it's now or never!
CLiPPz WeRD 12 - January 10, 2012
does anyone know how to box out
KillaClip - January 10, 2012 via mobile
On our team....
Reggie Evans?
NewCavsfan - January 10, 2012
Yup, that's about it.
CLiPPz WeRD 12 - January 10, 2012
Gotta make these FTs
NewCavsfan - January 10, 2012

Please make it happen Clips.

agolden - January 10, 2012
I blame all of this on the 5 minutes when Cook was in
Not really, but I would like to.

he was something like -8... so yeah

How is that an offensive foul?

WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
dulciusXasperis - January 10, 2012
i thought that billups would shoot 3
LJ Hann - January 10, 2012
NO, NO, NO, NO, NO FUCKING WAY!!!!!!
dulciusXasperis - January 10, 2012
that was wierd
LJ Hann - January 10, 2012
Subdued reaction
SilverClip - January 10, 2012
yea
feel bad for the guy, but his crotch got in the way.
osamu - January 10, 2012
I think Reggie's been teaching Chauncey his moves
chrisd - January 10, 2012
Turnover
That was huge
SilverClip - January 10, 2012
refs got money on the blazers (with the spread)
jon y - January 10, 2012

It's amazing how bias they are
dulciusXasperis - January 10, 2012
Is Reggie Miller available?
chrisd - January 10, 2012
wow
cookie time?
osamu - January 10, 2012
Please no
CLiPPz WeRD 12 - January 10, 2012
That was a questionable call, but Billups missed anyways, and it certainly wasnt a foul on Matthews
We got ball back anyway.
NewCavsfan - January 10, 2012
yep
chrisd - January 10, 2012
Blake had the follow dunk.. could've used those points
CLiPPz WeRD 12 - January 10, 2012
it was a no call
but definitely not an offensive foul
dulciusXasperis - January 10, 2012
Can't watch the game but what's wrong w/ CP
Billups and Butler hogging the ball again?
cliptakular - January 10, 2012
I can see he's having a horrible game looking at the stats
cliptakular - January 10, 2012

osamu - January 10, 2012
I am very confused
They were trying for the trap, or were they fouling?
NewCavsfan - January 10, 2012
looks like they were fouling
chrisd - January 10, 2012
Mike Smith is a better coach than Vinny
Jayq - January 10, 2012
That's why Vinny gets paid the big bucks, right? LOL

was a good mismatch
BelgianClipper - January 10, 2012
Great play call from the final time out VDN
chrisd - January 10, 2012
At leasy Dunleavy had freakin plays.
Vinny just hopes their talent leads to something good.
dulciusXasperis - January 10, 2012
And that was the play he wanted to run?
shay - January 10, 2012
Great timeout

Vinny is safe all season
Unless of course we go on a season ending losing streak
dulciusXasperis - January 10, 2012
I think this is the result we'll see a lot, with the coaching staff that we have
CLiPPz WeRD 12 - January 10, 2012
yup
no faith in Vinny.

lmfao
agolden - January 10, 2012
I think I might do a purely rantish fanpost series
Studs of the game and Duds of the game.
Today’s Stars: Caron Butler, Chauncey Billups, Mo Williams
Today’s Duds: Chris Paul, DeAndre Jordan, Brian Cook, (Blake Griffin?)
NewCavsfan - January 10, 2012
Blake had a good 3rd quarter that kept us in the game with some of his outside shots oddly enough
Definitely put VDN in the Duds side.
chrisd - January 10, 2012
True but he was bad through most of the rest
VDN and Cook look to be on just about every dud list.
NewCavsfan - January 10, 2012
today's shitface: VDN
agolden - January 10, 2012
Also our offensive sets suck hardcore when Paul is doubled
mazric - January 10, 2012
Blake, even with the bad game, still walks away with 18 points, 12 boards
Otherwise looks good
dulciusXasperis - January 10, 2012
His defense was beyond awful though
Atrocious is about the right word.
NewCavsfan - January 10, 2012
Can he even jump on defense?
I swear he has cement blocks on his feet.
mazric - January 10, 2012
tis true
well not quite dud but not a stud by any means. Just leave him off the list.
dulciusXasperis - January 10, 2012
Ok
NewCavsfan - January 10, 2012
Especially in the 2nd half, in the first it was pretty good
Jayq - January 10, 2012
We played hard tonight
I love that. It’s a loss, but we didn’t give. This game will help us learn a lot.
kikyexcel - January 10, 2012
dont understand why the fk did we foul??? was that intentional? wtf.!
Goosebumpz - January 10, 2012
Thats was stupid, it looked intentional, since players kept looking at Vinny
Jayq - January 10, 2012
i dont understand… even blazers were like wtf free points ? sure why not..
Goosebumpz - January 10, 2012
and then the timeout after they made the free throw, wasting our final time out???
makes no sense
chrisd - January 10, 2012
yea
he stuck reggie, DJ, and Blake in the game to secure the rebound, so even if they missed, they couldn’t run out with that group on the court….
osamu - January 10, 2012
I don't think so, why come with 2 players then
just looked like Blake was too enthusiastic
BelgianClipper - January 10, 2012
i'm still confused

same w/ jason powell
agolden - January 10, 2012
If Mike Smith in the last 5 mins. has better stratergy than VDN
then we need a new coach.
agolden - January 10, 2012
this
Xfactor26 - January 10, 2012
yeah seriously
I don’t even think Smith knows what he’s talking about half the time and yet he still knows the basics to playing in crunch time.
Vinny, what a joke.
dulciusXasperis - January 10, 2012
Makes Smith look like John Wooden or Coach K

so confused now. what just happened? chances were slim as it was, but how’d they win by 8?
osamu - January 10, 2012
Cp3 nonexistant
arman martikian - January 10, 2012 via mobile
This is the basic storyline of the game
More than VDN, more than Cook, more than questionable ref calls.
NewCavsfan - January 10, 2012
but hese ref calls caused CP3 to be nonexistant!!
agolden - January 10, 2012
He needed to dominate the 4th quarter and he utterly failed
NewCavsfan - January 10, 2012
cp3
cp needs to turn on his playoff mode killer instinct, we need more of that type of cp3 , i think hes playing too conservative with his passing and what not. he can easily turn the game around if he wants to..
Goosebumpz - January 10, 2012
2 games in a row...
dulciusXasperis - January 10, 2012
Reading the play by play
it was 100-97 w/ 26 seconds left and the Clips decide to foul? WHY???!
cliptakular - January 10, 2012
didn't look intentional
just Blake being too enthusiastic
BelgianClipper - January 10, 2012
Only VDN knows
NewCavsfan - January 10, 2012
VDN just blew aNOTHER JOINT
agolden - January 10, 2012
I don't blame VDN on this one.
It’s obvious that the call was NOT to foul, and Blake did a stupid thing. He got too aggressive. You could tell that he knew he made a mistake.
SurfinQ00 - January 10, 2012
Griffin really showed some rookie mistakes in the end game.
First off, he was NOT suppose to foul. He knew it and that’s why his face looked disappointed. It was an unnecessary foul and he knew it.
Second, what the hell were you thinking on the next play? When the coach puts in Cook, Williams, Billups, and CP3, you know you are looking for a three pointer. And what the hell do you do? You try to get a foul. And what would you gain? You missed your free throws tonight!
All in all, I did NOT like what Griffin did. He seemed to take the game into his hands and he made two big no-nos.
SurfinQ00 - January 10, 2012
i dunno
looked kinda intentional to me.
osamu - January 10, 2012
so
what are you saying?..
kikyexcel - January 10, 2012
I'm saying that Griffin has long ways to go.
And it looked intentional? Is that why the other players seemed puzzled? It may have looked intentional because Griffin was an idiot. He ran up right onto Felton. I know you want to blame VDN, so do I, but it was Griffin’s fault at the end game.
SurfinQ00 - January 10, 2012
I guess you're right
just looked like he intentionally reached in, I thought in a trap he’d keep his arms out. I guess he saw an opportunity to try and knock the ball out and gambled. Either way, if the clips played D, and they just threw a shot up at the basket as the shot clock expired, the game clock might’ve run out if anyone didn’t secure the ball right away. It was a super long shot anyways, so I’ll stop complaining
osamu - January 10, 2012
on a positive note we outrebounded an opponent for the first time this season
chrisd - January 10, 2012
probably because of the offensive ones
offensive ones=more missed shots
agolden - January 10, 2012
Also, I'm not impressed by the Blazers.
There were extremely lucky with their shots and the refs were basically handing them the game. If you are only up by 3 and that is the case, wow, not a great team.
SurfinQ00 - January 10, 2012
They looked pretty good to me.....
Rock solid defense, good players at all positions, decent depth off the bench. Of course they were making shots- they were all wide open.
They destroyed us off the high pick and roll with Aldridge and Felton.
NewCavsfan - January 10, 2012
Yeah, they did look good
But it seems our defense is going to make many teams look good.
mazric - January 10, 2012
That’s one of the huge problems. Case and point, that Bucks game.
dulciusXasperis - January 10, 2012
I think they were lucky with some plays (that one bs tip in) and the refs helped them out.
The Clips were pretty much handicapped and the Blazers could only get a small win. That’s not good in my books. If this were a playoff series, the refs’ attention would have been called to their lop sided calls.
SurfinQ00 - January 10, 2012
I have to admit
They played physically and if that is what the ref’s will let you get away with we should too. Except were not allowed to do that.
mazric - January 10, 2012
Sorta agree
No denying they’re a good team but f—k me they got bailed out all night. Whatever the reason, refs scared of loud fans are just hate the Clippers; they were wildly inconsistent.
dulciusXasperis - January 10, 2012
impressed with their defense!
but im also impressed with their shooting! and I am unimpressed with our offense and defense!
in other words I’m pissed!
ThaFoX - January 10, 2012 via Android app
Shittiest called game ever
I have never seen such a shitty job by any refs in any sport. And what the F was that game management. I’m still in WTF mode right now
Controversysells - January 10, 2012 via mobile
wtf mode = why-the-foul?!?!?!? mode
agolden - January 10, 2012
Lol exactly
Controversysells - January 10, 2012 via mobile
I say this loss was all DJ
He kept leaving Aldridge alone to help CP3 defend Felton. I mean, come on man, Aldridge was killing us all night and yet he decides to give him free shots. Come on DJ, you’re better than that.
ClipperBEAST - January 10, 2012
Why do you foul?
…when you are only down three with 29 seconds left?
Well, they got close and definitely put a scare in Portland. Pretty much nobody beats Portland in the Rose Garden.
saxmanager - January 10, 2012
called impulse, courtesy of that effed up Jersey boy
agolden - January 10, 2012
Come on, let's be honest
It was 25.9 seconds left. If you don’t foul there, you’re likely looking at a second (or less) to get off a desperation three.
ReignMan - January 10, 2012
Blazers fans
We need to learn form the Portland fans, their building is loud as h3ll. We need to bring that same energy to our team every time at Staples., especially when we’re supposed to be playing home against the Lakers…
kikyexcel - January 10, 2012
h3ll????
gangsta?
agolden - January 10, 2012
It's a good point.
One of the reasons it’s so hard to win at the Rose Garden. Their fans get up and yell over anything and everything. Even when their team is struggling they cheer loud as a moral boost. Same with Thunder fans.
dulciusXasperis - January 10, 2012
So glad we have another few days off until our next game to fix the problems.
all jokes aside, it was a good game. Sure some of the calls may have sucked towards the end, but we got beat by a better “team” in their homecourt today. We have better players and hopefully we will learn defense and become a better team in the future. It’s safe to say we are pretty evenly match up against the Blazers right now. Clearly if we meet them in the playoffs then home court advantage will be key.
chrisd - January 10, 2012
ummm we play tomorrow

Caron Butler's 2 missed lay-ups cost us the game?
nah, i can’t say that cause he actually kept us in the game. Let’s see, i’ll add DJ’s lack of boxing out in the 4th quarter costing us the game.
chrisd - January 10, 2012
Blake's two foot short FT cost us the game

Haven't kept up with Portland.
Do they always get these calls at home?
SurfinQ00 - January 10, 2012
considering how bad the Lakers play against them at the Rose Garden for the last decade
I’d say yes
dulciusXasperis - January 10, 2012
Refs were indeed horrible
But the bad calls went both ways. IE DeAndre(?) stepping in on the inbound pass… HOW DO YOU MISS THAT
s0iled - January 10, 2012
I've taken time to digest this game and here's what I came up with
WTF????
Controversysells - January 10, 2012 via mobile
Is that towards...
a) VDN’s Coaching
b) The “Refs”
c) Blake Griffin’s Last 26 Second Heroism
d) All of the above.
Here is a hint, there is no wrong answer.
SurfinQ00 - January 10, 2012
Yea but most of all it's WTF
Controversysells - January 10, 2012 via mobile
Everyone talking about Kobe's big game.
I think they fail to realize that that isn’t exactly a good sign. He is basically carrying the whole team, and yes, this can win you league games. But then Laker fans wonder why they lose in the playoffs?
SurfinQ00 - January 10, 2012
+/- stuff
Highest +: Evans +4 in 17 minutes
Lowest -: Cook -14 IN 5 MINUTES
Acim1234 - January 10, 2012
2 late game timeouts.
Play 1: VDN called a basic play. Inbound to the wing, then have the inbounder run off a screen to get open up top. This play has worked before.
In this case, the pass (I forger the passer) was late, and Chauncey (the shooter) didn’t get a clean look. He bailed out and mahe a mid range shot and 1.
Play 2: VDN calls the SAME PLAY. Portland just denies it, and we end up with a BG turnover. He had a whole timeout and he didnt’t draw up a play. What does he do?
LJ Hann - January 10, 2012
You keep blaming VDN in this.
Was it him who told them to foul? No, that was Griffin’s doing.
Was it him who told Griffin to do it all himself? No, that was Griffin’s doing.
All in all, I agree that he is a terrible coach. However, don’t try to pin this all on him. Griffin made terrible decisions in the end game.
SurfinQ00 - January 10, 2012
VDN actually made a couple good VDN moves tonight.
He did a good time out once, plus when he changed his mind to keep Reggie in when he was doing well (although they ran it up again when we pulled to within 2).
chrisd - January 10, 2012
Where did I pin it all on VDN
just piping in about some terrible play calling.
I agree about Griff
LJ Hann - January 10, 2012
You seemed to focus on VDN's play calling in this post...
SurfinQ00 - January 10, 2012
Oh yeah
I posted about the play calling. Blake had nothing to do with the play calling. I blame VDN for calling a repeat play and putting Blake in a position where he could make that play.
The overall loss, no, I don’t blame Vinny for all of that. But the playcalling? Absolutely on the coach.
LJ Hann - January 10, 2012
Too bad we lost...
But the Clips played fairly well despite Chris Paul having a terrible game and took it all the way to the end. The Rose Garden’s a tough place to play in, and the Clips hung around despite all of their mistakes. Not bad for a team still trying to figure each other out.
As for VDN, we can’t blame him for that late game foul by Blake Griffin. That was ALL on Griffin – he played wayyyy too close to Felton. It was an easy call by the refs.
I too felt that PDX got some calls going their way, but we already know that the more aggressive team will usually get the calls, so I wasn’t too surprised with the calls.
Chalk it up as a good learning experience, and move on the next game.

chrisd - January 10, 2012
there's no system
i feel like our team is based completely on individual play. there’s no set plays, no system. if paul is not able to create because he’s got an off night, it’s basically all about 1 on 1 plays. DJ and blake are below average screen setters and defenders who still haven’t learned to switch on defense. this team will make the playoffs because of talent. but unless dj and blake make some progress on playing team defense we will make an early exit.
zac4president - January 10, 2012
