SECOND HALF THREAD LEGGO!
Go Clippers!

Butler and Griffin carrying this team with some help from Reggie Evans and Foye.

Glad to be here
You're in Australia right?
Indeed I am.... are you?
No I'm in beautiful downtown Los Angeles at the moment

At work…not at the game sadly

I'd love to trade places with you.

I’ll give you my house in Melbourne for yours in LA

Hmmmmmm

Tempting…..

just wondering

have you ever seen a free koala bear next to your place?

and in paris they have to mini-eiffels running around

no?

And in Belgium they have....

i got nothing here

where's tin-tin?
beer and chocolate
no waffles

or pretty girls?

waffles are overblown

chocolate too

beer not

yeah

and you can get 3 of those for 2euros

isn't Melbourne

warn this time of year though? The Australian Open!

Yeah it is stinking hot.

No koalas near me, but I did see a kangaroo jumping down the street a few weeks ago……was a very weird sight !

And also a dead one on the side of the road this morning
lol im an aussie too

im near sydney though , (wollongong)

see kangeroos all the time

you should sneak up on one and put up 32 jersey on it!
sick of that tournament

our media goes crazy because Kim Clijsters (and in the past Justine Hennin) had some success there

that's true

great Belgian tennis players!

lol

im some what sick of kim

Who will get the Jumbaco of the game
Cook for not playing
VDN for not playing Cook until junk time
cook is out

ankle

cook out with sprained ankle
Maybe a little of that Jasen Powell magic can extend this injury
should his ankle get it then ?

for injuring itself at the right time

I think he is injured
If CB and BG continue to play like they are

Cook will get in.

Humphries looks lazy out there
Who was more valuable in the first half..... Foye or Billups?

Stats say Foye, which would therefore make CP3 redundant

Bilups presence made it so Foye could put up the good numbers

= importance

which doesn't take away the fact

Foye is creating

that's because they are splitting the offense between the two
Foye

But at the same time, without Billups, I am not sure Foye would play as well.

Foye had a strong half

Esp vs DW. He deserves credit.

Foye bailed us out a few times last season.
i think Foye is a pretty good

call it being a homer

He is a good backup

Mike and Ralph were being homers when they said he would start on most teams. He just wouldnt.

Gotta love when he trashed the Knicks with all those 3-pointers
First you take the Jumbo Jack, then you add 2 tacos, Whaddya get?
JUMBACO JUMBACO JUMBACO
Should we double Johan Petro?
nah

let johan petro beat u i say

Shouldn't we just guard him.
Naw

How things are is fine. I prefer him shoot than the Nets getting everyone involved and have them start chucking 3’s.

This game gives me hope that the Clippers can rest CP3 for Utah maybe

Maybe.

Utah's tough tho...
Utah is feisty. I watch a little of their game last night.

Their tv guys were talking about the Clippers and they are looking forward to us.

What did they say? Did they pull a Jason Terry?
no, they are just excited to play us. they are ready for us.

i don’t think it’s going to be an easy game.

Cool. That punk Jason Terry said last season that the Clippers were not a good team.
We're winning the rebounding battle: 11 to 5
Humphries is getting plowed like his ex's rear end.
theres more then one guy scoring on him ?
ouch

racy, but I’ll let it slide

The whole NFL knows that too well.
Blake just bumrushed Humpries
Anyone else like Lil Wayne?

Very energetic and he sticks with his defender.

So far so good
you kind of want to get away from your defender
smart foul

foye

How was that not a foul
finally home....the radio just didnt do it justice
Foye is looking too scared to take a shot.
he isn't catching cleanly
yer not a good sign , he had 2 good looks on that play
he could use a little restraint
Clippers can't seem to put these guys away.

I know it’s early, but Nets are always knocking on the door.

if we took a shot

every time Blake got a regular season double double. We would take 66 shots

LOB CITY
wow...awesome.

It never, nor will it ever, get old

BG another double, double for him
Big man lob city!
Lob #2 completed.
hahahaha.. LOVE IT!
LOB CITY!!!

Damn my feed is late lol

they are moving the ball

a thing of beauty

humpries

didnt even react, had no idea where the ball went

Marshon Brooks

Was the guy I .was liking most in the draft.

Looking good

I bet you guys D Will is so jealous of CP3!
he can play Sg for us if he wants
D Will looks miserable there. He looks like he wants out of NJ.
i cant remember

did we go after him when he wanted out of utah

You mean to tell me that he doesn't enjoy playing with Kris? :-)
And Farmar?
That too. Aren't they more exciting than Blake and DJ? LOL
I think he's in a Dallas state of mind right now.
Marshon Brooks looks like the best player on their team right now
Why did Avery just take a TO?
well their ball handler

was waving his arms like a maniac

I’m guessing he is just frustrated

to tell his guys its over

where packing our bags n going home

the NC vs Florida State game a couple day ago
AJ doing his best Vinny impersination.
that is just solid D
how is butler not on the all star ballot
I was thinking the same thing
I'm guessing becase he was injured last year
Williams has no energy
Score?

Hook a brotha up.

Clippers lots and New Jersey not enough
I want to see

fortson, Leslie, Gomes, trey, solomon

not gonna happen

unless we are up 20 with 4 min to play

worst nba lineup ever?

We should slow it down.

Anyone else like when Griffin blocks shots after the play is dead?

I find it hilarious when he polks it from under the net.

i always wondered why he does that.

i agree Ralph,,, not sure why Kris Humphries gets bood
Exactly. His ex is the greedy witch. Sorry about that.
His ex has a huge booty
I'm quite sure why he is being booed

but it is mind numbing

why? nba fans watch kardashian show?
somebody is looking at it

I’m not sure why

if i was there

i’d be giving the guy a standing ovation!

yeah, it's so dumb to boo kris humphries. they should boo kim kardashan.
Maybe us NBA fans should go to one of her events and boo her
lol nah, u probably have to pay admission
don't let up

Clippers, finish strong

who forgot the 7ftr out in the perimeter!?
Okur would be a handy back-up to DJ. Would def spread the floor with his shooting
Go Clippers!!
Why does the back to back to back have to happen during finals!

:(

You have finals now too?

I am studying for history right now.

I sure as hell don't miss homework
Sucks to be in the quarter system
Cmon put these guys away
at the game

There’s this mad drunk guy behind us berating Humphries. Kind of feel bad for the guy.

Wow

Chris Paul doing a nice job on the MLK narration!

not sure if i want to start putting up these cabinets

or finish watching the game…

Stay with the game, or at least until we score 100.....it's the Law
I kept watching the game

while there was a kitchen fire. Stick with it

Let me guess......

You burnt the salad again?

nope

it was my mom’s fault

Take that LJ's Mom!
"Mom....MEATLOAF FUCK!!"
House burnt down

but the Clippers won!!

biggest no brainer in the history of man kind,,,,

cabineTS! lol

be true to your handle
atta boy Foye!
Rest Blake..put in Reggie.
You could sub me in for Blake and we'd still win
anyone notice Caron doesnt make as many shots when he is hesitant?
most players don't

It’s hard to make 25 ft bombs when you second guess yourself.

Too many TO for the Clips
that's a really rough hard foul
How is that a jump ball?
Low scoring 3rd quarter
If ony Shelden Williams played for Team USA.....

You could say he had a comparble college & NBA career to Christian Latener

Has anyone noticed the new BONUS

yellow flag on the score box on FSN? I like it! I first noticed it during the Heat game. Now if only the players knew it during the game!!

Yeah I definitely noticed it

I think espn added it as well.

surprised morrow hasn't played that much
Gomes... Why??
Because he is Gomes and he knows no other way
Look at Reggie's smile..he's great.
Love's life, loves his career, loves the Clippers and loves Blake
a little too much...
Well if I was in his shoes, I'd be the same except for my erection 24/7
He motivates guys with his play. You have to love him.
let's make a bucket please.
he makes 1

HELL YEA

Reggie Evans makes all his free throws 18% of the time.

Brooks steal of the draft
man those threes are annoying

It’s the only thing keeping in the game

The Clipper FT% is helping.
yea, a disappointing 47%...
cat

dressed up

Cuttino Mobley in the house!
who is that sitting next to Cat
Cat looking real smooth!
FT Shooting

I once heard Rick Barry talk about being able to teach any players, esp Shaq like guys, shoot FTs in the 90s like he did…by using his shooting style…He said most won’t take his advice because the way they look while doing it. I believe this is true.

good rebound by trey
Gomes with the bailout
Sheldan Williams has never improved. He was the #5 pick one year.
Goodness gracious Shelden Williams is ugly
Sheldon vs Popeye

who you got?

seldom used phrase

great job gomes

Pedro's face as he walks away fro. Reggie
have to learn how to deliver knock out punch
have to learn how to deliver knock out punch
didn't realize that Okur was on one of the championship Piston teams
big reason why teams pursued him so much the following summer
If Trey shows that he's servicable, Cook will never play again.
that's the hope!
we'll he isn't really doing that
that would be a damn shame
trey is 1-5

not great

still better than what cookie was giving u
I just hope he doesnt fall too much in love with 3 's

He’s got more offensive weapons than that

ugh

end of this third made me sick

that's the reality

we are missing Paul and Mo

I hope they can hold on....

…against this inferior team!

Wow..

4 seconds left and C Fort was right next to the inbounder. Go near half court to get a better shot!!

Can we hire Mobley as a coach or something? He comes to our games anyway!
Any possiblity CP3 can play tomorrow?
we're +16 on the boards. we are not going to be the worse rebounding team in the league anymore
Has Foye ever thrown a pass to anyone, ever?
well he does have 8 assist
all accidental
I think accidental assists are part of advanced stats
ok, that last one was awesome,,,anyting but accidental
9th assist wasnt accident
a lot of Blake's highight dunks are from Foye

Including the famous Mozgov Dunk

Great block by Trey

and nice hustle on the next play

Trey with a block.
Technically goaltend lol
that's due to Evans effort

man he’s fighting

See Y'all later bout to get me a JUMBACO
didn't post much in that thread but I fully support jumbaco
yea i know

i’ve been busy today

sean williams?!?

wrong year, ralph

Poor Sheldon

he looks like a bad make your own character in 2K.

Thats effed up...but true
He has millions of dollars to comfort himself
He has a crazy forehead
Jones and Leslie are glued to the bench..they need to be freed.
there's a reason

do you want to lose?

leslie moreso

aside from atrocious ft shooting, don’t mind that rotation, with a little trey

badly need a scoring big though off the bench

Be content that Trey's getting time.

Let’s not get too greedy

Watch out for Candace Parker's husband
Come on guys, put them away!
Reggie!Reggie!Reggie!
ready to shit yourself?

foye has 9 dishes

with 4 turnovers
nice...3 point play..2 point play for Reggie.
Where would the Clippers be without Randy Foye?
6 points for Reggie? Wow.
OH MY GOODNESS
whoa, looked pretty clean
That was a clean block
THATS A BLOCK!!!!!!!
ball first

= block

surprised mike isn't calling this Blake's new best play ever

“I mean that I’ve ever seen!!!1111”

we've been outplayed every qtr except the 1st,,,,

Wish this one ended a laugher….

Johan Petro and Shelden Williams are too good. We need to guard them.
Lead down to 7 points
Time for Caron and Chauncey
any one notice reggie on that play just then

he got open at just below the free line , then jump upped n down wanting the ball , when he didnt get it he threw his hand around n looked angry – didnt expect that type of behaviour from him

Well, he is energetic/eccentric

I noticed it, and I have no idea what he was thinking.

Uh, Reggie, what exactly are you going to do if you get the ball at the free throw line?

exactly what i was thinking

though with his hussle i could see him make something happen some how

that was a block!!
If it was a block, they would've called a travel on Blake because he fell
The whistle had already sounded either way
agreed

still that would be 2 correct calls over one bad one – ill take that every time :)

back court needs to pick it up
Happy with Foye's assists

But his shooting has been as we’ve come to expect…terrible.

9 points on 14 shots. Not gonna cut it

Time to move Blake to the 3, Reggie 4 and DJ 5

The 3 headed monster must be unleashed !

yikes...

heeeere come the nets…

This is essentially last year's team...

…and they could easily loose this game!

except were boarding
Back on the laptop

let’s finish this out

Not looking good right now

Up 9 even after NJ run. We got this

Where's butler?
Yao Ming in politics..oppressing people with communisn. nice.
Plz dont miss Gomes
gomes has been our best offensive player over the last half a quarter.
That is not good
yikes

i just checked the box score. our FT% is atrocious

put in the starters
Deron Williams is a shade of himself

It is quite sad to see – not against the Clippers though

he only has 7 points and 5 assists
Blake looks tired

they should bring in DJ for Blake for a couple minutes rest.

kevinarnovitz Kevin Arnovitz
Clippers 48.3% from the field, but 37.5% from line. When’s the last time a team was greater than 10% worse from the line?
13 minutes ago

Hmmm. I usually like to research stuff like this, but I don’t know how to get that info

go through every nba game ever

Sounds simple enough.

Doesn’t KA work for ESPN? Get that ESPNSTATSINFO guys on that

Sheldon Williams getting boards over Blake.
time to put back starters please
Blake needs to sit.
Blake stuck at 19 points and 13 rebounds
his exhausted
this is pathetic

no excuse for this sorry effort right now

clips just trying not to lose

how can this only be a 5-point game?
after they listed the stats i was thinking the same thing
billups hero three
refs giving Blake nothing
I think the high minutes from the last couple games are effecting Blake
lead down to 3
blake needs a sub bad

Well, that’s not happening

WHAT THE EFFF
lol this team looks like a joke right now
Unacceptable.

Fire VDN right now.

ok, wait until they tie the game

and THEN call a timeout. no sooner

time to bring the A-game
Nets tie the game 81-81
does this team even care right now?

not even bothering recovering on defensive rotations?

its not that they dont care

blak3es dead tired you could see it he was late on his man , so help came they passed , we over rotated , they passed again , william open for the trey.

it all started with blakes miss assignment

which is cause VDN has used a bad rotation in respect to resting blake

Vinny is such an idiot
and we cant make free throws
he's so terrible
Wow......this just got interesting
No depth whatsoever, and it shows.

It doesn’t help matters when our younger players usually get no burn, because VDN feels it’s so damn important to give a bunch of minutes to Foye, Cook, and Gomes.

How is this shit tied?

Team missed roughly 800 free throws

Blake is gassed. He needs a breather.

Butler step up.

really need butler right now
wow...

there’s that noon game sluggishness!…

Tie game with the worst fucking team in the league, other than the Wizards.

We suck.

I hate Randy Foye
Their bench outscoring our bench
that is because our bench is starting
bench is depleted...

this is when dj’s lack offensive game shows…

clips have just no xcuse for letting this team back in

none. they haven’t cared about this game for a quarter

I think i just threw up my jumbaco

blahhh!!!

Foye has played the most minutes today. 4-15 fg.
VDN needs to ride the hot hand and rely on Foye's defensive presence
So we beat some of the best teams but can't beat the Nets?
we are down both our point guards since then
this guy brooks is a bit kobe like

that shot goes with that too

We fucking SUCK!
How the sh*t has randy foye taken 15 shots?

DAMN IT FOYE.

ERIK!! Watch your language

go to Mr. Raffo’s office

and he scored 4 in a row so shut it
cant blame it all on Foye

Blake missed 11 fts

Yes!!

Foye Time!!!

can we fire vdn now?
Foye..stepping up..
Foye said this is his team..haha.
sigh of relief
Foye finally does something...

but I’m SOOOOO sick of his chucking.

foye!!! i love you!!
MAN why the * is there no foul!?
foye!! I hate you!!
" he takes his kids to school on the subway"

no way Deron stays in New Jersey

Okay i didn't see 9 assists

I hate you Foye, but I don’t hate hate you today.

Bill ups!!!!!!
B-B-B-Billups!
This is horrible
It could be worse, it could be way worse
Holy crap our ft% wtf.

kevinarnovitz Kevin Arnovitz
Clippers 48.3% from the field, but 37.5% from line. When’s the last time a team was greater than 10% worse from the line?
13 minutes ago

I got 48% from the line

SO AWESOME

we can blame blake for that one
He's shooting worse from the line than Randy Foye is shooting from the field

Way to go Blake.

Still living off of that 1st quarter
these are the games we need

learn how to win the ugly ones

I'm sorry, CP3 or no...

a game against the NETS should never be this ugly.

well it is so we need to pull it out
we got swept last year

imagine what it would have been like with out the guys we traded to get chris paul in those games

they would have folded

Kaman was a talent but had no killer instinct to win games

Gordon probably would have dribbled the ball off his shoe and pouted...

either that, or he would have been carted off with an injury before halftime.

DJ blocked it in
we need a late first rounder to get a Brooks
this game

so ugly

Chris Paul is literally our coach right now.

PLEASE just fire VDN… it’s sad.

We probably need to give some better looks to Butler

It’s quite crazy he only got 20 p with the first qtr he had

our free throw shooting is embarassingly bad
Any win is pretty!
well guys

we got swept last year

imagine what it would have been like with out the guys we traded to get chris paul in those games

Hopefully VDN will draw up a good play

Like having all the guys standing around while Chauncey dribbles, sees nothing happening, then takes a bad shot

it's VDN's go-to play
the kobe play you mean

disregarding open guys under the basket

fwiw Chauncey does a lot of that regardless of coach
why do I get the feeling that we will lose to the Nets today?

i am work and not watching the game by the way

cmon DJ knock these down
keep the faith
dj made a FT.. .anything is possible
POSSSIIBUUUUUUUUUUUUUUL
We were not this bad last year at free throws
we added a reggie evans and lost a eric gordon
and blake went back to square -4
stop hacking

The sucks we are going to be burnt out tomorrow

at least this is an afternoon game

day and a half off

nice, blake could have also passed it to an open DJ on the side
this game wouldn't be close if Blake could hit his fts
turns out this team badly needs cp3

what a surprise

is it bad to hope randy gets fouled out?
with chauncy running the ship, its not enough.... Sorry EJ, but glad we made the trade
Randy Foye is a joke.

I said this a couple games back, but there HAS to be some cheap veterans somewhere who could do a better job than Cook, Foye, or Gomes.

he's still easily our second best guard right now with all these injuries
Foye

has taken more shots than Caron or Blake, and made less than either

He is in a contract year
hopefully someone else gives him an offer

that Olshey just can’t match

ugh that's usually a money butler shot
whats Kevin Love doing sitting behind Clippers bench?

he’s hoping to back up blake and reggie, he’s tired of losing all the time.

man dude looks just like him lol
yeah, he has a game later tonight..he better catch his flight
if Kevin Love

is going to Los Angeles, he needs to be a Clipper, Lakers suck rocks

caron should not hesitate so much
he didnt in the first quarter , n he was money
blake just swatting a couple of balls out of bounds
almost there Clips dont quit
VDNs clipboard looks like he had a seisure while drawing up the play
That's the way his mind works
It's his first time

never drawn upa play before

literally looked like he changed his mind a few times and scribbled the old plays up instead of erasing
haha

The seizure would explain his substitution patterns

we've benefitted from the officiating this game
I know foye isn't shooting well

but he is our 5th guard. We have 3 guards out that are ahead of him.

i think Foye played better than Chauncy
Mr. Big Shot strikes again!
3 more points for the win... ITS THE LAW
was a bit of a hero three, but got open on the switch

nice

a smart three though
B-B-B-BILLUPS
SOMEBODY LEFT THE GATE OPEN
its always nice when ur injured hall of fame pg, gets switched with another all star pg
not so nice when you have 2 all star pgs out

and Randy Foye starts

Man, was that clutch
Chauncey!!!

Lawler’s law is close

i guess Chauncy doenst mind anymore playing for the Clips?

haha

Then again.....

…this years we have CHAUNCEY!

This is just hilarious
Kim Kardashian Breaks Down In Tears Over Marital Woes: ‘I Just Got Caught Up In The Fairytale’
What type of fair tale include Humphries?
lol

i was on a plane switching through chans avail and there was an old kardashian ep where kim was talking about being ready for a baby

never watch that crap but I watched that ep for the lols

I caught my daughter who is 12 watching that crappy show with Kim and her family.

I told her and my ex (her mom) that show was unacceptable. Not based on reality.

Our main guys Foye and Griffin logged in too many minutes for this game.

We really need them tomorrow in top form.

Foye doesn't belong in that sentence

Caron and Chauncey and DJ do. Foye will (hopefully) not start tomorrow.

it was a bad joke.
blake is always hustling
I think Foye's new name should be Freakshow....

“Name’s Randy, but everybody calls me Freakshow.”

We move the ball, break the press

and Foye holds it and gets a jump ball….

Success!
and loses the jump

of course

Hey Randy

See how Chauncey is shooting a low FG%, but since he made his 3’s and gets to the line, he’s got 18 points on 16 shots. Your dumb ass has 13 points on 17 shots. gtfo please.

Foye is cool, stop with the attacks
He's fine when he's not shooting so many low quality jumpers

He’s one of the better finishing guards on the team when he drives, but he never ever drives. He’s choosing to take those bad shots, and therefore, I bring on the haterade…

He's a quantity shooter

He’s not a high percentage guy. But someone needs to shoot the ball every posession, and when Evans Gomes, etc are on the floor also, there’s not a lot of options.

Okay I'll definitely concede that

I’d rather have Foye taking a bail out jumper than Gomes or any of the other bench guys. Even though he shoots a crappy percentage, when he’s taking bail out shots he’s usually shooting that same crappy percentage. He seems unphased by D (and unphased by being wide open haha)… so in that way, you know what you’re getting with Foye every time. But if he’s with the starters, he needs to be smart enough to defer to the efficient players.

10 assists
hopefuly Mo is ready to go tomorrow
I don't know

I don’t think that was a jump ball, Farmar had one hand on it

this team is really bad in the half court without paul
yes, Kaman is gone

People stated his game was half court and did not fit with the team. Clips don’t “need” him

wonder where he ends up....im assuming NOLA would be looking to trade him this year for piacks, young assets, etc
always need half court players

titles aren’t won running

we dont need more shot jacking though

Also healthy players don’t hurt to have there are options for us ill be happy with Sheed

Foye had 13/10 on 17 shots

Paul would have had 23 and 10 on 7 shots

not sure how anyone can be so down on Foye when we have a guy named "cookie" in our rotation
He isn't playing tonight

they need someone to yell at

lol i suppose

Blame Blake if you want to blame someone for letting the lead get away

Thankfully, he's out today...

otherwise he would have spotted the Nets a 10-point lead.

....its the law
game set match
and it's back to double digits
ITS THE LAW!!
Ralph says

it’s the Law :)

iTS ABOUT TO BE THE LAW
THE LAW IS THE LAW
"avery johnson gets paid to coach, so he'll do some coaching"

Chris Paul says, “why can’t we get one of those?”

I like Humphries, he can back up Blake and Reggie on our team any time.

He’s invited next season.

how generous of you
THERE'S THAT LAW AGAIN
Leslie played really well today

We knew he was going to step up in some increased minutes with Paul and mo out…

^^^sarcasam
DJ and Trey dancing on the bench..hahaaha.
Have a nice trip to my home state tomorrow Clippers!
this second half was a really poor effort from our clips

despite the score

It's a win, and I'll take those any day!
Settle down, Mike Smith. Settle down. :-)
LAWLER'S LAW

holy Hawaii shirt Batman
ugly wins! ;)
i can get back to work now... its only 315PM .. lol
I'm on campus now. Did we win?
A win and rest for CP3....

…is a beautiful thing!

You guys hear about Dwight?

Via Sheridan, he has added Clips to wishlist

say what?

we dont have the assets, althought a Blake, DJ, Dwight big man rotation would look sexy

DJ would be gone

we dont have the $$$ to pay 10 mil on a backup center.

And Blake/Dwight both crowd the paint… one would need to be able to shoot

nobody cares

what Sheridan says. Also, we didn’t keep EJ cause we didn’t want to have 3 max players + DJ

Lakers' worst nightmare
Sheridan is useless

unless we are talking about international basketball, other than that take everything he says with a mountain of salt.

DJ + Mo + Picks.. Git'er dun! ;)
lol
John Ireland and Mychal Thompson

Of all people, these two guys talking about how Dwight should wait till this summer, ask Adidas for a huge $ deal like the one D-Rose got, and then sign for midlevel with Clips.

Not that i think its gonna happen, but how funny is it the Laker guys are talking about how Dwight can get to Clips while keeping CP and Blake

that would be awesome

keeping DJ in the mix with Blake and Dwight would be looking at the W record

I'm shocked

They aren’t just talking about how he will immediately sign with the Lakers when he’s available? Bizarro world…

That would be incredible...

but I think the streets in LA would be flooded by Laker bandwagoners’ tears.

well we are in a drought no? haha
nearly 1,000 comments

not too shabby for a holiday afternoon, eh?
Still, not quite the Lakers or Heat game.

So Dwight is getting wise all of a sudden?
But then DJ would be on the bench. $43 mil for a bench player? Nah
DJ would have to go the other way

it would have to be DJ/Bledsoe/Foye/Gomes
or DJ/Bledsoe/Mo

A win's a win...

but ugh, that game was gross at the end.

tha 1st quarter really saved us... only period we won
It was not a very good game
If Blake

was shooting 75% from the line he would probably be averaging some 27 pts a game

here ya go

http://www.cbssports.com/mcc/blogs/entry/22748484/34428410

again it is citing Sheridan

who as we established is worthless in terms of credibility for the most part.

well basically it says if Orlando doesnt trade Dwight, Clips could look into a sign and trade

or we could sign him for less than the max as cassellmania mentioned and have Dwight get the money from his endorsements, being in large market makes up the difference

True... that's how the LA galaxy did it with David Beckham. Endorsements made up

for part of his salary.

When Chauncey came in and restored order,,,,

…it looked just fine to me.

Clippers are 2nd in the west!

Feels good, man

stats to chew on

Blake: 23/14/3 4TO 5-13 FT
Caron: 20/6/5 3Steals 15pts in Q1
DJ: 12/9 4blocks
Billups: 20/4 5-16 FG
Foye: 13/10 5 TO 6-17 FG
Fortson(NBA debut): 2assists, 1 rebound in 9 minutes
Trey: 2pts, 5reb 1-5FG
Travis: DNPCD
Solomon: DNPCD

And we got 4-digit comments on these combined threads

niiiiice

Clips trade Mo, Bledsoe DJordan

for DHoward,,, think this is a good deal?

lol
We can't put together a good deal

It would have to be that fantasy scenerio of Howard taking midlevel and big endorsment $

In a heartbeat... I'd do it
As long as he committed to resigning a long term deal

Can we keep CP3, Blake & Dwight on long term deals? They would hae to sacrifice for each other ala Miami

Not as long as we have DJ

he has to go

they would want Blake too
they would want Blake too
well we wouldn't give Blake for dwight

it would be “anybody but CP3/Blake”

I would do it

But I think Orlando can get better, or will let him walk.

If the Lakers offer a Bynum + Pau

They win the sweepstakes in a second… but does Dwight resign with a team with just Kobe?

Nope

I dont think he’s into the idea of following Shaq’ footsteps either, which is why he’s more into the idea of Nets, or now. . .Clippers

I don't think

that Dwight wants to follow Shaq’s footsteps. and can Dwight replace Pau AND Bynum?

double nope

Kobester on the twilight of his career

"We ere without Chris, and Mo... and Cookie, yeah"

“Those are 3 pieces we need every night”

—Chauncey

he forgot to mention JUMBACO!
hey if the team members have confidence in their team mates, maybe we as fans should to?
I trust CP3 and Mo

and I won’t argue with VDN putting Cook over TT/SJ but I would like to see Sheed

DJ with 12 points, 9 rebounds, and 4 blocks...

Please do that every game!

curious

Blake and CP3 all will be free agents at same time, wonder if they would be willing to structure lower level deals to get D12 here

and if D12 would take less...

if he got a DROSE-like Adidas deal.

its a thought, then you got a beast in DJ coming off the bench
I think they have to trade DJ

get out of his salary and add a SG.

you sure?

Chauncy has been doing well so far,, just think of the open shots he would get if we added D12 in the mix

he is also 35.

I like him this year and next year, but we need to get a long-term SG

true
I like the taller SGs...

Paul George/DeMar DeRozan/Landy Fields

i like Derozan but he will want an EJ type deal

whatever EJs market is

I don't think we will get any of them

just players in that mold

Would be INSANE

And yeah, they would have to deal DJ for SG. But boy . . .
talk about taking over LA. Forget the Heat, we’d win not 1, not2, no3. . .hahaha

or,,,,, DTS just opens up the bank and goes into luxary tax
lol

ok

just call it reparations for us clipper fans

for all the years of misery

maybe if DTS dies...

wait, nevermind. He’s never gonna

With CP3, Blake and DH on the same team, I bet you he'd do it. He could

see more $ signs flashing before his eyes.

maybe old luxury tax

where it was 1:1…
but now it’s like 1:4.5

True but just imagine

ticket sales, merchandise, sponsorship… they would all just skyrocket

yep

not many people have Clips jerseys, everyone has a Faker Jersey, no point in buying another one just because Kobe changes his number

The billboards we see now would be nothing compared to what

a DH signing would do

he won't go deep in the luxury.

nobody will. that’s the point of making it so steep. maybe a thousand, a million… but not 10 million… how many jerseys do you need to sell to get up to $45,000,000 extra?

well, we will never know until it happens,

anyhow, good win, see ya’ll tomorrow

But then again, you could structure his salary (DH) in a way that could

also include sponsorships
