ClipperBEAST is 1st
theres a game on?
no

just foye shooting around.

Go Clippers!

Lets get some ball movement on offense. Stick with butler at the 2 and Gomes at the 3. Foye is awful today.

When isn't he?
That Is What They Were Trying To Do When They Put Reggie In

But the ball kept getting stuck in his hands LOL

7:15 Right On Time
HEY HEY MEO MIO MEO MIO, HEY HEY!!

2nd best commercial on TV right now

LMAO!!!

hands down the (2nd) best.

fosterdj D.J. Foster
More praise for VDN (!): Going zone is a great way to rest his guys. Let Miles and co. hurt you from outside, not with slashing.
16 minutes ago
THIS THREAD BE GITTIN CRAY
Missed the first half

sounds like my predictions been on point.

Question: Why bring Mo and CP3 to SLC if they can’t play, wouldn’t it be better to stay in LA and just get more rest/treatment?

I think they were game time decisions
Thats totally correct, too bad Jason Powell is our trainer and VDN our coach
So they can coach
Somebody get our team some Jumbacos ASAP

Even tho were losing Jumbaco always cheers me right up
Foye is pathetic
Foye really sucks
Whats a jumbaco

I keep hearing

burger taco combo at Jack
A Jumbo Jack squeezed between two tacos
Version #2

of too big to eat

GET THE REBOUND AND TAKE IT BACK FOY!!!!!!!!!
We had 8 or 9 opportunities to pull within 10

Sigh

Foye 1-6 now

sounds about right

and you guys see Blake shooting those long jumpers

that’s called a bad shot.

Who is this "Foye" ya'll speak of?
we should just dribble the ball around for 24 seconds and try to draw some fouls

this game is winnable, fellas

Just put in Leslie!!
sleep time. take care everyone
#wearesocool #hashtagswag

I can't believe Foye didn't take that

he was so not open!

Foye, seriously just had a hoop
Oh man from rags to riches

saw a shot clock violation coming and then Foye found DJ. Foye for MVP!

Foye's trying real hard to get that stick out of his ass
Hot Girl?

Anyone see her? Tiget Woods fist jerk after the lob?

anyone?

Im a loser baby.
The Jumbaco girl

lol

Lets go guys!! Jumbaco is working!!!!!
SINGLE DIGITS

let’s go 3rd quarters

Reggie needs to threaten every one with a tug party if they don't pick up the energy.
Looks like they got their Jumbaco fix at halftime
Not really

Now they just look bad instead of looking putrid.

HI NEWCAVSFAN!!!
Sup
The Warriors won

And I’m fine with that. Cavs need a higher draft pick. Tristian is turning out to be a major disappointment.

I want a jumbaco!

Has anyone actually eaten one?Are they good?
Put Em In A Mixer LOL

JUMBACO JUICE!

how did jumbaco become a meme?
long story

when I endorsed it, nobody could stop it

I feel it comin'
It's hard to believe that we're only down 8

If we just start doing our thing…

Hey Clips,

Are you guys gonna be okay?

Damn link!!! I hate you!
Boy, Foye gets no respect from the refs

He was fouled twice on that play

he's Randy Foye
He was suppose to be the next D Wade coming out of college
I don't reaspect him either
More like Boy Toye

AM I RIGHT?

can we rest Chauncey cause he's shooting us out of this game
Billups needs to just stop shooting
Another layup
Bring in lil wayne
"Milsap took the best of that effort right on his face"
Foye does something good
Get up Harris...
I know right

Stop acting like a b*tch

I don't really care if we win or lose... this game is just super boring
FOYE U FREAKIN SUCK

WHENEVER U CROSS SOMEBODY YOU ALWAYS MISS THE SHOT!!

Maybe now they'll call it when he's fouled
Didn't realize BG has another double-double

I just got hungry, should I get a Jumbaco or In n Out?

Get 2 tacos from Jack in the box, and put a double double between them.

best of both worlds

Wait...

the box score says Paul played 22 seconds?

boxscore lied
played patty cake
Hahaha

It does LMAO

Chauncey doesn't look like he wants to be there
His back doesn't want to be here
Game May Be Boring But The Stories Are Good
Vince Carter to sit out tomorrow

https://twitter.com/#!/ArashMarkazi/status/159477419374415872

tragic
Can't believe how he just got injured coming down
he gets inexplicably injured rather often
He's faking it
no one fakes an injury

except LeBron and Wade

Yeah, I said it. BRING IT ON!

cmon weezy lead us to a victory!
FIGHT, YOU NITWITS, FIGHT!
how do we keep fouling them?
this game is in the refrigerator...

and the jumbaco is jigggling

Wow....i think im almost done.

if they dont care, netiher will I.

Bring it down to 8 only to give it all right back

multiple times tonight.

Oh no we suck again!

Any links to listen to clipper post game talk online?
really?? you want to listen to it??
Uh we need to play better defense, uh no easy baskets, uh...
yes so i can hear the bull they like the shovel
I don't understand!

The Jazz are supposed to suck!
……..
Aren’t they?

They are 8-4

and 6-1 at home. So no, they aren’t sucky by any means.

How is this happening?

Don’t they have virtually the same roster as last year?

Mmm

well they pretty good for 60% of the season then collapsed at the end. They added Burks and Kanter. Al Jefferson got into great shape. Also Hayward and Miles are a year older and presumeably improved.

They also added vets Bell and Watson

Who have hit big shots tonight

This is Watson's and Bell's

2nd year with the Jazz.

Randy Foye needs to leave the Clippers
No Cookie Tonight?
He's playing like a Cookie

And not a smart one.

Maybe Fortson Can Channel CP3
or brandon jennings
we need some of this

with a Jumbaco on the side
This game is brutal

A world of hurt indeed. Well said Ralph.

I'd rather we lived in a world of love and lust.
some one post that Jumbaco picture!!

Its good luck!!

what vdn said during time out:

“lets do the same play, but this time guys make the shot!”

That's sound advice

always make the shot, duh.

Heh Foye with the long 2 ball

no WAY

Heh

no one really eats it that way do they? And man it doesn’t look that appealing. I remember when it was THREE tacos for a dollar.

Jazz

are not playing that great, Clippers needs to go on a run!

Body Language Not Looking Good
Let's just jack up threes

Eventually some will fall

it works for Antwan Jamison
Sure does

Varejao is having a great year though.

He is

I’m conflicted. The Cavs are playing great basketball…and yet this is not their year.

You're welcome

that Irving kid looks really good. He impressed me against the Lakers last week.

Heh

that was a pretty audible slap

ok trey you want minutes..you better start earning them this game

Clippers are so much better at home and when that little #3 plays

Goodness, we stink without CP3
I think we would be okay if we had Mo and Bledsoe
You're like you were last year

Except with Chauncy

VDN should put in Fortson, Leslie, Caron, Trey, and Jones

and just say….go have fun

Need to rest Caron

give Gomes those minutes.

They don't look motivated
Must be the altitude

must be attitude

CP3 is limping pretty badly

why do I get the feeling this season is going to end exactly like a Clipper season…crushing dissapointment

C'mon no way!!
Ill gladly GLADLY eat crow

if im wrong…

I'm going to go get some school work done

going to chalk this up to a schedule loss mixed with injury woes.

wow our second unit has no idea what they are doing out there
Now We See Why Fortson Was In the D-League Ugh
this is a disgrace

Lets go home..

clippers shouldve just stayed home...

and just have fortson, thompkins, foye, solomon and gomes play 48 minutes tonight

Stern advised against it

no leslie?
oh yeah leslie can be the 6th man
Highlight Of The Night Reggie To Shoot Free Throws?
Really not worth the time to review this...

Reggie will miss both

Kanter looks pretty big to me

he dwarfs Evans.

Yea But He Is Slow and Slower
Evans is 6'9 but weighs under 200
Mike Smith, Jazz are not "Top 10 Team"

Talk about being a homer.

Heat, Bulls, Hawks, 76ers, Pacers, Thunder, Clippers, Lakers, Nuggets, Spurs, Mavericks all are better.

Mike Smith=Morman

Utah=Morman Land
Obviously some bias.

i wonder if he is wearing his magic underwear
Well

After tonight they will be 9-4 which ties them for 2nd best record in the West.

My stream switched from Ralph and Mike to the Jazz Station at halftime. It’s unbearable.

some things dont change

we arent going to win in Utah

Reggie Made A FT All ls Good LOL

are the Clips the worst FT shooting team in NBA?

Likely
yes, while also leading the league in free throw attempts per game
Foye with a -23, which sums it up
thats pretty much

his entire season wrapped up in a nice neat package. No reggie no touching.

Sigh

Jumbaco. :/

We need to score 19 points to tie this game...hmm

and hold them to doughnut

Our streak ends here, does another one begin tomorrow?
not if Randy Foye has to be depended on for a good game
I can't promise you

dunks, or wins, or defense. But I can proise you a thread.

I just had deja vu of last years clippers.....

hopefully its just a flash

hopefull cp3 is sooner rather than later
or '09 clippers.... :( ...
at least we have Gomes tonight
Foye still out there
Clippers Making a Run
Maybe...

It’s a part of VDN’s plan to rest our players for the Mavs!

Foye still out there
Remember when we had a glut of PGs and everyone was saying we needed to trade one?

Now Lil Wayne is getting heavy minutes in a game.

I'll be damn!
Better than Lil Jon

YEAAHAHHHH OKKAAAYYYY

But not as good as Lil' Kim
or T-Pain

for that matter

please rest the starters...
worst JUMBACO ever!
This is VDN's last shot.

He is trying to see if we can put a run together to make it worth putting Blake back.

Wow, the whole team doesn't pass it to the PG

Like its a respect problem.
WTF.
I see Fortson wide-open for the J, but Foye just grabs it and chucks a 30-footer miss!!!

hey

team still needs chris paul.

that fortsan kid is pretty good
no question

Fortson gets the jumbaco of the game

Could He Eat A Whole One?
he is stil 5'11 lol

not really that tiny

i think Jumbaco's are too good to give away to anybody that is playing on the Clippers today
he had his first nba points!

he has 7/2/3 in 13 minutes!

If Cook was out there...

we would have blame the team’s performance on him.

It still is cooks fault..

he’s just that bad

These Jazz announcers...

“That’s a travel!” “That’s a foul.”

they're up 20 against rookies
lil wayne reminds me of mike taylor..
Clips suck tonight...

….and that’s just the way it is!

I'm trying to look for bright spots

Best I got is Blake got a double double in 27mpg.

65 points on 68 shots. That’s not efficient :(

team needs chris paul

theyre probably just as good as last year without him

I think worse

since they are also down Mo/Baron, Kaman, EJ

well I guess Billups

and Butler kind of cancel out Mo/Baron and EJ. So down just Kaman.

is there a full jumbaco track

i need something to lift my spirits

It's another Randy Foye brick fest!
Moments like these

makes me want to punch my TV, go to sleep, and dream of D12 to the Clippers

Reggie Shot From One Foot and Missed by Two Feet LOL
there is more suits on the bench than jerseys
im going to friday's game..

i hope paul is back by then

I might be going
id say lets get a beer

but youre a kid right

lets get a kool aid

looking doubtful, unfortunately

but at least Mo should be back by then

are we guessing that just based on how vinny talked during the pregame?

or anything more substantial?

on how VDN talked pre-game by saying he expected Mo back before CP3
yeah that was discouraging
If Not You Can Tell His The Brand of His Suit
I can't afford those seats lol
Ill be there. Even if CP and Mo don't play. . .

Look on the bright side, we get to see Rubio pass and a Twolves win devalues our minny pick
But i still want a Clipper W

haha thats how im thinking
Ugh. Randy Foye. More like Randy, oy!

AmIright!?

fortson is gonna be our leading scorer

yikes!

CP3 better be back tomorrow!
Now That This Has Become A D-League Game Fortson Playing Well
this is gonna mess up our point differential
Why does that matter?

All that counts is the W/L…

Surprising score, just saw it--is it just atrocious shooting by Clips or good D by Jazz?

Ah, I see that CP was out. Well that starts to explain things.

moreso the clips are just lost without paul
he is the best pg in the league

how about Rose?

rose is a better scorer

Paul is a pure point

yeah, right on mark there, but Paul can take over a game with his scoring when necessary also. He is a suprestar
Rose is also
Paul is a better pg
Clips gave up mid-way through the first half
It was VDN giving up and not putingin our starters for most of3rd and all of 4th quarter
well that will get you a lopsided score for sure

this game may be over

it was over in the first 3 minutes
Stick A Fork In It
aka

the game is over but for a devout optimist

lol is this a stoned dog?
Dog Breath
lol... I don't think that was lettuce in your tacos

you know, the ones on each side of your jumbo jack… in your jumbaco.

The dog has glaucoma...

and a valid medical marijuana license…and a hankering for a Jumbaco!

damn you joseph smith!
Wow, our bench really sucks

Wish Cook was here LMAO

Bench Is Fine Just the Players That Came Off it Suck
This is my only concern

Why rest our starters tonight? I would have rather done it against the Mavs. Utah is a much weaker opponent and the way we played tonight we are sure to lose tomorrow too!

it's not like VDN planned on resting the starters from the beginning

they all played like shit and like they didn’t care. This game was over before halftime.

The dreaded

fortson/leslie/gomes/trey/solomon

this is bad… we’re gonna need a bigger backup center

At least break 70pts!!
Dang the C-team on the floor now... TERRRRIBLE
Jamaal Tinsley LOL
Jones/Gomez/Thompkins/Leslie/Fortson is the worst lineup ive ever seen
30 point blowout? wowwwwww
Time to recalculate the Pythag wins predictions
When in doubt think JUMBACO
Couldn't bring myself

to make a photoshop saying “think jumbaco”

Wish Cook was healthy so Gomez could get some rest
Lawlwer's Law no less!
No Watching Replay Tonight LOL
WOW

just WOW. We need some CP3

A win tomorrow

Would wash this filth away.

Kind of hard

Dallas is rested, how do we stop Dirk if we couldn’t stop Millsap/Jefferson

Millsap has the occasional wth--why is he making all these shots kinds of games every now and then.

Could be he had one tonight

Homecourt seems to pump our team up

After Billups and butler go 0-8 on threes, i doubt they have a repeat performance of that

We need depth

Laker announcers are going to be talking shit tomorrow

They have no right to talk trash

After they used ‘Lakers were on second game of back to back’ as excuse for losing to Clips. We’re also obviously minus CP and Mo- two major parts of team.

They will anyway.
true

We have to win the title for them to not talk trash. and even then, they’d say ‘well, that was a fluke’

and ‘oh thats nice you won the title. . .well, we have 16 titles bitch!’

Wowwwww.

We are TERRIBLE.

2008?

Why do I suddenly feel it’s 2008.

it is an election year

cuz you do not want Dec 21st to happen

vegas spread....utah -4 ....LOL
Joke on them haha

outscored 55-33 in 2nd half

Man w e getting bitch slapped by both the Jazz and the Jazz announcers. This is embarrassing.
via twitter

MadelynBurke Madelyn Burke
Utah fans chanting “Just – the – Cli – ppers!” as Jazz lead LAC 97-69 with 5:30 to play

better than

still the clippers

pretty sure some of them are using another 4 letter word instead of just
Pretty sad game by our team.
Glad I Don't Have To Write The Recap
I want to cry...

then have a Jumbaco to cheer me up.

Thank goodness we have CP3

nice free agent signings Neil.

I like the real one better...

I'll buy that
Wanna go splitsies?
I Could Eat One of Those in her hand
This is actually the real Miss Turkey...

…or maybe the latest one

NICE. 30 point lead without CP3 and Mo? CHAMPIONSHIP BABY!
We might need a better bench....

…to advance in the play-offs

Johnnyoc has to write tonight lol

not alot to take away

Please break 80pts!
that'll be tough
it was so bad PT had to take the game off the air
so, who is worse, Thompkins or Cookie?

i’m going with Cookie cause he’s older but it’s a crapshoot

Cookie is worse

Thompkins at least has upside. Cookie is out of the league for good after this year. Hopefully Olshey has recovered those incriminating photos by now.

well the good news is that we won't have a great offense and terrible defense rating after this gaem

just a ok offense and terrible defense

Fortson isa good shooter

He should have done that earlier

Soooo apparently...

Business end of a back-to-back + no CP3 and Mo + road game + good Jazz team = recipe for disaster.

Jazz announcer says.

“To many bricks from the Clips tonight broke the shot clock.”

lol this is good
lol thats actually kinda funny
NEWSFLASH

DTS BUYS AD SPACE CLAIMING CLIPPERS BUILD HOUSING FOR POOR IN SLC

to celebrate MLK Jr. day?
the girls iin bikinis have eased the pain a bit
This

Some SB nation blogs’ threads have them in all games at all times. I think we should move to that approach.

I started the pictures lol
should be mandatory when getting blown out

dont mind talking ball during competitive games though

fix the clocks and quit prolonging this pain
Might as well end the game already
It's just frustrating.

The media is now going to be right back up on the Lakers’ piece as if our win never happened.

nothing wrong with flying under the radar
I feel like they never gave us enough credit for beating Heat+Lakers back to back

Even Barkley last night on TNT not giving us any love, said we are ‘2nd best team at staples’.

But yes, flying under the radar has its advantages

CP3 better come out with a vengeance next time we play them
Since they have a center from Turkey...

…I thought we’d do them one better

WTF CLIPPER TALLER THAN 6'9 HITS BOTH FREE THROWS
leslie with a nice play

how are we gonna take on mavericks playing like this

Where would the Clippers be without Chris Paul?

IN UTAH?!?!

NOOOOOOOOOOO

back in the lottery

and hoping the Wolves would start sucking

the clippers better not claim they are tired from tonights game, tomorrow
minutes

everyone under 30, dj at 19, billups at 24

At least we didn't lose by 30pts
All of us who suffered through this deserve a free JUMBACO
WE THREADDED THE WHOLE GAME
Look at it this way guys. . .

Last week we lost in similar fashion to Blazers and were dreading playing the Heat the next day. Maybe we start a new winning streak tomorrow. . .just saying. Club O!

we did not lose to the Blazers by 30
But we played horribly and deserved to lose, and we had CP and Mo in that game
we played horribly but we were still in it at the end

it was a close game. this one was never close

But if we had Mo and CP

Ill bet it would have been closer. Im just saying- a bad road loss doesnt mean we are gonna have a repeat performance at home the next day

i dont remember losing by 30

to the blazers…lol

and almost guaranteed no cp3 tomorrow

chalk up another L

the Jazz shot better 3pt%

than we did fg%

clips will lose tomorrow too without paul
did you see Paul limping on the sidelines?

no way he plays tomorrow

limping??

shit.

Yeah Mo might be back tomorrow

Almost certainly by Friday.

But CP3 has “no timetable for return”. I dont think he comes back for a week at least.

Mavs shmavs

Mavs didn’t exactly shoot the lights out against the Lakers Monday.

we dropped to 6th in the west

behind lakers, who move to 3rd due to divisional lead

The west is so tight

We could win the next two and be back in 2nd again. Probably be that way the whole season

I Wonder If Ralphs Right Hand Is Soldered To The Mic
its strange to ever see him without one
dallas sucks on the road...

so at least we got a shot

And we are a great home team
and we are rested

which we weren’t tonight

I assume you mean starters rested?

Yeah, i see a competitive game tomorrow. Mavs are unathletic, if they arent making 3s we could run them out of the building.

yes

even the reserves didn’t play 30 minutes. And I’m not worried about Fortson being fatigued. He is high on life right now, in the NBA.

Seriously, a win tomorrow will make us forget this game quick

Please make it happen Clips.

I really hope VDN's seat is getting warmer.

We shouldn’t be that dysfunctional without our point guard. Because of our hilariously bad half court offense we resorted to isos that ended in contested jumpshots. Coupled with the lackadasical defense, this game is eerily reminiscent of 08-09.

I don’t know how the hell Chauncey made it through his career at the point.

And Mike needs to stop sugarcoating it with “tired”, we sucked, flat out, in every which way.

27 - 8 On Fastbreak Points
Let's be honest

we lost this game because of Deron Williams, ironically. If he hadn’t come back and led the nets to tie the game against us we would have won easily with 8-10 less minutes for chauncey and blake

ya, but the team didn't even look like they cared
Precisely. The "tired" excuse is sugarcoating. They mailed it in.
they were giving wide open shots and didn't crash the boards once

that starts with VDN getting them a little more motivated, but i guess it is the NBA

really? we have had the lightest schedule by far. It's only going to get worse.

If our excuse is tired legs because we played a day game yesterday, then it is going to be a really really long 55 more games.

VDN has overplayed Blake.

he is tired. Team played like crap, and I’m not gonna deny that, but lots of jumpshots and slow in transition? signs of a tired team

They took a lot of jumpers last game too.

As tired as they are, its also a product of the lack of a competent half court and the questionable bad shot selection of our perimeter players.

yes. yesterday we got away with it against a much worse team.

we really need CP3 to be competitive with the elite teams. We need at least Mo or bledsoe to reamain competitive and have a legit guard rotation

I do feel bad for Courtney Fortson.

He’s not gonna stick around long despite being the only player to not lie down in the 4th quarter.

why do you think he was the only player not to lie down?

IDK why solomon didn’t go harder.

Probably because he's the only one with a job on the line.

all he can do is hustle and let his agent do his job

Utah Jazz were the Egg McMuffin of NBA teams tonight

Nah, we were the McRib.

We barely existed.

VDN better not give anyone jumbacos in the locker room
no unearned jumbacos

the baron davis era is over

blob city?
Great.

Now I can’t get Benoit Benjamin outta my head.

i thought you wanted to give one to Forston?
he can have one

after everyone else leaves. If the others see they will get jealous

VDN in interview

“guys don’t know schemes, my package is too small, we didn’t have enough focus, I don’t like our energy, etc.”

Give the man credit for owning up to his small package.

His Mini Del Negrito…if you will.

So VDN basically is saying, "I'm a crappy coach and don't know what the hell

I’m doing"?

trade Foye and Gomes

for Jacks son
JUMBACO

I think the game tomorrow will be close...
I normally hate +/- stats but I found something interesting today

Billups at a -4 in 24 minutes.

Foye at a -26 in 29 minutes.

Foye must have been worse than I thought. +/- isnt good except for really egregious stats like these.

Foye had alot of minutes with the scrubs

Billups was only in during the Blake/DJ stretches where they were trying to be competitive

Chris Paul for MVP
MOVIN LIKE BERNIE!

I love Gifs

we don’t use to many compared to other sites, especially NFL. Maybe Steve discourages them as I heard they slow threads down.

I would rather watch the rookies that played with effort than watch the starters

pretend to be playing. This was the most listless game I can remember. We played some horrible games last year but we at least tried.

I missed but guess I didn't miss much. 29 point deficit or my eyes deceiving me?
missed the game
you missed a terrible game

and quite possibly the most entertaining GameThread in history.

Oh yes, that was real fun lol

Go harder on the jumbaco tomorrow! I’ll do the same for the meo mio lol

great game :)
No excuse for a result like tonight's. We have a very talented
I hope VDN's seat is getting warm. Then again, it is wishful thinking.
