its not even half time yet
clippers guards need to rebound like fortson
ClipperBEAST is 3rd

Revenge!!

Clips Be Blazing

Where the white women at?

What does "Where the white women at?" mean?
lol i think it means he wants to know where the white woman are?
it's stupid
it's a Blazing Saddles reference

hence he said Clips Be Blazing

anyone with good trade scenarios for bledsoe?
Bledsoe for Robin Lopez and Shannon Brown
thats a great trade
Let's get Steve Nash and Aaron Brooks somehow

But keep Bledsoe. And hang onto Fortson. If we can have 8 PGs we will definitely win this match against Minnesota tonight. Key to the game.

bledsoe for landry fields
hahaha wilbon

MAGIC.

That Blake Kia commercial

with the folding side mirrors is hilarious

So who else picked up Mo Williams for Fantasy tonight?
JB may hate the Clips, but at least he's not shy bashing the Lakers.
Is ESPN God awful?
sometimes haha
There's no pacing. It's like a GD Michael Bay movie.
Grades for Kobe Bryant commercial...
The one with aziz?

I liked it

Yeah.

Who is the Chinese superstar though.

A-

Mostly cause of Aziz

Oh and Kanye
+1
The Blake camping one makes me laugh, he's one funny dude.
B+

A+ if they put Alex Morgan in it instead of Hope Solo.

B-?

I don’t like Kobe but that doesn’t mean it’s a bad commercial. A+

This is the kinda stuff Kobe should've been doing for years
No way is it an A plus commercial.

That is way too high a grade and it makes me question your potential inner critic.

Hey folks

Not much burn for Billups in the first half……

Good for the 2nd half =D
foul trouble
plus Mo playing like GOAT
and Lil Weezy and Mo were doing good so no need to put him back in
What weaknesses do the Clippers have?

They seem young and stocked. I don’t know why people don’t consider them title contenders?

need a wing defender and backup big
What we don't have in depth we make up in...

lol, finally!
We have no wings

Besides Caron, who we got? Gomes is pretty bad.

rebounding, free throws, defense
How on earth are you guys bad at rebounding and defense?!

You’re stocked with super athletic big men.

our guards don't really rebound

and Blake and DJ as athletic as they are often forget to box out.

but we are getting better at it as of late
Hopefully you guys figure that out by the end of the season.

I’m pulling for you guys. Love your team.

oh, are you a wolves fan? thought you were here more often
Yeah.

I got banned from my home (CanisHoopus) so I travel from SB Nation blog to SB nation blog during the season.

lol, what'd you do to get banned? just curious
I can, admittedly, be a douche at times.

I probably deserved it.

welcome to Clipsnation where the only douches are Lakers fans.
False...

we had that one Nets douche.

haha welcome to the party pal!
lol.

You have all been very welcoming.

lol you got banned? that sux
thanks, y'all are gonna be good for years to come too

sorry you don’t have your draft pick next season to improve though

we have been rebounding a lot better actually since Evans is in the lineup
at one point, we were the worst rebounding team in the league
Ding Ding Ding

Analyst of the Month

DEFENSE.

A backup big would be nice… either that, or a surprise Griffinless trade for Dwight Howard.

plus, need to become better road team haha

she wants to be introduced to his wingman

HEY HEY MEO MIO MEO MIO, HEY HEY!!!

when my baby smiles at me I go to Rio

The few
The proud

Did Solomon move above Cook on the depth chart?

I hope so.

looks like it which is TOTALLY AMAZING!!!!!!
When I become a coach in the NBA I'm going to tell my players...

…for every long two you take. I send someone to kill a member of your family.

So, for example...

…if you take two long twos in a game. I kill two family members.

Thankfully, you're not an NBA coach.
This is probably true.

However, fans would love me. Players not so much.

stick with it

the Wolves are still within striking distance

We're doubling Darko... What kind of Bizarro NBA game am I watching?
time out Vinny
and put Mo in, our offense looks is dead
We're playing SLOPPY!
Do you guys see that Wes Johnson guy?
I kid you not...

…if he shoots over 25percent from the field and gets an assist or rebound its a MAJOR win for TWolves fans.

Wasn't he like a 3rd pick?
yep, 3rd or 4th
4th.

He’s basically treated like Adam Morrison/Sam Bowie/Kwame Brown in Minnesota

Gomes you suck!!!
how bout a time out?
Flat start to the third
right now, the T-Wolves are getting all the loose balls

show some heart Clips

here come the Timberwolves
Wow, can't we ever play a full basketball game...

without long stretches of this horseshit?

Chauncey to the rescue
Are the Clippers playing dodge ball?
time the eff out VDN
Rubio is bringing is Euroleague shot with him tonight.
Quit believing your press clippings Clips
Damn--why do we always do this?
Clippers Playing Down To The Level Of Their Opponent
no more ball movement
put in Mo and Weezy and we're good to go
blah... Ready for Mo and Reggie to come in
Fire Vinny Del Negro.

We could have a 60 point lead and I’d still wonder how our utter lack of defense or an offensive plan would result in blowing our lead.

Went to Jack in the box during the half and got myself a jumbaco

YES! JUMBACO!
Darko Has 16 vs High For The Year of 6
The clips need to take a Sheet--come on Cp3-hook it up
I'm a vegetarian, but if the clips win tonight... I'm going to down a JUMBACO
need to move the ball
nice shot chauncey
Wow, a big lead blown just like that.

12-5 run for the Wolves. Nice shot by Chauncey… but whatever Vinny says at halftime (or ever) isn’t working.

Long two

Gomes would not do that if I were coach

Clips getting calls?

Rose colored glasses?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
DAMN!!!!!!!!
that was scary

that looked bad

Blakee noooo!!
i liked DJ pushing Love out of the way

but that scared the fuck out of me.

That's why we need Mo in :)
Almost Lob City!
Blake should've made that, we've had 3 missed dunks now (although that was a foul so i'm tempted to not count it)
Lob City adjacent
NO ONE GO SEE COURAGEOUS
Don't tell me what to do!
I told you not to do it.

Do not dissapoint me.

Commercials lie.

It it horrendous.

Everyone should watch Moneyball though
never heard of it
Forget I said anything.

It does not exist in your universe.

fyretv looks good
Cookie sight... He's in the building
blakes missing a lot of lobs today
That would have been a sweet lob
totally got fouled!
Do refs try and even the calls up if they know they missed some calls?

Is this a common belief amonst fans?

He needs to get mad and play aggressive
RUBIO!!!

Get a shot!

that's rough

can’t hit jack

Can we maybe go for a half-court set?
I hate when Chauncey takes those
But you love it when he makes it
just like Foye and that 3, i didn't like it but he made it so i love it
I guess ur right lol
the only stupid shots are the ones you don't take
Mo and Billups are getting it done
just give the ball to Mo
What happened to this game?
On Reddit a lot of people seem to hate Blake and the Clippers
you're my boy Foye!
my god Billups wont stop shooting
Rubio pitching a shutout
WES JOHNSON!!!

Sorry if I’m being abnoxious

The Wolves are still too close
Mo Williams playing great defense
Billups run an offense
blake showing post moves
Billups for three!
Bingo for Billups!!
Bibbibbibblllups!@
Chauncey just became the 4th best 3pt shooter of all time

pass peja

Here comes Jones
This offense...

is Stan Van Gundy’s wet dream sometimes.

So the last two games.....

Chauncey misses several shots in a row, then all is forgiven when he hits a 3? Not a good trend

He hit a game winner..

He’s good for at least a month

ehhh Billups doesn't look so good limping
it never ends lol
he's shooting better than 50% right now so i'll take it
pass it billups
Damn you must be on a super delay
sorta lol
Idea number 1...

NBA installs specialized rubber courts that play similar to hardwood but are better on players knees.

Idea #2

Courts made of Flubber…so they can all jump like Slam Ball

You are out of order
THIS WHOLE BASKETBALL COURT IS OUT OF ORDER!!!!
I love Sylvester Stallone quotes
LOL

I hope to Jumbaco you are kidding

I like idea number 2

but they already have that it is called trampoline basketball

Nah basketball has to be on hardwood
what about asphalt?
that is only for pickup games

anything above that has to be hardwood

Wood is so last century.

Sports that adapt with technology will survive longer this century.

where in the heck are you going, Chauncey?
get back soon CP3
Billups looks tired.

He should retire. Before the start of the 4th quarter.

Mo Williams should hold out for more money. Before the 4th quarter.

sick block
Wow, this team is so good for some stretches...

and then really piss-poor for other stretches.

That would be the effect of no CP3
We're short too many guys

Hard to ride with Gomes

Are you entertained?

Mo with only 2 points that quarter
Jumbaco sighting
Ha ha

That didn’t take long

that's a good sign, it means this game is ours.
Idea number 2

NBA arenas install 6 high tech thermal cameras with advanced AI algorithms. They measure contact between bodies and make calls on the fly instead of refs?

is that natural to sweat so hard the jersey is see through

Billups needs a rest. Run Leslie and Mo

Need a big 4th from Mo--chauncey looks spent
There's Mo

Mr Cheese

Wow Mo... just stop it
CHEESE
Where did the cheese nickname come from?
I JUST MADE IT UP

ITS CATCHY THO LOL

Did anyone watch Open Court with all those old time NBA players?

They asked Shaq what changes he would make if he were the commisioner. He said something about a penelty box for fighters like in the NHL. He then couldn’t forumulate his idea and everyone realized he didn’t know a lick what he was talking about.

mo for president
Does anyone need a young PF?

We would be willing to trade Deandre Jordan for him.

Okay get out of here troll
NOOOOO!

I can feel them turning on me.

GOMES??! FO 3
We're winning on the long ball

How long can this last?

Until CP3 comes back (hopefully next game)?
solomon jones and 1!
nice play by Jones
Trey of Jones WAYYYYYY better than Cook
perhaps Jones can play a little?
alive. fell asleep. Nice work Jones
The wisdom of Solomon!
Good nickname
think jones earned a spot in the rotation
Cook is available but I think Vinny gave up on him
Good...

Cook sucks.

making the right decision for once
i love how olshey said brian cook couldnt miss a shot (before the season started)

funny how things turned out

not very impressed with rubio
Yeah he isn't having a good game
As bad as he's been playing...

…you still got to be impressed with his off ball defense right?

He's having a horrible night
wow sweet move by Foye
you're my boy Foye!
Foyegetaboutit
Foye playing well!
Adelman was like..

Damn, if Foye is making shots like that, I need to take a timeout…

1 SEC LEFT WARRIORS HAVE BALL DOWN BY 3
Gomes and Foye should play Minny more often
Or did we really trade him?
Re: 3s, Clips have 10 of 18
holy crap didn't realize we had made 10
we're shooting 3's better than 2's
Wow

Guess that helps

Foye putting work
Anyone else feel racial tension in the commercial that's playing right now?

NBA Fantasy commercial

How so?
I don't know..

I just don’t like the white dude in it.

Is it on ESPN?
Rubio 0-8
He is still pretty awesome
only because of the hair
ewww Rubio 0-8
they should just leave him wide open
Williams, Foye, Gomes,Evans, and Jones

I like it and Foye splits mins with Bledsoe

Ricky Davis > Ricky Rubio
Derrick Williams was a smart pick by the Wolves
Defense please!
pathetic transition defense
Where are my thermal AI algorithm cameras?
Wow...

DEFENSE.

We got this jumpball
It should be the two who had contract
Clips subbed out Jones
refs screwing us out of a game again
why not a time
WTF Vinny?

Call a TO, idiot.

LJ Hann in the house!
DJ is making Pekovic and Milic look like all-stars
Where's Reggie at??
Does Vinny know how to call a timeout?

I mean, seriously.

come on guys

keep it together

Put in Solomon Jones
Refs are a bunch of asses
Did Mo just get ejected?
Mo got T'd up

he is gone

These refs are idiots
FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
whoops, sorry, meant fudge
These refs are going to cost us the W
NOOOO!!!!!!!

CHEESE GOT EJECTED!!!!

Chris Paul is quickly becoming one of my favorite players.

…and he’s on the bench. Love his heart

why does the timeout has to come when they are all the way back in it

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ugh

was having a nice game but that was dumb.

Wow, just fucking great.

If we lose this game, I’m really going to be pissed. And Wolves fans actually think the refs are against THEM?

Ball don't lie
ball don't lie
This has been a horribly reffed game on both sides

First point of the night for Senator Marco Rubio

it's a 9-0 run, call a time out VDN
He just realized that
Good luck with that...

he’ll wait until they take the lead. Wouldn’t want to actually use a TO at the correct time, after all.

omg look for better shots
What the hell billips
So F'ing pissed right now

Piss off, chauncey.

finally VDN calls a time out
we got enuff left to pull it out?
This one is gonna really test us
That was a simpathy call ref

and I’ll gladly accept it

Freaking Mo MO!
Win this for Mo!

He put the team on his back the last two games.

Mo needed to lock it up

Just lost the best scorer and we’re trying to close out the game.

Kobe System might work

on a better team

this
O HAI Xfactor26

I feel like I saw you earlier today. On another blog of a team you happen to be a fan of.

Why yes, WaveOcean.
Kobe System > VDN System
Isiah Thomas System > VDN System
Byron Scott System < VDN System
I don't know about that

Kobe system is give Kobe ball shoot ball. Hence why they have gotten blown out by Orlando and the Wadeless Heat.

VDN system is put in brian cook, have brian cook shoot ball
Forget Kobe

Howard had more points than Gasol and Bynum combined. Best frontcourt in the NBA my ass.

I hate VDN's "offense"

Unless it’s a fastbreak lob it seems like Clips never get easy buckets.

It happened quite fast to me

did Mo get 2 right after each other or was it from earlier in the game?

One earlier in the game
he got one earlier in the game
one from earlier
what did Mo did to get ejected ??
argued a call. got pissed at said call
Our bigs stunk up the place tonight
Apparently DJ was playing air guitar during a TO

Tells you all you need to know.

Hurry back, CP3.
Chauncey and Foye have to step it up now
I have faith in Foye

He plays better when he gets good minutes

Hmm turnovers are the sore spot tonight

15 already. Missing that CP3 ball handling.

Foye and Gomes have been much more efficient. Too bad they can’t play the Wolves every game.

Great block by DJ

maybe keep it in play next time though.

Deandre Jordan

Check his legs. He’s got some kind of inspector gadget limbs.

Is prime ticket super delayed?
No it's actually ahead
I don't know about that I'm watchin it on ESPN

and I’m seeing everything way before the guys posting about Jumbaco commercials

I'm watching ESPN

I want to see the Clippers get coached dammit. Hubie Brown knows basketball.

absolutely

Hubie needs to share his vast knowledge!

lets go Clips!!!
And one for BG
That looked better

Thats how you use your body to get position

Adam Jensen of the NBA...

…D Jordan

not sure I get that reference
wait, wait that is a Deus ex reference isn't it
God these refs suck

If you miss enough calls can you not get paid

Wtf are the refs smoking
Senator Marco back to the line
Why would Los Angelos boo our Ricky?
Cause he's not playiing for the Clippers?
But he is out magical unicorn

I thought he was immune to this?

I think they are just booing him as a distraction at the line
NO WONDER YOU GOT BANNED
He got banned? From where?
From just about every blog.

For instance, he trolled the Pistons blog last night.

has he been trolling here?

I haven’t been on for alot of tonight’s thread, but I can take care of it if there is a problem.

Make sure you get more than one opinion
oh I know

and I wasn’t about to without looking into you first. But figured I’d get a complaint before I bothered researching.

He's a wolves fan that got banned from the T Wolves blog
... How and why
IDK ASK HIM
he admitted to being a douche some times.

he’s fine, people just getting their panties in a bundle.

I'm starting to realize that when things get competitive IN GAME my rope gets alot shorter.
lol, just don't say "our" cause your "our" is not our "our"

my head hurts

yeah

the “we” possessive can get confusing.

ok guys

let’s break it up. If there’s a problem, Steve, John, or I will take care of it tonight. Let’s enjoy the game. We always try to wecome fans of other teams.

...

The common folk are often intimidated by razor sharp wit. Unfortunately I had it on display at CanisHoopus. You ever see the XMen movies?

I think I've only heard of anything like that once or twice
who are you sir?
never easy
Billups with some terrible passes
same as the end of last game
Now Chauncey wants to pass?
im starting to think all billups can do is shoot 3s
yeah he can't pass very well
Rubio doing the other stuff
Chauncey??? it's not the last minute of the game yet, don't throw it away too early

and here we go in bonus

Old legs and bad court vison
Wow these refs trying to give Mini a chance to win this
Rubio is getting star treatment, seriously?
This is the Hawks game from last year all over again.
We gotta stay positive
gotta finish, find a way
Blake dong much better at the line tonight
thank god Blake is 7-9 on free throws tonight
that was the Mr. Big Shot
Bingo for Billups!!
Wow, we're living on the 3 tonight
Wo do you think you are?
Some kind of superstar?

You have got to
swing it shake it move it rake it

Come on DJ-earn your money
Rubio finally scores!
that's Billups for youuuu!
Nice rotation, DJ

Get your head in the game

like High School Musical
Ack. Don't say that!
Hey,

there’s a song in that movie called “Getcha head in the game”

Wtf why is Darko killing us?

He isn’t even that good

Sigh......................

We should have drafted Darko

Darko is playing out of his mind
This one is going to be tough

Missing Mo

Darko......seriously

He’s averaging 4.4PPG!!!!!

Not liking how close this is!!!!!
In all honesty, this Timberwolve team this year is much better
Le sigh...

another huge lead squandered by horrible defense, no discipline, and the age-old Clipper chestnut of a scrub having the game of his life against us.

Almost instant replay time!
that Gomes contested 3 was not a good shot. bad offense, bad.
Kobe System
That was more like Cook System
Nothing but bricks?
Rubio just got schooled
that's a veteran move!
Reminds me of Cassell
Much needed fts comin up
rubio acts like a little girl when he gets called for a foul
You hold your tongue peterghost.

We were cool all night and you have to go and type those letters in order.

that is a foul

hard to say you are standing still when you are moving forward

Haha good job Chauncey

Though I hate that kind of move

i wonder if Chauncy still is upset about the Clips claiming him off waivers?
has to be over it by now
I have a burning hatred for DJ right now
Wow that was pure luck

ooof

that’s tough if you’re a Wolves fan

come on score for the law
Get DJ out of there

Needs to be taught a lesson. Bring it all game, every game.

Smart I've by BG
Stupid foul we have .1 left lol
Crazy sequence

That’s entertainment

Blake's gotta hits some free throws
No doubt.

He had griffin across the neck.

well done blake!
YEAH!! MILICIC IS FOULED OUT!! GTFO!!!
I bet Darko wishes every guy he went against was DJ
Darko 22 points

Unbelievable

to think it could all go to waste

ehhh missed him both
Hubie jinxed us
Ricky Whobio?
Senator Marco Rubio
final minute
probably gonna last 30 minutes
wow...fts are gonna kill us
yeah those misses hurt

He was shooting them well earlier

Come on Vinny--do some damn coaching!!

concentrate, derelict
do not be distracted by the beautiful celebrities

I actually wonder if a basketball made of tire rubber would work
Wow, are you kidding me?

Haters already starting up with the choker shit, too. That’ll be their new line.

It isn't choking if he doesn't normally hit them

that would be like calling Shaq a choker if he missed FT’s

well rubio just choked right now
we could of had Lawler's Law ;(
Godamnit!

Clippers like to give me heart palpitations….

nice rebound by Blake
why must every game come down to the wire?
man Gomes is scuking
Darko's career high

is 25. We’re safe.

Didn't we just play this game yesterday?
of course he did
rubio moves around like a little girl
HEY

WHAT IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?

in that case little girl's move really well

his shot isn’t falling but he’s a stud

I just threw up in my mouth a little
Freaking Rubio
question, why the hell is Ryan Gomes the one shooting with 30 seconds left in the game?
Blake gave it up.

That’s why

he could pass it back to someone
my favorite player blake is looking more and more overraided by the game!

now we have to hear all this kevin love is the best power forward in the game shit!

probably true though!

I know I was like WTF
Lawler'a
Lawlers law

Just score one more basket, and we’re golden

That's why you fucking make at least 1 FT Blake!
billups for 3 encore?
Dribble out the clock..

Make the move around 5 seconds…

WTH HAPPENED?! I WENT TO BATHROOM
Senator Marco hit a 3
YOU'RE FUCKING KIDDING ME.

Well, that’s a loss right there. Already mentally preparing myself. Can’t believe I kept watching this garbage.

You beat the Heat

You can beat these guys.

club O, man

we still hve 20 seconds, and we’re tied! even if we run it out and miss, we get overtime

Blake down low please
shot clock off we can hold and wait for a foul
luckily shot clock is off

so we can just inbound it into Billups and let them foul him

He would make that one
So i'm thinking overtime
we defintley need to take the last shot
need a big play
rubio has armpit hair like a caveman
mo is missed now big time
Unfreaking believable
hold for the last shot
shot too soon, mr. big shot
OT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Minni advanced the ball

they shouldn’t get it advanced.

AAAAAAHHHHHHH
aw..................

That was a great shot to take. It just missed.

Why wasn't anyone in the paint ?!
clear out for iso
they are going to get about 1.5
I know you guys aren't happy

But what a game, huh?

We. Are. TERRIBLE.

Why is VDN still coaching this team? WHERE is the defense? WHERE is any semblance of a plan? VDN can’t even call timeouts properly!

I know Foye isn't the most popular Clipper

but he had been playing decent tonight. Has he even touched the ball in the 4Q? Blow me, VDN and Chauncey.

Lawlers law not in effect yet
I can't even fathom how we were up by 10 at the half.

This is the worst coached team in the league, other than maybe the Knicks.

No. You don't get to say that.

Not while Byron is coaching the Cavs.

Byron

probably is a better coach than VDN.

NNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
wow............
DJ... are you kidding me
of course

terrible fucking defense

Ugh

wow. Blown assignment

How the fuck was he so open?
I have no words
Fuck you, Vinny.
not vinny's fault that DJ didn't get out
Vinnys fault for not teaching good quality D

and leaving Foye in.

Oh

and how he sucks balls and drawing plays.

this one is not on DJ

He was screened out. The other guys needed to switch out.

Foye
How dumb can you be to let Foye play D..

kind of like when leaving Chalmers out there to play D.

sorry guys

that sucks, have a good night, thanks for having me

Well I'll be a monkey's uncle.
I'm sick.

Sick to my stomach.

Wow.

FUUUUUUUUUCK.

"look how late DJ is getting to the ball"

yeah

FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I HATE YOU VDN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FIRE VINNY DEL NEGRO IMMEDIATELY.
really 82 that's how I feels well!
auto correct.... that is how I feel!

we need a new coach a better coach a defensive coach!

I said this at the begining of the game:

“I hope DJ know’s that Love can hit 3s”

Again

Horrible defensive fundamentals

Another fuck up on defense
haha good game, good to lose so team remains hungry

I blame Mo.

we probably wouldn't even be close to winning if it wasn't for him really...

he blames his ejection.

What Ocean said...

We’d get the W had he shut up and stay in.

Chauncey shot it too early too

but our guards kept us in the game since our bigs couldn’t defend a lick.

of course it was DJ's man

we didn’t deserve that game. Darko had a season high. DJ’s defense as good as some people talk about it sucks. not just that play, but the whole game.

someone is suppose to rotate on the screen
Pissed at mo and DJ!

Inexcusable loss!

Blake missed 2 clutch FTs. He and Billups also have blame
Wouldn't have matter in the en'd
yes it would

If he hits at least 1, Billups goes to the line because they never tie.

how do u leave one of the best pf's in the league that wide open
It was nice watching the game with everyone.

Don’t get too down. You just lost to one of the leagues dark horses without CP3.

and Butler

but yeah, you guys have been playing well. Deserved to make that buzzer beater. Congrats.

DJ you’re on the shit list tonight

rotate damn Billups killed us
DJ shouldnt be on Love
this loss was a long time coming

the teams lax defense and carelessness at the end of the games finally came back to bite them in the ass

Blake needs to hit his fts

then we wouldnt be here

FREAKING THIS
he was 7-9 going into the last 2 that he missed which is a lot better than he averages.

we had 18 TO’s. 9 between DJ & Blake.

Who did Kevin Love just talk to in the blue coat?
DIE IN A FIRE
tempers are high but i wouldn't go that far
oh come on guys

he’s fine.

Well

I certainly can’t be mad at them for being upset. But you’re welcome to hang around as long as you keep it classy.

I got banned from CanisHoopus

I think I can handle a few “DIE IN A FIRE”s from passionate fans after a tight loss. It’s all good.

I'd be interested to hear that story someday

but I have a recap to write, heavyheartedly.

Gonna cook up a pizza, cry a little bit, play some 2k12

Im pissed at 5 people… Mo, Caron, DJ, VDN, and CP3!!

CP3? Really?
YES!!

Come back already!! We need you!!!

Let the finger pointing begin
Can someone please explain...

how they were allowed to advance the ball to half court? Didn’t Love advance it when he dribbled????

they say it was called before he dribbled

which if we count him as dribbling, then it looked like Blake held onto him a bit.

To add

for as many “big shots” as Billups takes he also gives all those points back on some pretty headscratching plays

So... I think Love won that matchup in the end
I really can't fucking believe it.

Stunned. STUNNED.

If VDN isn’t replaced by a real coach at some point, CP3 and Griffin are gone.

welp, I figured out what I'm doing tonight

bottoms up

i just canceled going out cause i'm too angered
Well, we'll have Paul back Sunday,

order with be restored, and we can forget about this lose….right

We Won't Need Him

Raptors without Bargnani are winless

We thought we didn't need CP3 for this game either...

well guess what, we did.

Raptors Suck - T-Wolves Are Pretty Good
Doesn't matter...

between getting our doors blown off by the Jazz and this pitiful chokejob, I’m expecting a similarly pathetic performance against the Raptors unless CP3 comes back.

is he for sure not playing Sunday?
i read that their coach hopes to have him back on sunday
Gomes or Foye are suppose to rotate on that screen
Gomes is not supposed to be the shooter with 30 seconds left on the clock

but he had an alright game for him. Our bigs got outplayed. If it wasn’t for our 3 guards shooting lights out from 3 point land this game wouldn’t have been this close for us.

No Js for anyone!! Stupid turnovers-- no defense!!
Bummer
haha I guess all you can say after a loss like that
This is worse than...

the Hawks game AND the Cavs game from last year.

No way

Wolves are for real, man. There isn’t that much shame in losing to them. They trounced the Mavs and almost beat the Heat.

I disagree

a team starting ridnour and milicic is for real? lol

more real than a team that had the second worst record in the league last year.

ridnour is not that bad
I still remember the days when he was a Sonic
Darko fucking Milicic had the game of his life.

Like are you serious right now? This game wouldn’t have even been close with CP3.

Yes, I am serious. I have no idea how the Cavs and Raptors beat this team, because these Wolves can play with good teams.

because they are this year last year clippers

They have talent, they are young, they are going to be beat some elite teams like us and lose to crap like Raptors.

we blew the game

Milicic, Anthony Tolliver, Luke Ridnour, I mean come on…are they somewhat talented sure but that does not make this loss any less worse? No because the Clippers lost this game plain and simple.

This lose is a bad one sure

However some people are making it look like we lost to the worst team in the league and that’s just not even close to true, this Minny team could be a sleeper for the 8th seed and we were missing Paul,Butler and got Mo ejected who was playing pretty well also the refs were helping minny.

the TWolves are a good team

but we should never have lost this game, especially when we are shooting 11-21 on 3’s.

Good team?

the majority of their wins are against the likes of the wizards hornets kings and pistons
Try again

Point differential

They have lost a lot of close games, they have a decent point diferential. Have defeat Dallas,San Antonio and come close on OKC, Miami and Memphis, they are not great but they are good.

It appeared to me that DJ didn't know he was suppose to switch there

that seems like a coaching gaffe

For a second there

it looked like VDN was falling asleep on the bench lol

VDN doesn't coach...

he yells platitudes. And you know what yelling platitudes does for you? THIS.

LOL at the morons that think “coaching doesn’t matter”. Well, guess what? IT DOES.

And I KNEW a loss was coming on that Rubio three. Just knew it.
If there is a positive........

The Minny pick sent to NOH just became a fraction less valuable

doesnt change this game unfortunately
Club O

We did pretty well considering we don’t have our best player, our 2nd highest scorer, and our GOAT of the last two games being ejected

no club O

the Clippers down the stretch were horrendous…careless with the ball
bad defensively just totally fell apart.

Billups with key turnovers late in the game these last 2 games

Got the winner the first, no cigar this time. His awareness has been terrible on those passes.

yeah Billups is not a good passer, barely average
That's becoming painfully obvious
we deserved to lose this game

lack of effort
Mo ejection
more Chanucey TOs
BG missing FTs
DJ poor defense
stupid coaching

disagree about lack of effort especially from the "bench mob"

I saw quite a few great defensive sequences.

besides Mo, there was almost no production from the bench in the 2nd half

by lack of effort, i was more eluding to the fact that we were settling for jumpers instead of taking it to the basket when Darko fouled out. that and defensive rotation was just horrible all day.

did you read what I said

disagree about “lack of effort”
they played some good defense
Most of it was chauncey “big shot billups” the couple times they fed the ball to griffin he got fouled or made a shot..

but I see your point
ok we can agree to diagree

i thought Clippers defense was horrible, giving up 101 points and 29 in the 4th quarter. and i thought BG didn’t get any more balls in the post after Darko fouled out.

All I said was the bench mob and certain points played some great D

Fortson
Foye
Gomes
a couple of them played some nice D but overall I think the team stunk on that end of the floor…

Turnovers killed you guys too.

strange saying that as a Wolves fan. Still, I would be thrilled to have that roster. I’m super high on the Clips.

Completely undeserved win for minnesota

They played bad defense and pretty poor offense all game. Clippers just missed their shots and FTs, along with a few defensive rotations. Minnesota had the refs hold them in the game for the last 7 or 8 minutes then got saved at the end. My least favorite thing in the NBA is to watch games like that, where the better team clearly gives up the game without forcing the opponent to win it. The clippers had open shot after open shot in the 4th and just missed…

Clippers shot 75% from the free throw line which is better than our season average.
DJ should pay back his check increase for that f up
don't wanna say it but we choked.

but CP3 is coming back and this moment will be forgotten in our sea of wins

Ehh... I'm over it now

Kevin Love is a monster… But no excuses, WHY THE FUCK WAS HE SO OPEN?!?!?

Foyes, Gomes, SOMEBODY SHOULD HAVE ROTATED OVER
No-don't get us used to winning and then do this ish----
Hubie was saying

You gotta switch everything.

Bad Coaching By VDN
DJ on Love, Foye being on the court

smh

CP3...

WHEN is he coming back?

If not Sunday then for sure Lakers Wednesday
Lakers game most likely
Soooo...

a week from the Lakers game, then? Because every time we hear he’s coming back, the date gets pushed farther and farther back.

Dumbass Refs

shouldnt of even had the ball at halfcourt

Outscored in the second half

29-19 in the fourth quarter.

wow, 31 points in the first quarter and 39 in the 2nd half.

That’s VDN versus Adelman for ya.

Going to bed being angry at my Clips
VDN Should Have Anticipated The Wall and Adjusted For It
VDN doesn't make adjustments.

He can’t even use timeouts.

This season is making me realize how important coaching actually is.

Adelman has the wolves giving up 17 few points per game this season.

Mannnn....

I wish we had Adelman.

I Would Be Really Pissed But I Bought A Kindle A Couple of Hours Ago

So it is a wash for tonight.

So are blake and love still friends?
OUCH

that KLove fella is kinda good
Me likey Rubio

Rubio Is Really Good
First game that makes me worry about him though...

His shot looks beyond bad the first 3 quarters.

he was airballing alot of good looks

bit he still had fingerprints all over the game.

El Nino is gonna be just fine

He Really Changes The Tempo Of The Game

love his game and style pure PG

He Is Not A Shooter

He can do it all except for that

When he is on it is a plus, but he doesn’t need to be to help his team win.

sorta like JKidd

Yep

A J. Kidd Clone

Kidd
  1. all time in three pointers made
number 3*
Kidd Is Old Enough To Be Rubio's Father - Really
Same Game At Same Age
That's only because Kidd has been in the league since it was played on a peach basket.

Didn’t Kidd get his 3 point shot late in his career?

Griffin may be the face

however Paul is the heart

We shot better FG%, 3P%, FT% and we even outrebounded them.

We lost because we had 18 TO’s. Blake had 5, while DJ and Chauncey had 4 each. That’s the game right there. Come back soon, CP3.

How often does that happen?!

That is some messed up stat line.

y'all got 10 extra shots.

We had 7 more TO’s and you had 3 more offensive rebounds.

Now that everyone has settled down...

Was the Mo second T really a bad call or was it legit?

bad call i thought but Mo definitely over-reacted

we needed Mo in the 4th quarter

looked like Rubio slipped, but i dunno.

Mo shouldn’t have complained with 1 tech on him already cause the refs were looking for it.

I thought he slipped too.

I thought the initial call was bad but Mo couldn’t control himself.

Bad call on the foul, good call on the T

C’mon, man…just because you create a new ID doesn’t mean I can’t see who you used to be. Your old name was banned by 5 SB blogs, including Canis, because you were trolling and now you’re starting this up again. You even went with the whole, “I’m a new bandwagon fan from Buffalo” thing when you joined the site last time. I remember it. Find a new place to try this nonsense.

That’s what I have staring me in the face over at the end of CanisHoopus threads.

ha ha
My pain...

…you gain pleasure from my pain?

I find it amusing

I don’t know if Steve has ever banned someone on here… I know that Raffo and I certainly haven’t.

I Like Dwight

A lot. Really really like Dwight.

Still have ESPN on...

Dubstep is everywhere.

Note about coaching

I think the key to having success as an NBA coach is to garner respect from your players. Many head coaches may have similar points of emphasis (I.E. defense and offense) but if the players dont respect you I dont think you can ever be succesful.
That being said…does Vinny Del Negro look like a coach that can lead a talented team to the promised land? I give him half the season before we start hearing reports of CP3 wanting him out of Clipperland
Thoughts?

it seems the players respect him from their quotes for whatever it is worth.
Good post. Tonight VDN reminded me a bit of Rambis from last year...

…which is not good. He just doesn’t have the look. Granted, one game is a pretty small sample size and I don’t think this years clips exactly need leadership with CP3 and Billups on the team but it’s something.

imho

hes a good talker but not much else at times he looks flat out overwhelmed out there.
I doubt with a record of 8-5 and it being such a young season the vets would speak poorly of their coach. However, if this losing continues, which it will if we dont get better defensively all that will change.

especially since after the raptors our schedule gets mad hard.
Darko goes 10-15 with 22 points and 2 blocked shots

clearly the best game of his life.

missed ANYTHING?
