first! mofos!
DAMN YOU DAN!!!!!!!!!
even he got beat out.

I finally done it.

Chauncey, Foye, Mo need to start hitting some jump shots
Foye has been fine.

It’s Mo and Billups that need to step up their game.

Foye is 2-7

In what world is that fine?

Yea for 5 points

that’s not efficient at all. With 7 shots you should have 9-10 points.

Billups has 7 points on 5 shots
Mo has 8 points on 9 shots which is bad but still better than Foye.

Wow, did not realize that.

I only caught his 3 pointer and layup.

Chauncey needs pass a bit more
he had a chance to pass it to Mo

but chose to take an ill advised shot.

ClipperBEAST Is 1st again!!!!

I cant be stopped!!

NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
lol

not!

Lmao.... I will get my revenge
2nd half worries.

I’m quiet worried that the second half will be close, and seeing the shooting night of Billups/Mo/Paul, I expect it to be too close for comfort, possibly even a loss (which I pray isn’t going to happen). I’m not too worried about Kobe hitting down a bunch of shots, because that will just cause Pau to have less.

hows it going ya'll
we need to win the 3rd quarter decisively, then game over

then boom goes the dynamite

solomon should have been on pau. during that run...reggie was getting burnt.
gotta give Pau some credit - he's playing well today
I bet Caron had a some Moutain Dew before the game
Through a McDonald straw
wrapped in two tacos
Happy Australia Day to the Nation
Put One On The Barbie
There will be a BBQ and beers in my backyard tonight
The Nation is invited
I will bring some bring some Fosters!!

Fosters is putrid
I actually drink Bud
Inhaling Is Safer LOL
Yep But Its Kicks Ass If You Can Handle The Taste LOL
Fosters is like our Milwaukee's Best, nobody drinks it over there
Azarenka is about to beat Clisjters

that ain’t a knife

This is a knife!!
lol u took my joke! DOH!
Right back at ya buddy!
Might have a Bradley Gotch tonight with a sore eye and dead horse
Got a new footpath in the backyard during the week....pretty pumped

TMI

KEEP your secrets to yourself

I might have a scotch tonight with a meat pie and sauce
Thats not a knife!

this is a knife!

Clips need to put some distance between themselves and the Lakers

I don’t feel very good about this game being close in the 4th

Is Bledsoe in the D-league right now?
no he's behind the bench
I must have missed him
Why Did the Chicken Cross the Road?
to get a JUMBACO
NO, TO GET TO YOUR HOUSE!!

Knock Knock!

listening to the laker pbp guys

torture

why subject yourself to that?
catching the game with my dad, laker fan

the things i do for family

tell him you like mom better
just go to 980AM!
puts me to sleep...
Hey John Ireland isnt half bad...

He’s ALL bad!

Billups and free throws

love it.

I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT WHISTLE
Getting favours at present
aww another foul
3rd foul om DJ

Home cooking

bingo for Butler!
TUFF JUMBACO JUICE
Too bad Chris is colds

T tuff juice is hot

Time to make a run

I love that opposing guards can drive to the rim with DJ in the paint
DJ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Another hot start
DJ is making 3-5 footers effectively recently
DJ...2 non-dunks...YES!!
Chris finding guys!!!
DJ so good down low now that he's realized he doesn't need to dunk everything!!!!!!
Hope he develops a hook shot
That would be awesome

never know

is DJ Mike Dunleavy's best pick?
Volleyball!

CP3 bumped it
DJ spiked it in!

volleyball player

not a bump, a pass
not a spike, a hit

whatever

to me it looked like a bump and spike

lol

point is that there’s no such thing

DJ is on fire with his hook this year... could he have an offensive weapon beside a dunk?

or is it cause it’s against Fisher? Either way i love it!!!!!!!!!!

Ughhhh... Im stuck with the Lakers announcers
Turn the TV down and call your own game!
Probably more energy that way
nice hook
I love that Blake is not the center of everything

Pick your spots, big guy

he learned that from Bryant

butler has been so great for this team
oh, here comes Kobe
here comes kobe...does he wait for everyone to be tired to start playing?
Can't let the Lakers stay close

especially since CP is not playing

no techs please
Whoa!

How’s that not a foul on Metta?

what is peace doing?
Doggie Style!

lol

Ron Artest dont fall for that name change crap

FUCK THE REFS.
Why does MWP always gotta do some stuff to piss people off??

YOUR NAME IS FREAKING METTA WORLD PEACE….. CALM DOWN!

I always put quotes around “Metta World Peace”.

Every night he proves why they belong there.

how is this reviewable?
?

Maybe a thrown punch

reviewing techs

not out of bounds or foul

if anything its out of bounds on Artest
Is a non-call on a tech reviewable?
they didn't call any techs and they shouldn't
techs gonna go on DJ and Metta

MWP could be tossed

How is that not a foul he sat on him
dont like leaving it in the hands of yhe refs
good thing that the Lakers arent d-bags

except for Bynum and Barnes

and Kobe and Fisher
good call by the refs...

for once

No complaining from blake so far

I see the Clips started out on a 7-0 run.

Classic Mike Brown preparation. Brings back so many “fond” memories.

Artest is jawing off
Jasen Powell sighting!
Griff bleeds every game seems like
it's the ginger in him
NO Jasen Powell stay away from blake's knee
blakes check list

1. posterise ron artest

2. posterise matt barnes

Loose ball on CP3...bullshit
I want to see Vinny blow up one day and get ejected... I think it would be hilarious

this game is getting too chippy for my taste

offensive interference
statue of liberty shot
another WOW shot
We're gonna need Paul to show up

or for Griffin to take over

back. whats going on?
WTH was that?

wow.

(girls screaming)

I'm screaming...

lol. not really

I'm not a girl.
i love this pic!

CP cant dunk

and he tried so hard
LOL 360 layup!

Does Kobe turn the ball over more often than ever before. or what?

might be time for Chauncey to stop shooting
NOO DJ'S 4TH FOUL
Dang it DJ

He needs to be out there

It's cool...

we got Soloman!

this is a big problem
Bynum bout to go off
Blake is pissed

i like it

BEAST!!!!!!!!!!
that blake guy is pretty good
I love listening to the crowd when Blake does that
Fisher heating up
Good thing the Lakers dont flop
jones was pushed
Fisher Knows How To Win
Ha....Derek Flopper everybody
looked like a good screen to me
Were was the foul?!?
Toooooo many steps!

TECH!!!

kobe sucks so hard
get him outta here

Of course that was a travel

to be fair..kobe does that ALL the time
don't make it right
Plz keep crying Kobe
kobe is a whiner.
2 freakin techs missed now
Damn...0-2 on Techs tonight
UGH! Come on Billups!
how is 2/4 = 90%???
just got off work

what’s going on playas? 66-63? Let’s go CLIPS!

that was a weak tech against Kobe
he ran all the way down the court to the ref

deserved that one. They been calling more of those techs since last season. Surprise he hasn’t gotten more of them.

Mo Money Bingo
nice volleyball smash fish you idiot
Fisher for NBAPA president.....

Oops he already is

Kobe System on full dispaly here
of course,

according to David Friedman, it’s not Kobe’s fault. It’s never Kobe’s fault.

BG IS TAKING OVER

I want him to be able to do this

i'm buying jumbacos for everyone if BG makes his next 2 FTs
Can I have mine with a Sprite?
you can have it with a nice warm glass of shut the hell up

you’re in my world now grandma

Happy Gilmore right?
we'll hold you to it
DAMN!! NO JUMBACOS
Im suddenly craving a burger and a taco...
ohhh realllllllllly
we need these fts Blake!
wtf

Blake was open on the fast break, but nooo…

One great thing about BD

the guy just knew how to throw lobs

Agreed

On the other hand, we were tops in TOs

billups never looks for blake on the break.
OT but Toronto beat Utah and GSW is leading Poetland
Damn...chance to move up in the west with a win
what's up people

how is Paul?

he's got the moves like jagger
goddamn it feels good to be in here with fellow citizens

what up LJ? how you livin playa?

lazily

y’all know me

NO JUMBACOS FOR YOU
FOR THE LAST TIME

WHAT IS A JUMBACO? AND DON’T SAY IT’S SOME KIND OF BRAND OF SOMETHING. WHAT DOES IT HAVE TO DO WITH BASKETBALL?

first you take a jumbo jack
then you add two tacos
what do you get?
JUMBACO JUMBACO JUMBACO
JUMBACO JUMBACO JUMBACO
WHAT?!?!!

DOES?!?!?!
THIS?!?!?!!
HAVE?!?!!?!
TO?!?!!?!?
DO?!?!?!!
WITH?!?!?!?
BASKETBALL??!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

it has everything to do with everything

calm down son

about as much as the WNBA

about as much as your mom

see that's where your wrong

definitely not the last time you’ll hear jumbaco from me

it has nothing to do with basketball and everything to do with basketball
ugh free throws
Dude needs to hit FTs
is he shooting worse than DJ this year?
Blake I hate you can't make a damn FT
maybe instead of shooting free throws

theyll allow him to dunk from the free throw line

WOW 4 point turnaround on FTs
jones may not be the guy i
that ref needs some help on that call
I love when kobe "takes over" games

he’s all over this game like Santorum all over Iowa

I’m gonna get hate for that

nice move cheese!!
shake and fake i like that haha
nice flop Gasol

hi Brad!

what's up!

How’s this for a Super Bowl matchup, huh?

umm.. id like to see where reggie hit him
he jumped into reggaes hands

but acts like he was shoved.

Mo's at 13... any chance he gets 12pts in the 4th?
I think he scores 5 here

And 5 more in the 4th

Good foul Reggie...hit him harder next time
sweep the leg
atta boy reggie
Reggie With A Chop Block LOL
15-yard penalties>>>flagrant fouls

as an NFL/NBA addict, take my word for it!

No way thats a flagrant.... these Laker announcers are horrible!!
no more horrible

than their PA announcer, I swear he bakes ganja…

he’s the most blase of all announcers.

Sometimes that can be a good thing, sometimes not

yeah hes no david courtney
that's a pretty solid effort pau
Weak last shot by Mo
Cheese that was a bad shot man
what do you guys wanna see in the 4th
Some shots fall consistently

Some CP brilliance

cheerleaders
Shawshank Redemption
FTs made
CP appearance
Clipper W

Kome get his second T.
Where is Waldo?

anyone seen CP?

This is just an awful lineup

Caron or Billups needs to be in with Mo for him to have a good impact.

Foye is way too weak of a 2nd option, gomes is too weak as a 3rd option, and the other two guys arent threats at all.

nah mo and billups don't play well together
Better than Mo, Foye, Gomes
woah the thread moved fast mispost
These Journey 2 commercials make me wanna sign The Rock to the league min
nice of Kobe

to let us lead the game =)

his turnovers offset our sucky secondary

Kobe's tos have been hilarious this q

clips should be up by more, don’t rest the starters too long in the 4th

CP3

Should play the whole 4th quarter. He’s well rested.

He and Mo to start, then him and Chauncey
CP3 is gonna start shakin and fakin real soon
We need to double gasol
Bench is 8-24 for 20 points

that’s terrible. No FTAs either.

on cue

nice shot Evans

make the world a better place

punch Pau the llama in the face

REGGIE NICE MOVE!
REGGIE!!!!!!!!!!!!

pulling a DJ

HOLY CRAP DID REGGIE JUST DO A SPIN MOVE???
oh snaps!!! somone has been watching BG at practice
ummm did reggie just do that?
reggie with the spin move

scary

Blake rubbing off on him
Come on, Mo

that was lame

that was not a basketball play by MO

that's a flag piece for sure
if goudelock goes down then mo gets suspended
CMON FOYE YOU FREAKING SUCK!!

JUST GIVE IT TO MO!

Stupid foul by mo

Y give them that

Good call ref

Damn you Mo!

If that gets him ejected.

then that was a stupid play

flagrant fouls make the NBA go round

for better or worse

what an idiot move by mo
Yea dangerous play by Mo

gotta get a flagrant for that

Have Lakers lead the entire game?
idk

we won wire to wire last time

pretty sure they have led the entire way

Butler started off on fire.

get the starters in there now!
Can anyone remember the last time Gomes made a corner 3
starters now VDN!
OMG

VDN!!! PUT IN THE STARTERS!

shit....stop doing stupid things!!!!
Really Really Really

don’t like this lineup

No Rasta tonight?

HORRIBLE LINE UP!
McRoberts is such a puss
has been since his college days
Our bench is horrible

Mo and Evans are okay. The rest can be replaced by minimum guys for the same production.

not like your starting guards have given you much tonight

McBob you better watch who you messin with
Reggie looks like a crackhead and i love it

wasn’t he wearing a headband earlier

Reggie draws the foul
McBob ejected
here comes the T's
Nice socks McRoberts
can we please make 1 T
McRoberts=typical white Duke preppy

Christian Laettner 2.0

HIT THE ROAD!

MCROBERTS!

Cool

Now cool off, Reggie

please hit the FT

Evans doing his job

getting everyone mad at him. We’re getting our money’s worth.

I’d much rather see “Goldilocks” thrown out

i'd rather see a first edition golduck pokemon card
wtf waas gasol trying to do to blake??
Gasol complains about everything, what a D Bag
Blake is the D Bag

Don’t you listen to Lakers fan ???

I LOVE THIS GAME
Such a scrappy game!

i love it

They have to take advantage of these mistakes. Cmon clips
Lakers are getting frustrated...

Its time to close them out now

stay calm

Clips

I guess VDN is saving CP3
Mo with a sweet 16 :)
Goldilocks...come on
Why do scrubs always score on us
Its the Clipper way
it's luck

where’s morris now?

Reggie is hotboy right now
thats his job... to grab boards and pull on nutts
i see CP talking to vdn to come back in
put paul in already
Reggie Breathing Fire

explains his teef
Hopefully now VDN will get Reggie out of there.
Goudelock has been the difference in this game

We’d be up 10 if he wasnt having a career night

Paul and Mo lineup for a couple minutes

Then billups can come back. Put in DJ with CP3 though.

hate it when paul waits until the freakin end of the game to make his points

VDN has a really weird rotation

Even if Blake and Caron play the rest of the way they only play 33 minutes tonight. Same with Billups and Paul.

resting for tomorrow?
we got Memphis tomorrow night

and we’re holding the lead, barely

Our bench play

is keeping the Lakers in the game

this team won't be a contender as long as vdn is coaching
they are up 2 points

with DJ in foul trouble and Paul on limited minutes

that’s not too bad

interesting move by the hornets
EJ to the Clips?

Just kidding. Maybe.

Watch Indy clear capspace now. . .
what's that
No xtension for EJ in New Orleans

He’ll be unrestricted FA this summer

he will be restricted

I garuntee you

no...he's UFA
he's restricted
Eh

all they have to do is offer him the qualifying offer and he’s restricted.

Eric Grodon is at the end of his rookie contract

he did not sign an extension. They will offer his a qualifying offer of 4 ish mil makilng him RFA

CP time please? maybe at 6
wtf is going on with these offensive fouls
jesus christo swallow your whistles
they like to blow
ok, here come the starters
Here we go....starters
U really have mo on attest my goodness vdn
Mr. Big Shot Time
oh great, Mr. Adultery tied it :(
blake is the laziest defender on the switch...
Good defense by butler
I'd rather see Caron driving
I think Billups only trys to draw fouls lol
billups cant make shit
went for the foul and came up empty
it's his plan everytime he drives

not that that’s a bad thing

i blame that on Chauncey's not good shot
nice answer CP3
quiet that crowd
#24=the Antichrist

nice job CP3!

Mo for Billups?
not so good on D, but tempting
this
i like Mo's D so far but hes just so much smaller than Chauncey
im okay with that until we are in the bonus then bring billups back
It's a tempting rotation and we've seen it work very well before.
what is going on?
Well hello cp

NIce of you to join us

or as one might say

WELCOME TO THE PARTY PAL

lets finish them off here its Paul time
it's that like Tebow Time ??
nah i had this account a couple years before Tebow Time exploded
it's actually TinkyTime though baby

it’s wet willie time

I would make the Mo for Chauncey switch

As “experienced” and veteran as Chauncey is, we need a guy who can actually make open shots out there.

Matt Barnes has 9 minutes
GSW about to beat Poetland

LET’S GO CLIPPERS!!!!!!

Toughen up, Clips!
fucking laker announcers can suck it
Sickening

Dont turn the ball over now

refs will give this game to the lakers
how is that not a foul by MWP?
Metta is short for Fucking Idiot
what was the tech about?
well that's that
hold on guys

get it back

Chauncey is gonna answer in a big way

you can see it in his eyes

We are in the penalty already?

oh then that was a bad foul to take

this shouldnt be happening...

We’re better than them

can't beat the refs...
Not looking good this one

This is crazy

Blake should shoot FTs like Fisher
The refs are really killing the pace
hooray for refs
SIT THE FUCK DOWN
we needed that lob
Seriously...

Theres a huge discrepancy in fouls and both teams are playing so fucking physical, wheres the logic in that? The lakers arent getting called for anything at all

refs cant stop lob city
all the lakers announcers could say

“That’s a finish.”

of course he just did that shit
MWP doing that Kobe jaw thrust
Dear Refs GFYs
clutch after a terrible pos
Yikes

made something out of nothing there

anybody elses hands sweaty?
no but my tinky is
yes....well i was just holding a whiskey glass.

Honestly, the clips have nothing to lose….so just let it all hang out

REBOUND JESUS!!
second chance points are a killer
fucking rebounding, of course
looks like the Lakers want this game more than we do
only for the last 4 minutes
Ugh I hate this
That's why you don't save the ball under your own basket

I don’t get it. i learned that shit in like 3rd grade

I'm like "LET IT GO!"
you either let it go

or turn around and throw it at the closest lakers dick

which i also learned in the 3rd grade
but that's just because my YMCA coach was Sandusky

too soon?

it will never stop being too soon

there are boundaries.

Leakage getting the calls down the stretch
We're still gonna catch 'em
Gotta hand it to the Lakers

They just want it more

Its more like the refs want to give it to them
Can we have this game reviewed by the league officials?

It seems really obvious that the calls are only going one way. Its like clear evidence throughout this game on calls that even the announcers saw and admitted to but the refs wont call. Its just not fair in any sense of the word.

Entertaining Game
Billups owes us some clutch shooting

DeAndre Jordan is an idiot. Never save a ball under your own basket. That’s rule number one. Good God man.

The calls are bad and rebounding is worse but we just missed shots

Foye 2-9
CP3 2-6
Billups 1-8
Mo 6-16

everyone's cooled off

that’s the danger when we only do jump shots and dunks.

what else is left?
the Lakers are the worst 3 point shooting team in the league and they are 8-16

that can only mean one thing

awful closeouts

CLUB O!

LETS GO!

It ain't over until Lawlers Law comes into effect
AND HE MADE THE FT
and the FT!! AHHHH
DJ ft are going in lately
DJ making up for his mess up
i'm listening to this game on the radio..come on Clippers.

Chris Paul is pissing me off.

good timeout
my heart can't take this
my tinky can take it either
get your audio fixed Laker announcers
I used to think Chris Bosh was my most hated player in the NBA

Then I watched Metta World Peace play again

Derek fisher hands down

Even when I was more pro Laker I despised him

yeah but at least d fish is kind of smart

Artest is just a fucking moron

Give Peace A Chance

jesus christ BG for 3?

wtf are you doing out there

how the crap does THAT happen
what the fuck blake
Yuck

got greedy Blake

22 year old move.

oh wait, hes 22

LOL

at Mike Brown’s pointing

Wow I'm sure that was not the play blake
why is blake trying to shoot jumpers

guy doesn’t know how to play half court offense still

apparently you haven't been watching this game!

Blake has hit his shots all night!

One time, get a stop
and that's the play they choose to run???

come on, VDN

game over boys

goodnight

Chris Paul, go fuck yourself.

go root for another team

No. I root for who I love. Chris Paul is why we lost this game. What was the point of passing it to Jordan there? Nothing good could have come from that.

i agree, but no need to tell him to go eff himself.

he had a bad game coming back from 5 games off when he’s going to win us a lot more than this loss

Bad game is being nice.

he had like 11 assists

And had the aggression of a poodle.

11 assists and 0 turnovers

is pretty impressive. Clips lost because their bench got badly outplayed again. MWP and Goudelock outplayed Mo and Evans tonight.

say that again and the game will come into context
12
game over we lost...
how the hell does DJ get the ball there? oh CP3, now your teammate
dj is not the one who should shoot there

Mike Brown looks like a genius now

Can't win on the road...

hogwash

this is your home

umm

different shooting background, different jerseys, different court, different fans

that is no excuse

The Clips had 2 full days off, and have been playing at Staples for over a week.

clippers should have won this game

but it is an away game. rest doesn’t change that

Lakers had 2 days off no?

it isn’t a pretty loss but let’s not make it more then it is

someone's not watching the game

you play at Staples. I don’t care what it looks like.

you are wrong

Homecourt is defined by the fans.

shaq

he’s from cleveland. he doesn’t get it. move on

I’m from Washington State, thank you very much.

But way to single out all people from Cleveland as dumbasses.

doesn't matter where your from

point is you arent from here. if you arent from here, you dont get clippers-lakers.

well stop trolling

thank you very much

he's not trolling, he's cool, relax
okay

but she is still getting into people’s faces. I know it is a though loss but still…

lol, i get it, tough losses suck, and this is still a road game

cause the most important thing about home games is the crowd and it definitely wasn’t in our favor at the end.

i’m not trolling

i’m sticking up for myself. If LJ Hann gets to say I don’t know know what I’m talking about, I’m allowed to fight back.

well there's a reason it's

clippers @ lakers

and for the record

I wasn’t calling you stupid. I was just saying that someone who isnt from LA doesnt get the rivalry as well.

A s crazy as it sounds home court does matter

even for Clippers vs lakers. Don’t know the exact numbers but lakers are something like 5-4 away and 6-2 at home. Heard it from the radio before the game

Kobe's not the MVP you hacks
Paul has got to know DJ can't do anything with the ball that far out
Also, want DJ with the game on the line to get you a bucket?
Yeah probably the worst decision he could make
lakers are still a sinking ship. they won tonight. move on to the next game.
Still have a chance

make a 3. Foul

having chauncey in over Mo is just principle at this point....i dont like it
Laker fans are blowiing up on facebook... *sigh*
but i thought it wasnt a rivalry? its only a game?

poor laker fans. they seem so desperate nowadays. this is like winning a championship to them.

Seriously, I'm only dissapointed because this put us further away from the 2 seed
Its just one loss, but. . .

If we lose to Grizz tomorrow, not a good way to start a 4 game stretch against good teams.

Well, we had them for about 42 minutes.

Should have brought in the starters earlier in the 4th to extend the lead at that point.

yep. clamp down early
Ummm... 4 guard lineup?
Hmm

Starters 25-55 (45.5%) for 62 points
Bench 10-30 for (33.3%) for 25 points

this is an inexcusable loss

the Lakers held the lead for only 5 minutes…the last 5 minutes of the game. Vinny should turn in his coaching card.

Also, should Billups be benched and Mo start?

Billups can start but when he misses his first 5 shots he should sit
that'd be too small of a back court

Mo can’t guard shooting guards, he can’t even guard Goldilocks

No

Mo and CP3 can rarely play together. Just too small (See MWP on Mo)

Wow terrible play

wtf was that

too much time wasted there
terrible coaching
great play call VDN
Don't get it

FT disparity and everyone has like barely 30 minutes logged… and theres been so much controversy that the guys can rest… thinking more of tomorrow than today?

I don't get it...

If you see one of your rotations not working…don’t do it anymore!

Lakers just got bailed out by World Peace

that’s not soemthing that will happen too often

And a 2nd round pick who gave them 14 points.

miserable fourth.

miserable me.

genius!

what a playcall

VDN dipped deep into his bag of tricks
wasn't an easy situation

they needed a 3

espn is going to blow this up out of portion
I know you Losangelites make a big deal out of this game

but the Lakers needed this more then us

they played like it too
Clippers need a real coach
MVP chants are the most obnoxious (especially when your team is in 10th place)

LeBron is MVP this season

they’ll always chant MVP for Kobe no matter what

until the end of time. And he’s the one who got the lead for good for the Lakers.

gasol is the real mvp this game

this was his best game of the season.

So i guess Pau was right

The offense should go through him

we need a better coach...terrible rotations tonight
everytime we lose

someone blames the coach. I never hear anyone when we beat the raptors….

come on his hands were tied

DJ in foul trouble, Paul limited

DJ only had 4 fouls, he could've played more

It was MWP’s outrebounding and hustle that got the Lakers back in it with the lead with DJ on the bench. Either way the Clippers made stupid bonehead plays, shot poor, and had poor closing out defense on the 3’s.

"DJ only had 4 fouls, he could've played more..."

They were saving some fouls for the next game.

at the end of the day

we’ll still see the Clippers emerging as Los Angeles’ best team

How many points in the 4th? 16?
Good win for the Lakers

Too bad they have so many unlikable players.

it's been that way since Worthy left

I liked him, and Vlade was OK, but after Kobe came in, they’ve been nothing but douches

what play was that?

we needed a 3.

Blake should have stepped back

oh man

how depressing

The worse team won tonight.. so frustrating

some bad coaching, horrible officiating, missing open shots, bad rotations. The lakers just dont play good basketball and get bailed out of games like this, they arent built to last.

Stop fouling Kobe and allowing him to pad his stats!
A couple of observations

Is it just me or did it seem the refs were trying to help the Lakers win….couple obvious terrible calls…Ron artests clobber of Blake Griffin TWICE and no foul called….The questionable out of bounds call just because Mike Brown starts screaming and yelling at the sidelines.
Second….VDN is not the coach for us

barely 30 min for any of our players?

wtf

also

Cp3 still looks hurt

maybe not hurt but rusty
we have a game tomorrow.
and?

we should still be focusing on winning the damn game…how long did we have the pitiful lineup of solomon evans williams foye and gomes out there?

at least it wasn't Cookie
meh

other than Foye, I think the bench played well

so what? win today is not important?

when Pau plays 40+ minutes and Kobe plays near 40 minutes with his old legs, BG needs to play more than 32 minutes. stop babying these athletes damn it!

bleh

stop letting your heart think instead of your head

we’ll get there, it is just 1 game

my head tells me

VDN as our coach will be an impediment to our success.

we'll see

he isn’t going to disappear magically.

it’s suppose to be a laker home game, so the refs being as predictable as ever..lean the calls toward the home team. just call the game fair.

Well no blake did step out on that step back 3
the replay was pretty clear to me

he looked like he was still in bounds

i agree with the calls

they were calling way too many offensive fouls against the Clippers down the stretch in the 4th quarter. i didn’t even know what some of them were called for.

how about the two times MWP clobbered Griffin

no calls

should be a tech on pau there
still #3 in the west, and 1st in the division
dropped to 4th in the west actualy

why chris paul had to pick today to suck

and still the lakers barely won
goudelock, fisher, peace was making shots

as well.

Something I realize is that with their current roster, they cannot beat us in a 7 game series during the playoffs.

Mo wasn't shooting lights out either

and Billups can’t shoot period.

i didn’t really see the game. But I thought he was going to get limited minutes. You would think that he would be rusty or not 100%. Give Mo or Billups the bulk of the minutes at the PG.

He finished +6 in the loss
Clippers Road Record Falls to 1 - 4

not good

We'll figure it out

Paul will get it in gear tomorrow

Can't wait

Seeing the new unis and getting to watch the game on TV

why isnt chris paul shreddin it up???

First time coming back

after missing 5 games

first time coming back true… we shoulda seen a lil more offense at least though

12 assist i think

I think its understandable that his shots weren’t falling from missing games.

he’s choosing to pass too much when i know he can take over a game.. that posession when he was iso’d with bynum, you know he usually kills it, but he hesistated and shot a three..?

Alright...something positive about the game...

No Clippers got hurt

thanks for having me guys, good night
Just awful shooting from everyone but Butler and Griffin
24 fouls to 14

Even with the few at the end its obvious who was getting all the calls tonight. On top of that the lakers shoot 50% from 3? thats going to happen often… The lakers sure do need a LOT to go there way to pull out any wins

billups missin free throws too? whats goin on mustve been the lakers home…

He hasnt been great lately

Something like 19-25 in his last 4 games or something like that.

Blake, DJ and Reggie

disagree!

He isn't focusing.

He throws them up pretty quickly and they are off.

What's scary is that if we drop to second in the pacific we drop to like 10th place
this makes tomorrow a must win game
Well God knows that VDN gave the starters plenty of rest tonight

Hopefully the Clippers are ready

f--k gotta go on another winning streak
VDN had that huge win streak when he was coaching the Bulls... maybe a repeat of that?
Well we didn't get beat by Kobe

More like Goldilocks, Fisher and MVP (I’m calling the Gasol vs. Griffin match-up a wash).

Who has the recap? Just curious
Wonder if it is that "cursed" dude again

we have a tough schedule coming up… im kind of scared, memphis, okc, and denver

clips go 2-1
memphis we need to win

OKC Denver are by far the top 2 in the west

3 and 1 against the lakers this season
We overcame Lakers and Heat

We can overcome Nuggets, Grizzlies, and Thunder.

Problem is Denver and especially OKC will be tough on the road.

Hope Pauls feeling good tomorrow

Gonna need him to score more than 4 points

I put this one on Paul and Billups.

Yes, I know Paul is rusty and I know Billups had a bad game, but that’s not the point. The point is, we bring the two guards to finish games and they did nothing of the sort. Yes, Lakers defense was stellar, but that’s why you have Paul and Billups. We couldn’t find a good shot if they sold it in bulk in Costco. Paul was extremely passive and anything but a leader, and Billups was non existent. I thought Blake played a great game, Caron contributed his share, Mo did his job, and DeAndre did what I would expect when he has to take care of Bynum. Paul and Billups? Not so much.

Billups always chucking

seriously. He always shoots some crazy of balanced shot.

I wouldn't say that.

I would say 3 or 4 times, he had a nice play to get to the basket. At that point, he would stop short and have a wide open shot (Bynum/Pau were close but not really on him) and he missed it.

Of all the missed shots

Paul had about 2 bad shots
Billups maybe 3
Foye about 4
Mo about 4

Most of the shots were decent enough.

Griffin shot great

except on when he tried to step back for a 3. Did he think he was KLove?

I don't like that play

he didn’t step out, so it was a bad call also.

he missed the shot anyways. he probably makes it if he shot it then in fluid motion.
I think we saw a little bit of Blake's untapped potential tonight

That was encouraging to see him make all those jumpers.

I always though he would get it

now is the time to add that jump shot, not at the end of the season when things get important

amen to that, I enjoyed watching Blake tonight he looked awesome!

except those 2 missed free throws.

3 or 4 times too much.

He’s too old to be doing that.

Whats up with Pau getting in CP3's shit?
Pau is a puss. U go after the smallest guy on the court.

Chris invites u to come for him pau

just being a f--king douche

and being a sore winner. Rubbing Paul’s head like he’s a little kid. Like nice try little fella.

I know he didn't like that shit. I hope he kills him

In a month

DJ really needs to learn how to box out

giving up those offensive rebounds to the lakers killed us during the stretch

Lmfao at #WeRunLA trending. Pathetic Laker fans.

The final brutal tally of our perimeter shooters

Billups 1-8
CP3 2-8
Butler 6-11
Mo 6-16
Foye 2-9
Gomes 1-2

That adds up to 18-53

About 35%, and most of that is due to Butler.

poor ball movement tonight
We had the advantage at the guard and did not exploit it
Gomes was in this game?
That says it all.

That looks like a box score of one the Lakers’ previous games

I hope Pau says something to the media about the Clippers.

I like this whole Battle of LA. The Clippers came into this with their guns out, but then they put them away after 12 minutes.

Did Dain Blanton really say lack of experience?

Sure with Blake and DJ, but the others have tons of experience

Didn't look like it.

Billups and Paul looked like they have never led a team in there life. I know they didn’t have a great game, but I expect a bit more from them.

as a team we lack experience

nobody stepped up in the 4th.

The sad thing is that the Lakers only lost Brown and look like shit this season.

Uh... and the sixth man of the year.
u mean Odom and Phil Jackson?
I opened up a recap thread if anyone's still around.

I’ll be adding tons of witty insight and positive thinking.

I'm waiting what the FO is going to do

they need to make a few moves, perhaps not today or tomorrow, but definitely before the trade deadline. Evans is nice and all but we need another rotation big

we need a back-up big who is actually big
Frustrating not to get defensive rebounds

I still remember when Minnesota kept getting offensive boards. That game still upsets me more than this game mainly because we were leading the whole game until the last 2 minutes and it was in our home floor

Clippers starters barely played

so don’t worry about this.

next practice....

blake should take 500 free throws

Why did the starters play few minutes, do you think that's why we lost.

I understand trying to conserve some energy for tomorrow, but you want to win today and than worry about tomorrow later. Go for a more sure win today than something that might be harder tomorrow.

close your eyes kids

FUCK THE LAKERS.

I’m done.
