Clips Nation

ah the dreaded 3rd qtr,,, lol

You know what isnt good though

The main story on Yahoo’s NBA page being about how pissed EG and Kaman are about being traded. EJ says that Olshey lied to them, and Kaman just sounded mad about not getting any warning.

I actually kind of feel for them, especially since I am pretty sure Olshey did say the roster was done after the Billups pickup- and then promptly made the CP3 deal.

That will die down soon

Billy crystal

Is talking it up with cp3 while Sterling is lurking in the background.

Clipperoo - January 4, 2012 via mobile reply

So my brother calls me and says

Brad, your Facebook account got hacked, some tool is posting crap that I would never say, screw Facebook, I only Tweet these days, nice job Clippers in the first half!

There's James Bond

ERRR Chauncey Billups, with the Sweet J!

Is CP3 Goldeneye or is that Caron?

I'm not sure

What got into CP3?

Whatever it is, I LIKE IT!

good gosh

it’s 80 degrees in Angeleno Land every day now and the Clips are pretty much shooting in the 80s

So much for CP3 not liking to throw a lob to Blake (it was a little high though)

hopefully that won't deter him to throw more lobs at blake

Actually

If you see the replay it was right in front of the rim. Seemed high from the side angle but I don’t think it was.

Blake, stop complaining!

You missed the dunk, accept it. You may have been nudged, but there was NO BIG FOUL!

+1

Clipperoo - January 4, 2012 via mobile reply

na Blake should of had that

damn reply fail

But yeah Blake needs to cool it.

bg has got to stop complaining!

ThaFoX - January 4, 2012 via Android app reply

why the rockets prefer Hill to Dalembert I don't get

because Dalembert is out of shape and doesnt know the playbook

and Dallys offensive game is so putrid its not much of an upgrade

but hill is useless

Hill knows the playbook and is in shape

Dalembert would just plod for about 10 minutes before tiring out. If you watched him against the Lakers the other night you would see why he isnt playing much

like i said with Dally out of shape in addition to his already atrocious arsenal in the low post it not much of a downgrade

blake needs to stop

He's getting pretty dang angry.

Griffin, that was SICK

Offensive interference!

I’ll take it though

My bad!

Seemed like it was falling out on the slow mo

Uh...Blake with OBVIOUS goal tending...

and 2 points! :)

no! it was going off the rim!

ThaFoX - January 4, 2012 via Android app reply

why is cook in the nba?

ThaFoX - January 4, 2012 via Android app reply

the ref got some revenge in throwing the ball at blake.

wow that was awesome...

but how was that not offensive interference ?

that slow replay doesn't help the call

The replay didn't look like an interference

shay - January 4, 2012 reply

Not a force out?

LOB CITY!!!

AGAIN TO BLAKE!!!

Those 2 were sick

Good job telling DeAndre to just get on D.

Great lob by CP3, and even better him telling DJ to get back.

Screw the ATL

this is the real Highlight Factory!

FINALLY!

CP3 TO BLAKE!

there we go!!

SLAAAAAAAAMMMMMMM DDDDDUUUUUUUNK

IT'S LOB CITY!!!!!!!!!

LOB CITY BABY!

Looking for the eternally great

Foye, Leslie, Gomes Thompkins, Jones Lineup

That lineup could probably blow a 23 point lead in 1 quarter

true story

yeaaahhhh

mdLuffyOP - January 4, 2012 reply

hopefully chris paul starts falling in love with that lob

If it's the right play

This is the CP3 from the Lakers series and from a couple years ago

The HOF CP3.

oh my goodness

wow. That’s a thing a beauty! Night and day from what where this team was earlier.

I love CP3's mom!!!

why isnt he dj playing lob city mix

KillaClip - January 4, 2012 via mobile reply

great tip in dunk by blake!

ThaFoX - January 4, 2012 via Android app reply

His parents are very young!

Clipperoo - January 4, 2012 via mobile reply

VDN Should ease in the 2nd unit.

I don’t like his put Mo in then put everyone else in. I can live with Gomes and Foye if they are playing on the starting 5.

Dalembert

lol

Gotta love DeAndre.

Told Griffin to back off and stopped confrontation.

lets see blake posterise him next play

haha Samuel what a punk

parsons can get up!

Anyone else hear someone yell out: CP3 AWW S***

Blake

he cut backdoor and was open

butler

Can schwap!

Charles Ha - January 4, 2012 via iPhone app reply

blakes pissed..i can tell haha

good time to bring in Mo and sit Chauncey

+1

He is leaving Billups in too long

The guy is 35, with tons of miles on him, and coming back from injury. We are up by 17 points.

+1

35 isnt that old! plus Chauncey sat a lot of pine in early career

he has a lot of mileage left,,,, now Kobe is another story

I like Chandler Parson.

I had hoped we drafted him this year.

he'll prove to be a gem

Team is strarting to jell

it’s scary to see how we look in March.

It's scary to see how gassed we will be with these rotations.

Our schedule has been extremely light lately, and VDN is playing our guys WAY too much.

lets hope he is just trying to build chemistry among the starters...

as bad as the bench has been, at least they mostly played together last year

I think they want as much time on the floor together

as they can get now the schedule is light

rockets going for their broad lineup

That was great defense by Mo......... I like it

wow DJ hitting his fts

Clutch DJ ;)

Blake got away with that one

lol

crafty

and it is scored as a block.

Oh Cookie

ugh,,,, Cookie back in

cooks face

Gomes makes a great play

only to have cookie screw up.

not cook again

KillaClip - January 4, 2012 via mobile reply

Cook shoots so hard

Smh

Gomes and Cook really worked together on that one!

Cook is so, so, so bad

Mo was wide open in the corner. And that defense of his is just pathetic

Bet you hate him even more now

Terrence Williams biggest ball stopper since Magette

but Maggette has better skills.

let me rephrase

biggest ball stopper since Al Thorton? haha

dammit cookie, just stop!

Freaking Cookie sucks!

Clipperoo - January 4, 2012 via mobile reply

Where the heck is Solomon?

Hasn’t VDN learned that Cook is pure garbage?

He has missed 2 shots and committed 2 fouls.

Quite the efficient one!

Hopefully he'll get some time in the 4th, if we can get the lead back up to 25

oh man that would have been an awesome 3 on the sweet save by Gomes

Yeah but he had to rush it

no prob with the miss

but gomes proving useful tonight

oh yeah looking much better this evening

This is exactly the kind of game I want from him

A couple baskets, a few rebounds, decent defense, and smart hustle moves.

yup but Mo is good at those shots

got unlucky there.

Yeah he can make those

Still a nice play by Gomes anyway.

Trey can make that some shot

AND score in the paint. Why isn’t he playing?

Cook also can make that shot

he can’t score in the paint

I know but he just hasn't looked good tonight (most nights for that matter)

Because Cook is a vet, and better.. Muhahahaha!

haha I know right

LOL

I would rather see Solomon Jones off of one day with the team than see Brian Cook right now

I am fine with Gomes, who does useful things somewhat frequently. But Cook just drives me bananas.

How often does he make those 3s?

He should stop but he won’t.

cook doing the griffin and pretending to do the follow jam

except cook can barely get rim

Odd

DJ has zero blocks

and he is playing great!

wow Gomes

ah Ryan Gomes,,,,, Dr Jekyl Mr Hyde

2nd team has absolutely no defense.

3 perimeter shooter WIDE open.

THOMPKINS! :)

CAT!!!

CUTINO!

I love Cutino, such a classy guy!

Foye, why can't you be like this all night?

Foye heating up

Yeee

Did Randy Foye just made a shot?

3 in a row

What happened to Rhino?

signed with Portland

Foye again!!!

leslie and Jones now

KillaClip - January 4, 2012 via mobile reply

almost if they can keep this up

Naw, let Foye make everything first.

When I see him miss 3 in a row, then change him!

God damn it Cook!

GET OUT OF THE GAME. PUT IN JONES!

so the secondary is building up the lead

that’s weird

You spelled Randy Foye wrong.

well they are getting stops

houston’s secondary is looking worse then ours…

Houston is flat.

They are missing everything.

Cook is so damn lazy

KillaClip - January 4, 2012 via mobile reply

Are u kidding me cookie?

Clipperoo - January 4, 2012 via mobile reply

just feed cookie to baron

Rofl

Oatmeal raisin cookie. Baron would probably turn up his nose.

OMG Cook you can't even make a lay up

i think from the bench, DJ yelled

“YOU RANDY MUTHA F’N FOYE”

lol

hahaha

almost time for leslie and jones

give it a few more minutes

Want to see Flight Leslie get some burn!

On the bright side

I’m sure Brian Cook is a super nice guy.

Bui Himself - January 4, 2012 reply

As frustrating as Foye and Mo can be sometimes

They are easily the best backup backcourt in the league.

that is a bit strong

but they both are streaky

If they are shooting like this!

Stephen Curry with an ankle injury AGAIN.

SMH

that's a shame

thta dude should just sit to make sure his ankle heals completely

Agreed.

I don’t want to see him make a mistake like B-Roy. I would rather he sit out the WHOLE season and then come in healthy.

agreed

worrying

hoping that is not chronic, but I do wonder if he needs extra surgery

SMH

There goes my fantasy team

reply fail :(

mine is already dead

I suk at fantasy bball

I rule!

not this year haha. top picks- DWill, Curry, and ZBo. Ouch.

ooh

Cook

Holy crap, you did 1 good thing!

wow.

cookie with the block

foye wants the dunk

Ralph says

The Law is the Law

Put in solomon and Leslie

Why not?

give it some time

so they can close out the game safely. I dont trust leslie with 8 minutes. Maybe 5 or 6 he will go in

I don’t thinks rockets scored yet…

Charles Ha - January 4, 2012 via iPhone app reply

til

That three

Charles Ha - January 4, 2012 via iPhone app reply

Time to unleash the human victory cigars!

what?

Cook is already there

LOL.. I know, but I want Leslie and Jones out there

haha someone posted this on ESPN live chat

love it

make this green

Ralph would be the best superhero of all time

from his facebook

“I am no prude”

He was nice

to friend me on Facebook even though I’m a Mavs fan, just the classy guy he is

lol Cookie baking out there!

I'm liking Thompkins

He puts his hands up to EVERY Shot. He also fights for any ball close to him. I would like to see more of this guy.

good to have a second rounder that fights like a second rounder

def trying to prove himself

gomes stop pop

… miss

Nice Cook 1 outta 5 ain't bad for your standards

Blowouts aren't that fun... even when you are winning

shay - January 4, 2012 reply

yes they are

We just are not use to them that's why.

Thabeet Sighting Yawn

Buddahfan - January 4, 2012 reply

thabust

Thompkins need more burn!

Cook give it up to Thompkins

you blow!

Cookie thinks he can dribble like Blake

worst play EVER but all i could do was laugh.

Cookie... really?

Another layup missed? You are just lucky Thompkins cleaned up your miss.

haha Cookie trying to be Iceman

cookie has a negative vertical

lol

he just sinks

lol

KillaClip - January 4, 2012 via mobile reply

Pretty much

Whenever he jumps, it seems that gravity becomes extremely strong pulling him down.

his block was nice though

Milph: what a timing by cook

me: wow Cook blocks a shot with jumping

This is unfortunately true

cook sucks so bad lol

KillaClip - January 4, 2012 via mobile reply

That was funny

Cook can’t finish for ish

Clipperoo - January 4, 2012 via mobile reply

Trey yeah!

Pawn - January 4, 2012 reply

FREE FLIGHT!

how is cook in the nba?

ThaFoX - January 4, 2012 via Android app reply

because we for some reason gave him a player option

I believe he has to pay the NBA.

His 2 year contract was for him to stay in the NBA. He is just in it for the spotlight.

hes useful because he makes 3's

oh, wait…

only a great once in awhile!

ThaFoX - January 4, 2012 via Android app reply

Love the hustle by the bench.. even in a blowout

SOLOMON GRUNDY IS IN!

Jones sighting, Leslie sighting!!!!!

jones sighting

rockin the D Miles jersey

Foye needed this game

not needed

but he helped

If it gets him going

then its a need.

Jones and Leslie!

JONES

and FLIGHT IS FREED

Foye with the rare PG minutes

Solomon looks like Durant.

His length and complexion remind me of Durant… Anyone else think so?

and jumper? sike

leslie went way up

At work. Just caught the score

F YEA gunna enjoy watching this on the DVR

Controversysells - January 4, 2012 via mobile reply

LOB CITY!

Georgia connection!

thompkins to leslie!

what is happpeeennningng

second rounder lobbing to second rounder

only on the clips haha

when bledsoe comes back...

how is he gonna even get any minutes??

hes gonna take 2 or 3 mpg from each of our guards

He is gonna get traded

I think at this point we need Mo much more than him if we are trying to be a contender. Foye cant play backup PG, and Bledsoe is too erratic to get too many minutes on a contending team.

agreed, he is trade bait for a wing

Or he will take about half of Foye's minutes

he will grab alot of minutes in blowouts.

CP3 doesnt need 39mpg.
foye doesnt need 18
chauncey doesnt need 33
29 is about right for Mo.

too erratic to play for a contending team

J.J Barea?
Mario Chalmers?
Shannon Brown?
Ron Artest?
Eddie House(when he was on Boston)?

Bledsoe under CP3's watch will be poetic chaos

I can’t wait

Eddie House was good back then, as was Ron Artest

Barea is not great, but he fit well in Dallas. Brown and Chalmers are good comparisons I guess, but Chalmers was not important for most of last year.

foye mins gets cut Mo slides to the two

KillaClip - January 4, 2012 via mobile reply

Let's get a 30 point win

Help out that dreaded point differential

this

Leslie has some jets!

almost another but the cheap foul

For some reason, Trey missing 3 in a row isnt nearly as annoying as cookie doing the same thing

His name isn't Cookie for 1.

he's better looking

lol

that aint hard to do

but we could use some ugly….enter reggie evans

damn that boy has hops

anyone know what they are screaming in the stands?

Leslie is rubbing his shoulder.

Hope he is o.k.

FOYE

Trey's outlet passes are sick

@LarryCoon

Larry Coon
So did Brian Cook get an assist on that missed layup that Trey Thompkins put back? You know Thompkins was 100% sure Cook would miss it…

HAHA

I bet Trey was already planning on his putback! haha

I think we can all agree.

Thompkins > Gomes and Jones > Cook

how about gomes is gomes

and trey > cook

this

I think Thompkins can become an efficient 3.

I don’t see why not. He has size, speed, a decent shot, and he is a solid passer.

Gomes played well this game.

I think he played fine

I think Trey played better and I think he can easily fit into the 3 spot.

Is Trey fast enough to keep up with 3s?

so much for that 2009 draft lottery hey rockets?

Are you seriously going to foul?

Just let him get the damn dunk!

leslie getting cheap fouled again...

i already like the defensive pressure with Jones

KillaClip - January 4, 2012 via mobile reply

I hate studying

I haven’t seen a minute of the game. Can’t wait for the replay.

with that lesliie free throw

brian cook is the lowest scoring clipper tonight besides the immortal solomon jones

+1

Oh, Cookie …

ESPN doesn't even have Jones on the box score

so that makes Cookie the worse.

Nice win guys

thanks for having me, out!

Much better defense in the 2nd half.

the rockets just cooled down

I think our 1st team had pretty stellar defense.

Our 2nd team had weak defense and their 2nd team had weaker offense. I think our 1st team played pretty solid D. Only reason it wasn’t a blowout during the first quarters was becasue Lowry shooting lights out

CP3= TRUE Leader.

His answer is always defense. I like that :)

Defense was better, but,,,,,, Houston coming from a back to back so,,,

a win is a win!

I could get used to this! :)

CP3=dreamy :)

Clipperoo - January 4, 2012 via mobile reply

Damn it feels good being on THIS side of a lopsided win.

+1

LOL

Good win

for everyone. We held the rockets to 89 points, 46% shooting. Good game for everyone besides Cook(1-6). Solomon didn’t do anything but he at least got his feet wet on the NBA court for the first time in months. Trey was the only player save cook and jones to shoot below 50%, but he was the #2 option down the stretch, and he will never get to that point in valuable minutes.

whats most impressive of this win?

30 assist! holy crap

7 turnovers

didnt notice that! but very impressive

plus 11 steals

Yeah that is crazy

We were just picking them apart.

Paul with 20 points 10 assists

Mo with 7 points 7 assists.

When you get that kind of production from your floor leaders, you will probably win.

Also, both Jones and Thompkins looked far better than Cook, especially Thompkins. He also might dig into Gomes spot at the 4 position, but Gomes will still get his minutes at the 3.
