First
What's on tap tonight lovinglosangeles?

Sol...a nice alternative to Corona...well played, sir
Thank you kindly... Corona is way overrated
My first... I want to thank my agent, family, friends... without them, this

would not have been possibel

jumproping halftime show lol
More exciting than the first-half show.
haha i noticed that too
JUMBACO

There, that’s out of the way now.

first you take a jumbo jack
then you take 2 tacos
whaddya get?
dunno

but I’m getting a middle of the night snack

I want to see a triple double from Blake

But I know hes going to be taken out early.

1 rebound 4 assists away

he could het it in the third

jumbacos are good

/analysis

Any possibility of reaching Lawler's Law by the end of the Q3?
Not if we take our starters out midway through the quarter
When was the last time the Clippers had a 24 point halftime lead?
every time
I remember it differently.
Yeah a lot of blown 20 point half time leads last season

the clips just need one short run and the wizards will give up

Hoping we won't have to do this after the game is over... Asking what the heck happened?

I want to see Mo get the double double if this thing turns to a blow out

And I want Gomes to get at least 10 points.

Well, if the Wizards are not careful, this game might turn to a blow out
Our resident MOnatic is in the building

MO money

Blake is on pace for

28, 18, 12 on 14-20 shooting with 4 steals and 2 blocks

And 0-10 from the stripe.
You mean BLAKE MAD DOG GRIFFEN! is on pace for...
Ding Ding Ding
I want to see Leslie connect on a lob.
Trey Has Played Only 11 Minutes Since Jan 17th
Actually 12+
those seconds add up
Hopefully He Will Be Doing Some Adding Tonight
I want to see Ralph Lawler set up a lob for Deandre.
I Want To See Ralph With A Headset. LOL
Celtics could offer Ralph a bigger contract.

They value his youth and athleticism compared to the rest of their team.

Is KMart in the building watching the game?
KMart Is Shopping At The $.99 Store
I though he was joining the team in orlando
Young and Crawford are going to shoot a lot.
that is their problem

very inefficient volume scorers

so what is our schedule of dates for this roadie? next game vs Orlando? On Monday? etc

orlando, cleveland, philly, charlotte, and dallas. wizards again at home after the road trip.

a bunch of gimmes

Cleveland is on Wed, Philly on Fri., Char is on Sat, Dallas on Mon
Here you go.

Orlando – 2/6
Cleveland – 2/8
Philly – 2/10
Charlotte – 2/11
Dallas – 2/13

Will Ralph Lawler end up with better stats than Luke Walton at the end of their careers?

I think so.

Luke Has A Voice Made For Broadcasting
Go Clips!
Pike in the house!
Finally catching a game

Wish it were a more exciting game, but I can’t complain when the clips are winning

what the F?

fastbreak crime to humanity

and again

bailed out by a phoney foul call

wow..the wizards are bad. they couldn't complete the fast break.
mcgee trying to create something..jordan with the block..effortlessly.
i thought blake lobbed it
sympathy whistle from the refs
Too early to start subbing some starters out?

Chris Paul barely showing up and yet Clip Show up by 30

getting sloppy

think it may be time to rearrange sock drawer

McGee gets the ball on the ft line

stand around with the ball for 10 seconds…

weird

it there a mercy rule in NBA??

no

we would know it

so you are trailing by 30

and then you decided to get 2 T’s?

Portland Bobcats all over again?

Let’s rest our starters the whole 4th; we need to cut down on TO’s

thread really slowing down now
not much to talk about

sloppy play as a result of a huge lead

Damn... The wiz are this bad?
yes...yes they are
They beat OKC

I don’t know how, but somehow they did

Well they are missing Blache

if that means anything.

every other thread is how they want to trade him or amnesty him so...
yeah, when Blache is considered an asset on your team

you really suck

Great communication from Wall and his big.
Wall ran into him so hard and dropped like a rock
lol Wall ran into his own teammate
john wall could use some better teammates
Even though we're up by 31, this game feels kind of sloppy
These guys might actually be the Washington Generals.
generals tend to keepp it close
Shouldn't the game be 70 -38?

i think they didn’t count Butler’s first T free throw

Thought he was supposed to get 2 FTs
thinking the same thing
Look at Sam on the Wiz bench...so sad
Look at Sam?

No thank you. Haha jk, love Cassell

Did Washington only score 4 points?
Was that lob really necesarry
I dunno...

but it sure was cathartic. We need a dominating win after how they laid down against the Nuggets.

pull the starters please vinny
I was thinking the same thing

But the combo of Cookie and Gomes could probably blow 30 point lead

Shot of Sam on the bench

Wonder what he was thinking, “I wonder if the clips can use another guard?”

Looked Pretty Bored
Ever since Perkins.

Griffin and Paul’s chemistry has been great.

John Wall is good but too bad he doesn't have the supporting cast
We are getting kind of sloppy.

Let’s make sure we can rest our starters the whole 4th quarter.

I think so too..

This just shows how bad the Wizards really are… if the Wizards are like that… i can’t imagine how Charlotte’s like lol

But again...

That’s what ppl have been saying about the Clippers for years

Refs trying to give Washington all the calls to stop this blow out.
I'm honestly not impressed by McGee
I'm honestly not impressed by McGee
K-Mart

How nice will it be to have a second scoring option off the bench besides Mo?

What happened to Lil Chucker?

He could at least hit some jump shots

Yeah...Foye is OK I guess
vinny was relaxing hard
Whats up with the organ music there in DC?

It’s like a crappy version of Dodger Stadium

no one tickles the ivories like Nancy Bea
You got that right
I wanna see McGee showboat in this game.
shoot the jumper DJ :-)
I'm bored

clippers are playing sloppy and still up 30

Well, if VDN clears the bench

We can see how fast the 2nd unit can blow a 30 point lead

Put in Brian Cook...

and the Wizards would take a 30 point lead.

Put in Gomes! Put in Gomes!

Gomes needs to get at least 10 points today.

You really want this game to be a blow out, huh? :-)
i want to see try thompkins play
Yeah the entire 4th to see what he's got
I think the 4th quarter..

The 4th quarter is a good time to give Gomes confidence and let Blake work on his jumpshot

Why is Blake still in
why are any starters in?
nobody on for the recap tonight

should I?

go for it...make the executive decision
but nobody wwants to read my writing...
Not true at all...you're doing good kid
The Wizards are bad

really really bad.

DJ with a man move
didn't jordan crawford say that he was better than micheal jordan..what a fool.
DJ's outplaying McGee today
Haha Foye looked so excited about the oop
For a moment it sounded like an LA home game lol
someone make a gif of foye rubbing himself after the lob

please haha

Oh god yes, it was hilarious
didnt we have more points we should be close to 40
lol DJ yelling at the ball to go in
freaking ridicolous...by DJ.
That was a GREAT shot of the Clipper's bench.
They look like someones crew at a dunk contest
That was a GREAT shot of the Clipper's bench.
say good night to the starters
Why are my comments double posting so often?
cuz they're awesome?
DJ is in beast mode tonight!
Could we get John Wall as a backup guard?
I think we have enough guards.
we really do

but Point Guards only… I would still welcome a star SG.. like next year. how bout getting EJ back o.O

Time for the bench

Mo Leslie Trey Evans Jones

trey isny a sf
I know but i was trying to avoid Gomes
Does it matter?
Holy crap this is fun!
This is the first game where we have truly seen Lob City
Lob District!
i think DJ's pissed about all the previews saying how McGee's better than he is

DJ’s destroying McGee today

dandre is showing me something......

he’s better than I ever thought he was going to be.

Grab the chains!!!!

DJ needs to be restrained!!!!

Anyone else wanna see Griffin get a triple double?
Not really

It’d mean the bench couldn’t hold on to a 30 point lead

would love it but I think we need to put the brakes on him tonight.
yeah but let him rest up for ORL on Monday
anybody know what the wizard blogs are saying about us tonight?
not much

too much doom and gloom on their own team

Vinny trying to stat pad DJ love it
if he was padding stats

then Blake would be getting his triple double

I think it was a gesture towards DJ
Trey's shot looks shaky
This Is some really ugly basketball
Sam Cassell's presence doesn't make it any prettier.
Lol Ralph

“I think Blake should jump over an elephant”

is Bledsoe active tonight?
Put in Jones, Cook, and Leslie.
...if you want to blow this lead.
give it 4 more minutes and than put them in. we have to conserve foye and gomes for orlando.
This game is annoyingly easy
gotta get used to being good. i know it's hard.
lol yea

but the thing is few things are not working for us and we’re still winning, like CP’s night, Blake’s FT struggles (and him not having the triple-double lol_

Ralph sounds bored too
Did Evans tip in the other dude's rebound?

Just wondering

4-2 should be doable on this trip

Orlando and Dallas should be the only real competition

Somebody needs to ask Blake if he does it on purpose..

the free throw thing.. I mean just dribble the holy ball, cause his current stroke is just not working. Don’t care about practice, in the game it doesn’t work, so change it.

Anyone else not impressed by McGee's dunks

Because they took so many attempts?

He's good

But like many of his teammates, his talent is probably being underused

DJ showed him up tonight.

I think he can be really good, but he has a long way to go.

that's what I felt last year watching it, not exciting enough or something.
I agree

I also don’t like how he didn’t slam them down really hard… kinda just tapped em in. DJ and Blake both try to rip the rim off every time.

like Trey as a rebounder
better than his shooting
too bad timkempton isn't here..just in case cook actually gets in the game
You mean Brian "Sniper" Cook?
he's going to unload as soon as he hits the floor.
you mean BRIAN THE SNIPER COOKIE CRUMBS!
McGee?

I know he has loads of talent but his work ethic and attitude is horrible… he pretty much gave up on playing since like the 2nd quarter… DJ doesn’t have the length and moves like McGee does but it seems like DJ’s working on his game a lot harder than he is

Mcgee looks so sad on the bench
Yeah, but if you put him in.

He will try to be a flashy dunker and such.

really starting to love jordan a lot he gets up so quick. has more for killer instinct in him.
what can you say about Cook?
Cook can not buy a 3 this year
Cook airballed a 10 ft shot!!!!!!!
Haha new drinking game?

Every time the Sniper misses? Or if you want to get drunker, every time someone on the bench misses.

LOL wheres timkempton?!
Doing a mix of Cook's greatest hits?
Cook you suck!!! LMAO
airball cook..trying to make up for the DNP's.
lol Ralph: "he'll make this one, no he won't, he'll make this one, no he won't"
It was so funny

I couldnt stop laughing

Love how the Clips are not giving up on contesting shots and crashing the boards
+20 on the boards.
So... I don't live in Los Angeles

And they shut down firstrowsports yesterday :’(

the .eu version is still working
LOL even Ralph is clowing Cook
Watching Cook miss all those shots was hilarious!

Of course, if this were a close game I’d be pissed.

Don't be mad at cook

he thought the Clips were gonna let DJ walk and start him at center

HAHAHAHA COOK
they need to send cook to the D-League to get his stroke back... just how like baseball players are off on their swings
just the worst player in the NBA

when KMart is ready…boot his ass out

charge..no way!!!
Is timkempton doing a mix of Cook's greatest hits?
Brian Cook is the worst player in the NBA, bar none.

Please just cut him already.

Anyone else think we would be better with 4 people on the court, Cook being taken out of course.
God cook is so bad
cook with the foul..they got an and1...this is pathetic.
effective PER for cook's sequence

2 airballs, 2 blocked shots and a charge in 1 min… gotta be close to negative infinity

Cook

is about to blow this lead

With Kenyon here Cook should be a DNP every game
Don't worry Cliplets.

Brian “The Sniper” Cook is just having an off night. I wish “Red Bull” had a triple double, but it’s fine. Go Clips!

thompkins with the travel
Cook trying to make history

remember the article?…

Nice Leslie picking it up
much needed run by leslie

good showcase and glad he’s coming in with a positive attitude

Cook called for a lob on that one

just dismal

Can Cook even jump?
See?

EVERY time Cook steps out onto the court, the other team goes on a big scoring run. The fact that he is still collecting an NBA paycheck is astounding.

leslie with 4 points.
leslie looking good

cook…..not so much

Leslie and 1

Leslie playing pretty well

Great assist Cook!

Oh wait, that was a shot? Oops.

Flight getting his.
OMG..cook. facepalm.

good think leslie was there.

That was a designed play

Cookie missing wide left on purpose and Leslie sneaks in for the offensive rebound and the foul

Cook needs to come out

pisses me off that he won’t swing the ball to the rookies and shoots even contested shots. I mean, he is a veteran. Why is he being such a selfish pig out there. Annoys the shit outta me.

No doubt he’s aware he hasn’t made a shot in forever and is desperate to make one.

The rookies should play a bit more...
Cook is zero for his last fifteen

he’s made as many shots as us in the last 5 games he’s played.

God, Cook is atrocious.

We’d be better off just pulling a random fan out of the stands to fill his spot every night.

Cook just stealing the Clipper's money
Wish Bled was healthy

He’d get some nice PT here

OMG I cant stop laughing
In all honesty, last year, Cook wasn't this horrible

Sigh, Im feeling bad for cook. Its so in his head, griffin was trying to talk to him. He is not having any fun on the court. It’s embarrassing

i'm sorry

but I believe that I am a better shooter than Cook has been this year.

Did Travis dunk??

I wasn’t watching the game

SNIPER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lol

COOOOOOOOOOOOOKIE CRISP
finally cook scores
If Timkempton was there.

He would be like, I TOLD YOU SO! hahaha

Dammit this draft made me miss the 2nd half:(

Any spectacular plays I missed??

Brian Cook made a shot.
Griffin McGee'd McGee.

Kidding of course.

Yeah! The fat lady has sung

APOCALYPSE!!!!!!
And then Cook gets dunked on...
COOKIE CRUMBS
...then he gets dunked on...
Cook!

Maybe his PER will increase from -2

No Michael

there will not be a time we need Cook. Because he will be at home in about 5 days.

lol Mike is outa his mind
Mike Smith just said the wrongest thing ever about Cook
this game is over

my only goal is to end it by more than 30… am I greedy?

scores then dunked on lmao

Foye shoots too much. Should tell him to develop thompkins and leslie

vecesly was a lottery pick..he's been struggling in his rookie year.
okay now we need Gomes to make some shots
gomes and foye should not be in the game so late. come on vinny.
Interesting note

Mike says they are going to debut the new road blues.

Huh? What blue road uni?
I guess it is their new alternate uni

the ABA throwback doesn’t count as the alt.

new blue road unis
You know, the road alternates that look really good

We had to wait a year for them cause we updated our unis last year.

I was expecting they'd come back eventually...

but wouldn’t you think the team would have revealed them before the season?

It seems like everyone prefers the blues to the reds
I like the red jerseys better, actually...

but to each his own.

Not saying I dont like the reds

but it just seems like so many teams have red unis. the blues stand out more to me.

oh man... Cookie really wanted that pass he had a look
Ahhhh Foye to Cook

Like Montana to Rice, but exactly the opposite

Cook didn't even try to catch it
Wow, Mike Smith just said we will finally see the blue road uni on this trip

As well as the LA Stars throwback again

a pass to Cook that goes out of bounds is the right pass

Blakes like damn, he could have moved over to catch that

Mike can't even count lol
Jordan showed up to destroy McGee.

He succeeded.

was john wall doing the dougie on the wizards bench?
54% fg, 48% 3pt, 35% ft

that;s the clippers

35% FT?! Really?!
6-17

you know what it is.

Everything I do, I do it big

Definitely a rare night

C.Paul missed 2
R.Foye missed one
Might have forgotten some other ones that are normally makes.

Did they ever credit Caron Butler with his first T free throw when they blew the whistle during the middle of it?
Yea, think so,

It was just 2 T’s anyhow

Great interview from DJ
damn... i missed it... what did he say?
Yeah DJ seems like a solid dude
he should do the dunk contest Blake wont go
Gomes had 4 turnovers
BLAKE MAD DOG GRIFFEN and THE SNIPER brought the win tonight!!!!
Game would of been perfect if Gomes looked to get some flow on his shot

scoring 2pts in 20 mins is sad when he hasn’t even been a defensive stopper either so its like WTF. Trey may steal his mins at SF

Our backup bigs (reggie, solomon, trey, cookie)

combined for: 7 points, 10 boards, 0 assists, 1 steal, 1 block, 4turnovers, 4 fouls, 3-10 fg, 0-3 3pters, -2 in 25 minutes

take that as you will

It's definitely nice to finally see a gimmie-game

A night off on what is otherwise a long road trip.

do we need any victory gifs?

or just mellow out for the rest of the night

I think we are done here

gif away if it pleases you

Its only 6:30...feels strange to be done with a game so early
I'm having withdrawals because the next game won't be Tuesday... we're spoiled with the shortened 66 game season
Nope- Monday at ORL
I turned to the Knicks game and Jeremy Lin is destroying Deron Williams. What a day.
Jeremy Lin's a good player with a super high IQ... just need his chance... hopefully this will give him more playing time
Anybody catch the scumbag move by Kevin Love on Luis Scola.

I’ve lost respect for him this season. First the Jesus Christ moment after the wolves beat us and now stomping on Luis Scola’s face when he was on the ground.

Yeah I saw it

it was definitely intentional, he will most definitely get a suspension.

This really destroyed some of the respect I had for him.

Everyone says Blake complains a lot for not getting fouled; at least he doesn’t take it out on other players.
