lets limit black grifin to one highlight dunk... i'd consider this game a fail if he gets no.1 on espn top plays

it's my last game to watch for some time, i'll be on a three week boxscore/recap diet - yoy couldn't believe that one does not have an internet at his place, do you? well, i don't. and quite enjoying that. hey, i get to sleep at nights.

here's clippers' take, and quite reasonable one. http://www.clipsnation.com/2011/1/9/192 ... me-preview


of course they miss the fact that we played tuff schedule with injury problems, so our point differential and lee's performance is not quite objective on their take.

but this will be a nice test, clippers playing better, beating some quality opponents, warriors playing better and beating NO on the road. after easy one against cleveland this one will have more answers as to whether new orleans was nothing much more than luck, thus, a fluke.

i think ellis will have his way, dorrel should as well, our frontcourt will have hard time defending against big one of clippers, but i hope lee can outsmart both griffin and jordan offensively, maybe udoh will help limiting griffin for stretches on defense. either way, i hope curry lights it up since i believe we'll need a better game from him to win this ('fukc mo')

quite excited me is about this game.

go Ws!

Reggie for Acie Law please.

As soon as I say that Law gets two consecutive steals.

I think Biedrins may be done, he has not had a good game in over a month.

He probably has no trade value, but he really doesn't belong on an NBA team at this point.

just wondering - does smart knows what he's doing with curry? and amudson, finish sometimes, who cares of you offensive rebounds if you burn them

On offense Beans seem to be avoiding the plays, which is strange.

As far as Curry he is getting burnt by Gordon, he is just much stronger than he is and giving him major issues.

we look like a mess. curry shouldn't guard gordon in the first place. kid's lost his confidence - airballing now.

such a mess. ugly. why udoh is not playing more? biedrins isn't much help. why wright got no shots in this quarter? smart, wtf?!

What a terrible, uninspired effort from this team today.

This is one of those road games that they almost seem to be alright with losing.

It seems as though most of the starters (Lee, Biedrins, Curry) are taking the game off and putting all the pressure on the reserves.

Udoh is putting up a good game so far, Radmanoivc had a horrific end to the half with 3 turnovers in the last couple of minutes.

The last 3 minutes of the half may have been too much for the Warriors to come back from.

Hopefully this team can do what they did in NO and actually come out with some fire in the 3rd quarter, unlike what they did in MIA and ORL.

They are getting killed in the post and need to change that ASAP, along with major adjustments all around.

Need more aggression, I knew Griffin was going to have a monster game but the warriors need to come at him with more strength more power instead getting punked by Griffin and DeAndrea.

Curry keeps having issues guarding Gordon, I want to see Curry in the game for his offensive game, but he either can't stay in front of Gordon or he gets over-powered by him.

YO, D. Lee SUCKS! If we truly could have had Kevin Love? UGH

clippers look great and warriors look like cleveland cavaliers the other night, or worse.

This game is just an example of what kind of team you can get if you actually draft well.

The Clippers have drafted well for the past few years and it is slowly paying dividends.

The Warriors have not drafted very well and that is also showing. Aside from Curry there is no draft pick in the last 5 years making any kind of a difference.

I guess the Warriors higher ups need to take notes and try to follow the Clippers lead a little bit.
