This is going to be a hard game for the clippers to win. In order to stop redd, Q ross has to be on the floor, but in order to have offense, maggette needs to be on the floor, and they pretty much cant be on the floor at the same time.

Look for cassel to have a good shooting game, although if he continues to put up 12 assists a game, i wont mind if he shoots poorly. When is the last time we had a PG average nearly 10 assists a game?

Unfortunately im also predicting brand to have a sub-20 point game. I dont think he can keep up such play as he has, espeically against a good player in magloire. Id love to be wrong though.

Id like to see kaman get a lot of touches at the beginning of the game..when therse no pressure, and where hes not in a position to panic.

Id also like to see singleton get off of the bench, with mccarty at the END of the bench. Mccarty's defense was pretty good, but his shot was way off.

Not sure how bobby simmons will do. if q ross is put on redd, then cassel will have to try to guard tj ford, meaning that mobley would be guarding simmons, which would be ironic. However, since mobley didnt play on the clippers last year, he doesnt know simmons game that well, so might not know how best to defend him...maggette vs. simmons would be an interesting matchup though.
