Game Update:

So far, game is going as expected...clippers down by 13 in the third quarter.

Wilcox is playing out of his mind right now, pulling a bobby simmons. 19 points in only 18 mins of play.

Clippers bench is stinking it up. Shawn is the only one to score of the bench, and has played a solid 10 mins with 2 assists and 4 points.

Brunson hasnt scored yet, but in only 5 mins had 3 boards and 3 assists, no turnovers.

Dmiles has only played 9 mins but has scored 6 pt.

Clippers lost, but they actually hurt themselves more than anything.

Nights like this is when i wish we had kittles. Magette was 5 for 20, simmons 1 for 6 with 6 turnovers. If those guys shoot 50%, clippers win the game, end of story.

Wilcox was a beast. 27 points and 10 rebounds. Thats bad news for rebraca and n'diyaye, because neither of them were even called upon in this game, so we can imagine their playing time once kaman comes back. I wonder if wilcox can keep this play up, or if he just pulled a bobby simmons. If he can, the clipps should think about locking him up for the future, and then keep a three man rotation for the next few years in the front court.

Brand had 5 blocks.

Livingston had a solid game. 22 points, 4 assists. with a block and steal. Had 3 TO's though.

Ross had a nice debut with 4 points and 2 steals in 13 minutes.

Lets see if the clippers can beat GS tomorrow.

I think you mean Livingston played 22 minutes not score 22 points because he only scored 6 points.

I didnt like there effort and they couldnt play D worth crap. Maggette really needs to improve his decison making. He missed people in the post and was shooting bad shots.
