vs.

Marko Jaric/Quinton Ross/Bobby Simmons/Elton Brand/Chris Kaman

Maurice Williams/Michael Redd/Desmond Mason/Joe Smith/Dan Gadzuric

Notes: The Clippers have won 3 in a row and will be looking for #4. The Bucks though have been struggling but they did beat the Timberwolves the other night. This is a game that the Clippers should win.

Im going to say the clippers should easily win this. Pre-jaric they seemed to play down to the weaker teams, I dont see that happening this time now.

By the way with Jaric clips 5 out of 6. Not bad huh?

**yamaneko** · 02-03-2005, 10:23 PM

Dang, either im getting out of it, or the bucks are really scraping the bottom of the barrell. I dont think ive ever heard ofmaurice williams, and this guy averages like 9 points. Then again, i doubt many have ever heard of rick brunson.

**yamaneko** · 02-03-2005, 10:54 PM

Dang, this is the first game in a while thats not on TV. Oh well, it will be fun to hear lawler on the radio for a change.

I know it sucks.
Show us the game!

i wish i could see the clippers in HDTV. comcast cable doesnt have channel 5 in HDTV. I think you have to use a regular antenna for that..

Games that we should be interested in tonight:

houston and minnesota. I go for houston here because if minnesota loses, clippers i believe are tied with them in the playoff standings.

charlotte and portland: we go for charlotte of course, pushing portland further behind us in the standings.

Thats pretty much it tonight. Not many other games are really important to our playoff run.

Tomorrow, the clippers dont play, so ill post the games we should keep track of for tomorrow as well:

We want to pick goldenstate over denver, pushing the nuggets even further behind us, and pissing nbaonit off. lol

New orleans over utah would be nice, but not probable

Sactown over portland

charlotte over seattle. I vote against seattle for the rest of the season this year, not because of the playoff, but because if seattle can tank it, allen will want less to be there next year.

Come on Clips. You have to beat the weaker teams if you want to contend for the playoff race.

**yamaneko** · 02-04-2005, 07:46 PM

I think that there shouldnt be any more people who doubt that we need a go to player in crunch time. Tonight for the 14th time, it was evident again. Clippers up by 2, they foul the bucks. they make the free throws...clippers have the ball, control their own destiny...pass it around because they dont have a go to guy...miss the shot...instad of holding onto the ball, simmons, shoots it early in the clock, misses it. On the bucks, there is no confusion...they know who gets the ball...their go to guy redd...he makes the shot. Clippers one shot left. They pass it about 5 times in 16 seconds because no one knows what to do, and end up loosing the game.

I like the idea of going to Corey in crunch time. He likes to play under the pressure and is fast and mobile. They really need Corey back honestly, the others are playing good in his absense, but I think that it would help out to have the clippers leading scorer back.

It's weird with Maggette. He is a very valuable player for us an does a lot of the things that helps wins games, but we're 7-2 without him. I would still like to see him shoot less and drive more. He's an attacker. He needs to stop being so recless too. For a guy in that great of physical shape, he does get injured a lot. you'd think that he'd play every game like Karl Malone did because Maggs is built like a brick wall. Maggette should be playing 82 games every year. He gets injured because he's so reckless. He would close his eyes. run to the basket, get tripped up and fall on his shoulder or arm or fall on his foot the wrong way and he's on the IR.

Hopefully Maggette comes back wanting to show everyone that the Clippers are even bette when Maggette plays. Maggette is important to have because he's consistant. Simmons isn't gunna drop 20 and 30 everynight. Maggette will. Jaric is not gunna get his 10 assists every night. So it's always good to have Maggette because no matter what happens, Maggs is alway consistant.

**yamaneko** · 02-05-2005, 09:43 AM

I think magatte is one of our worst players in crunch time. he has the potential to become the best, but hes far from it. In the miami game he showed what he could become, but in every other close game, he fumbled away the ball, took stupid shots (that he missed), etc. etc.

Good Turns Bad for Clippers

Quote:

At the other end, the Clippers' last possession broke down as Rick Brunson's baseline jump shot fell off the rim and Dan Gadzuric hauled in the rebound at the buzzer, ending the Clippers' three-game winning streak.

Quote:

"We're not even supposed to come down to the last possession," said Jaric, who matched a career high with 12 assists. "We should have closed this game out much earlier."
