Nice block by Brand but Brunson double dribbles.
Clippers need a REALLY big spark now to try to win this game.

I am hangin' it up and loggin' off. Maybe if I go away, the Clippers will rally and win in my absence. It's woth a try.

Good night.

Oh Man, it got close at the end and I left the computer to get closer to the tv. Tough loss, the Clippers had a chance when Cardinal missed the FT and both Brunson and Maggette missed the tying 3. Maggette had a huge game with 37 points, Brand would have had more than 17 had he not gotten into foul trouble, that was key in the game. The Clippers lost the game in the 3rd quarter, they were scrambling to come back the rest of the way.

Yeah, it was close. But you really gotta give the guys credit. The had more than duoble the turn overs, and let memphis score 33 points in the third quater. To come that close to winning is something in itself.

Fun game to watch espically when the Clips when on a run at the end. A bit better performace from Brand and this game could have been won.

Clippers show up too late

Quote:

"Coach (Mike Dunleavy) wanted to know where we were. He wanted to know did we want to fight for a playoff spot," forward Elton Brand said. "The sense of urgency set in when we were down. If we had played that way the first three quarters, we would have won, easily."

Quote:

"You cannot win in this league without being mentally tough and having a high IQ for the game. I want to play at a championship level. You can't just be an athlete on the floor. You can't just run up and down the floor and look good. You've got to be mentally tough and physically tough if you really want to gain it. "

Loss Is the Latest Rage for Dunleavy

Quote:

"What disappoints me about the game we have tonight," he said afterward, opening a bitter critique of his team's second consecutive loss, "is that the urgency we play with once we get down [14] points, all of a sudden … we do everything right, our coverages are sharp, they're crisp, we don't make mistakes, we get out, we shut them down, and I'm wondering, 'Where is that prior?'

Quote:

Corey Maggette made 11 of 18 shots, 13 of 16 free throws and led the Clippers with 37 points, one shy of his career high, but his defensive lapses may have triggered Dunleavy's ire. Afterward, in an unusual move for him, Maggette exited the locker room through a rear door without talking to reporters. Bobby Simmons scored 19 points, Elton Brand 17

I saw the final score and highlights on ESPN. We almost came back and pulled this one out.

The Griz are a pretty deep team to win like this while they are missing key players. If they all get healthy, they could be tough in the playoffs.
