Q's Quote:
"After a total  whupping off the Orlando Magic, Clippers host the Magic's divisional rival in the Miami Heat, who are also the defending champions. Without the availability of Shaquille O'Neal, the Heat will start backup Center Alonzo Mourning, which gives the Clippers an advantage, as they won't need to throw in third string big due to foul trouble on Kaman and Williams due to Shaq. Ross should start to guard Wade, then Thomas, Maggette, Cassell come off and provide a ton of offensive spark. Thomas is coming off a hot game, maybe, no for sure his best game in a Los Angeles Clippers uniform, hopefully it continues against the Heat."
Q's Prediciton: Clippers Win 99-97
Q's Prediction Record: 11-5

Re: GT: Game 17 vs Heat 12/5
It is a major plus that Shaq is out as he tends to dominate Kaman. The Clippers should take this one at home. Nothing easy especially with Wade on the other team but the Heat have been slumping lately. Another big win would be a huge confidence booster.

Re: GT: Game 17 vs Heat 12/5
I got slightly confused with the Clippers@Heat, and then seeing the location at Staples.
Haslem and Mourning are playing fairly well. Clips have not dominated in the paint all season, but besides those two, Heat don't have inside presence. I'd look to work the ball inside, either in the post with EB, Kaman, or dribble drive hand offs/dishes, (I don't think we'll see any weak side cuts will we?)..
Of course there's Wade....
I'm really looking forward to Cassell VS Payton. It's like the trash talking championships, though Payton has been fading the last few years.

Re: GT: Game 17 vs Heat 12/5
Got feeling says Clippers take this one by 15 points or more.
No proof, just a gut feeling. Heat just look pathetic out there. And with the blow out win on the Magic, I think Clippers will be motivated and looking to get a streak going.

Re: GT: Game 17 vs Heat 12/5
clippers have had decent success against the heat the past couple of years, miami is hurt and struggling and on the road a long way from home, i think we will give them a beating tonight, i hope my by livi has a breakout game against the likes of gp and jwill. i'd also like for kaman see his shots go in the hoop tonight and keep building up his confidence, he's just missing too many chip shots this season but he seems to be getting better since coming back from the injury. lets go clips!

Re: GT: Game 17 vs Heat 12/5
33-25 Miami 8:29 in the second
Clippers not shooting very well.
Some really terrible calls. Ridiculous.

Re: GT: Game 17 vs Heat 12/5
At least the Clippers are up at halftime. It could have been a lot worse.

Re: GT: Game 17 vs Heat 12/5

all the Clippers really have to worry about D-Wade if they can contain him it should be an easy win...
