Q's Prediction: Clippers Win 114-97

Q's Prediction Record: 1-0

Q's Quote:

Coming off a very nice season opening win against the Warriors, Clippers get ready for an afternoon game hosting Rookie sensation Kevin Durant and his Seattle Sonics who are 0-2 with losses at Denver and vs Phoenix. With them being 0-2, they will be hungry for their first win, so expect them to play all out. On the other hand, Kaman is coming off an amazing game, but he won't be able to grab 18 rebounds against a team which actually has some legit Centers[Sene, Petro, Swfit], but he still has to work hard in the post and get some points. Expect Maggette to get over 25 here, and Thomas get another couple of treys. Let's go Clippers!

Re: GT: Game 2 vs Sonics 11/03

Kaman/wilcox is kind of a mis match at both ends of the court. I look for both to possibly have big games statistically. Id like to see durant and thornton at the same time. I want cassell in more this game, he will be able to shoot over either watson or west easily in the post.


I wouldnt mind seeing patterson start again, despite the size disadvantage, i could see him doing ok on collison. Cassell on wilkins, kaman on wilcox, patterson on collision, ross on durant, maggette on wilkins.

Wilkins has been draining treys[5 in two games], and is averaging 16.5/8/3, so that's someone else we need to watch, although he gives up more points then he scores on the defensive end.

If Durant clanks his shots, we should win, but if he makes him, then we might be in trouble.

Stopping Wilkins is going to be key, I expect we'll be seeing Q Ross get some substantial PT today because of that. Wilcox is also a huge concern, if Kaman doesn't keep him off the boards he's going to make trouble. Chris is going to be the key to success once again today, Petro and Collison should not pose too much of a threat defensively. I'm expecting another high-scoring affair, but if they all do their jobs today the Clipps should come away with another win.

Re: GT: Game 2 vs Sonics 11/03

damn damn damn
i really like Rubens D
and his offensive rebounding
as long as he doesnt shoot hahah if he keeps this up we really need to extend him
and damn, we need to run Corey Maggette type offensive plays for Al Thornton cuz he just wants to shoot and if he keeps on doing it and missing coach is gonna bench him man

Oh yeah, Ruben's D has been great. I love the running attack too, let's keep it going.
