Q's Quote:
With the Knicks coming off a back to back and their star player, Stephon Marbury, potentially missing this game, the Clippers will have an advantage. Not just Stephon who'll be out, but Quentin Richardson along with big Zach Randolph both might miss this game due to their own separate reasons. With this being a weeknight home game, I have a feeling the Clippers will be propelled to a victory with the crowd playing a huge 6th man role. Let's go Clippers!

Will be pretty bad if the clippers lose this one, against an organization in such turmoil.

**Weasel** · 11-13-2007, 10:06 PM

Clippers should win, especially if Marbury and Randolph don't play. Seems that Marbury has already said he won't be at the game and there is no word on Randolph but he did miss todays game against the Suns. Cassell should have a field day against the likes of Collins and Robinson. Kaman should continue his good work.

Mobley probably will sit out tonight but is expected back Friday against the Golden State Warriors.

But Mobley did not practice Tuesday and will not play "unless he wakes up (Wednesday) morning and he's 100 percent better," Dunleavy said.

yamaneko · 11-13-2007, 10:45 PM

unless crawford goes off, we might not need mobley.

kaman vs. curry will be a battle. I dont think curry will do AS well as big z did, and hold kaman's boards down. Curry doesnt play the perimeter like z did, most of his stuff is down low, and i expect kaman to be in double digits again for rebounds.

**Weasel** · 11-14-2007, 04:22 PM

Looks like Marbury will be with the team but I highly doubt he plays after what went down recently and what I read Zach will be there and will play.

yamaneko · 11-14-2007, 04:44 PM

zach playing is not good. We have no one that can stop him

bootstrenf · 11-14-2007, 04:56 PM

with mobley out, i worry about their guards...i hope someone will be able to stop crawford and robinson...

i have a bad feeling that the combo of randolph and curry will get kaman in foul trouble early...so to counter that, i say we need to feed kaman a lot early on to get their bigs in foul trouble first...

strategy should be to feed kaman, and have maggette drive the lane as much as possible...fouls will be key...and crashing the boards would be a good idea, but i wonder if kaman will be up to the task...the double headed monster of curry/randolph is formidable...

Good point. The Knicks bigs scare me tonight. Randolph, Curry, and Lee could kill us on the boards tonight

i forgot about lee...kid could also ball...damn, why are the knicks so ****ty???

crawford, robinson, balkman, lee, randolph, curry...should be a decent team...at least on paper...

yamaneko · 11-14-2007, 05:06 PM

lee should have a big game after having a stinker of a game yesterday

bootstrenf · 11-14-2007, 05:06 PM

and i hope ross doesn't start tonight...we need to space the floor so that their bigs can't mash the middle of the paint...and it would be helpful if thomas could hit some shots so that they are forced to cover him outside with randolph so kaman doesn't have to deal with both bigs in the paint all night...

yamaneko · 11-14-2007, 05:11 PM

i dont see how we dont start ross. Hes the next closest thing to a SG we have on the roster. And thats pretty sad since hes not a great shooter.

Maybe if we move maggette to SG, but then who do we start at SF? Well maybe if we move thomas to SF, but who do we start then at PF?

wow, we are in a bad situation without mobley! And some wonder why i couldnt understand not drafting a guard, or why we didnt keep diaz instead of signing knight, so that we had an emergency 2.
