Q's Key's To The Game:
1) Control the tempo. Chris Paul is a great point guard, and he'll push the ball when he can, so Clippers need to control the tempo and not let the Hornets get any easy buckets.
2) Keeping Chandler in check. As good as Kaman has been playing, he needs to box-out Chandler and forget about adding a rebound to his stats. Rest of the team needs to step up and grab the rebounds as Chandler is a beast.
3) 3-Pointers. If we can get ourselves open looks and hit them, this will be a good game, but on the other hand, we need to keep Peja in check, along with the entire Hornets roster.
Q's Quote: With a loss, Clippers will fall back to .500, something most fans expected we would have already. With that being said, I think the Clippers will come out with some heart and really bring it tonight to show that this team will never give up. Let's go Clippers!

Well, it was a frustrating first half. Clippers trailing by seven and not looking very good on defense. Clipps have to tighten things up down low and not allow West and Ely to get so many easy baskets.

Stojakovic is heating up, this isn't looking very encouraging.

This does not look good ... the Hornets seem to be scoring at will and the Clips really need to cut the deficit before the 4th quarter or it could soon get out of reach.
This sucks, they're not even giving us any hope. Game over.

And as soon as I say that the Clipps come back with 8 straight points. Game over, game over, game over!!!

Lead down to six with 2 minutes left. I'm just praying for overtime now.
