i know its asking for alot, but the Clippers need a T-mac type player, not even superstar just someone who can create their own ****ing **** or get to the hoop at wilL
i dont know if i should watch this game cuz it sucks going into a game when your team ALWAYS PLAYS FROM BEHIND, anD they never catch up
You drafted him, he's rotting on the bench not getting anything resembling consistent playing time.

Why didn't we play Al Thornton? I don't get it, Patterson|Knight|Mobley even Maggette were struggling from the field, and Dun benches our 2nd best slasher for the whole game? What the hell.
Kaman had a great first half, but he was trying to force it too much in the 2nd half, mainly in the fourth. When the entire team was clanking jumpers, Kaman stopped kicking the ball out and tried to force shots, which led to his horrendous field goal percentage on the night and had too many turnovers. He did a great job on Yao though along with A-Train, holding him to only 11 shot attempts and forcing 6 turnovers, not to mention boxing him out and allowing only 8 rebounds. Kaman got the best of Yao in this matchup hands down.
I'm so glad Maggette is back, he had 21 points in 29 minutes of action on 7-13 shooting and got to the line 8 times after missing some games. Without Maggette, we can't score, and tonight, with a limited Maggette, we still couldn't. This team needs to work on their jumpers. Knight seems like a shorter version of Livingston, clanking jumper after jumper.
Why didn't Aaron Williams get more then 3 minutes in the final 3 quarters? He and Chris made a nice tandem when they were in together in my opinion, and after playing the entire opening quarter, Williams plays 1/4 of those minutes the rest of the way? Dun, what the hell is up with that.
Bottom line, it was a tough loss, and if the Clippers would have been able to knock down some jumpers and get offensive rebounds, the results would have been different as the game was again, for the third time, closer then the score implicated.
I don't know exactly how to describe what happened in the fourth quarter last night. I'm not placing the blame solely on his shoulders, but sometimes Dunleavy's substitution patterns just baffle me. Thornton getting a DNP last night was absolutely ridiculous. Hopefully Sam won't miss too much time, because this team has no direction at all without him on the floor. Knight's shooting was horrid, and Dickau was only able to muster 5 points and 2 assists in 30 minutes of play.

Exactly, Dunleavy's rotations have always been an issue. Thornton not playing is a crime. We have nothing to lose, play the damn kid.
