Slight correction:
He needs to make the jumpers on occasion to keep defenses honest.

Thanks for the kind words Robert! To be completely honest with you, I’m not sure who inside the organization reads Clipperblog. It’s definitely interesting to think about who might though.

As always D.J., your observations are well thought-out and astute. Do you know who in the Clipper organization reads your comments? If so, how regularly?

I don’t understand something. Why, if most teams shoot below 50 percent on any given night, do offensive players always just break up the court when someone puts up an outside shot instead of busting towards the rim to get the inevitable rebound? I can understand sending one or two guys back for insurance, but every time one of the Clipper puts up a 20 foot brick (Baron) you don’t see even one white uniform waiting to get the rebound for a second chance. This drives me crazy.

I won’t go so far as to praise the Clippers for eeking out another win that should have been easier. The best part was I got so caught up in the Patriots-Colts game that I completely forgot the Clips were playing and didn’t get a bet down. Sometimes it’s better to be lucky than smart. I’m sure there will be a juicy opportunity to lay a few shillings down in the coming weeks. BTW, Kobe has a strained groin muscle and he says he won’t miss any games. I’m not calling anyone soft, I’m just reporting the information. So, any idea if Blake or Eric ever plan to suit up again? It’s not like the entire season is slipping away or anything.

Great question Pez – I’ll be putting up a post soon to address that problem.

Honestly, just getting a win without Gordon is impressive.

What’s the answer for overcoming the terrible defensive rebounding rate? Looking up and down the roster, we have great rebounders at the 1, 4 and 5 and a rejuvinated rebounder at the 3… is it a personnel issue or an issue with their defensive system?
