Officially, Indy native Eric Gordon is listed as questionable for tonight’s game against the Pacers at Conseco Fieldhouse, according to Lisa Dillman of the Los Angeles Times. Nobody is chomping at the bit to get on the floor in Indianapolis more than Gordon, who was 2007′s Mr. Basketball in the state of Indiana. The team is being sensibly cautious with Gordon because a strained groin has great potential for re-aggrevation and the Clippers can ill-afford to have Eric in and out of the lineup or at limited capacity this season.

This was nothing more than a glorified rec league game. This isn’t said to insult the talented players who suit up for both the Clippers and Timberwolves, or the coaching staffs of either team. Surely there were many displays of athleticism shown on the court tonight that you will never see at your local gym. Still, like many a rec league team, the Clippers coasted throughout the game because they had already subconsciously decided they were far superior in talent, and as such were incapable of losing. Misguided confidence in tow, the Clippers sleep-walked through the first stages of the game, looking like a team that was struggling to find the motivation to do the little things against an inferior opponent. Sometimes, like in both New Orleans games, this mindset and lack of effort can create a hole too deep to crawl out of. Tonight, the Clippers got bailed out by a few superb individual performances, and the over-pressing play of an anxious and inexperienced Timberwolves team with the game on the line.

Here’s how it went down at Staples Center Friday night:
