D.J. Foster, ClipperBlog: Awesome! Look, this was an ugly game. Since neither team could buy a jumper, the best strategy was to smash into someone and pray for an offensive rebound or foul call.The Clippers’ floor spacing with Blake Griffin, Reggie Evans and Kenyon Martin all on the floor together was pretty laughable, but they out-possessed a Sixers team that doesn’t usually let that happen. This was a real WWI type battle, trench warfare and whatnot. Can’t blame Del Negro for resorting to desperate measures.
