For the first time in months, the Clippers have me standing and cheering.

What hustle,

Dare I say that Shaun Livingston took over the game. Is this a glimpse into the future. He needs to play with that confidence every game.

Finally a game where the Clips did not disappear in the fourth.

And what a huge accomplishment to win down the stretch without having to rely on Cassell.

Defense won this game. The defensive intensity down the stretch was reminiscent of last year.

On balance, Kaman is almost worthless.

Another win against a shorthanded opponent, so I won’t get too excited, but the Bulls we’re very determined. The Clips really fought them off.

Gotta love the energy in the last 3 minutes. Love how Liv worked with EB on the left flank late 4Q. Almost EB/Sam like...

Did you guys see Maggette looking good on D the last several minutes? Loving it...

Ouch, just heard EB mention that if they fare well on this road trip they would look good for the playoffs.... hate it when they talk about May... just play and hustle, let the scoreboard do the counting....

I stayed home today, how was the Maggs/Dunleavy chemistry today???

The crowd started chanting "Corey! Corey!" halfway through the first and third quarters, and MDSr. obediently pulled Maggs off the bench and put him in the game.

Not sure if that's a result of MDSr's strict substitution pattern (by dumb luck, he was gonna put in Corey anyhow at that point) or if he's finally giving in a bit.

Fun game to go to, I must say.

I'll back off my Kaman statements slightly. He did have four blocked shots, two on one possession.

How about Maggette with 15 points on 4 shots. Unreal. I think he is ok in his role, although I would like to see him at 30 minutes per night.

Tim Thomas was great tonight.

It seems the Bulls have their own Maggette situation with Ben Gordon. Why does the guy only play 30 minutes per game? He should be their man. Coach Skiles must not totally trust him out there, as he gives Duhon a lot of minutes.

Same with Nocioni, only 22 minutes. He was not in foul trouble. I would have played him more if I'm the Bulls, who only hit 2 three pointers.

They have a good group of young players over there.

By the way, Sweetney is listed at 270 lbs. I'd like a recount. That guy is at least 350. He had a strong 6 minutes of getting abused by Brand.

Great game tonight! Sam, again got in Chris' face within the first minute of the 2nd half (actually Livingston also got in Dunleavy's face once too). Although the Bulls are shorthanded, it is a good win for the Clips. The game was even better than the fight in the stands, and I saw it, it was a great fight!
Go Clippers!
Now, I fear the Boston game, because if they lose it is a new Boston record for consecutive losses, and this season the Clips helped to break Atlanta's consecutive loss streak. Oy! Glad Denver and Minessota lost.

Good Idea !!!
