Injuries look as though they are going to play a part again here, but you still need to go out and have a red hot go.

AL THORTON!!! That dude is having a crazy game!!!

Hey Dunleavy, maybe now can you think about starting Al Thorton?

How about trading Corey?

Guys, just interviewed Al Thornton post-game for Hoopsworld with my man Travis Heath. Check out the video on Hoopsworld.com around 11PM pacific tonight.

Chris, Dunleavy may want to start with thinking in general before moving onto things that involve strategy.

Thornton is coming along nicely to say the least. Anyone that has the ability to score 30 plus should start every single game, especially for the Clippers.

The fact that it's taken MD so long to figure this out is only reason # 47 that he should be fired immediately.

How'd you like the wave around the 7 minute mark?

How'd you like Atlanta coming within 3 with the ball, when the clippers were up by 20 in the 4th. Dunleavy almost did it again.

Good job with such a depleted squad, but gee they never make it look easy giving up a 19-2 run late.

QR another nice cameo game, AT must have had a blinder.

Can someone tell me though with such a injury riddled squad how can Dickau get "0" minutes and whats the go with Diaz.

Yeah, it's certainly Dunleavy's fault they almost lost. I'm sure he personally hurt Brand and poisoned Kaman and Maggette. Or maybe they were "refusing" to play for Dunleavy again, in "protest." Man, Clippers fans believe the stupidest things.

nice coming out party for AT. capped it with that nasty block that effectively killed the Hawks rally. A liitle bit of that with a 3/4 healthy EB, this years's CK and any half decent guards (get a high pick for Sam now, could turn into nothing...or the next c.paul or d.williams)and all of a sudden the team looks good again.

@kirbs

Diaz is gone. He finished his, I believe 3rd 10 day contract with the Clippers

The Clips could clear some cap room [though I urge them not to spend it on the Westside Rentals loon], and rid Staples of his once-endearing, but increasingly tiresome shtick. As I told Abbott this morning, I'd trade Darrell Bailey for a deli spread and three cubic liters of pre-jump-ball talc.
