Credit the rebounding problem to Kaman. He seems to tip it to the other team everytime he gets a hand on the ball. He's looking like last year's Kaman by looking goofy and getting stripped of the ball 3-5 times a game. Also a Defensive Liability - Big Time! Even Ben Wallace was having his way with him. If Kaman's struggling, I don't understand why Dunleavy doesn't play Thomas at C and Ruben at PF. It worked at the beginning of the season.

It is hard to win w/ all these injuries, what happened to Al and Corey? It's hard for Kaman to rebound every possession, He's going to need some help from everyone. Lastly, Are we a run N' gun team? We don't seem be running anymore?

Rostam, maybe the Fox telecast was different from what happen in the Staple Ctr. As a matter of fact the post game comments by both Dunleavy and some other assistant coach agreed that Kaman is the only one working out there!! One the coaches said that the guys are just standing around watching Kamans play.

There's no excuse they out played us. But no calls were going to the Clippers. Tim offensively is hitting the 3's, but on defense he is a huge liability. Some else needs to jump for those rebounds besides Kaman. Ruben is also a liability on offensive side. Dude was infront of the basket and he is looking to kick out the ball to Kaman. Then he tries to post up and they steal the ball from him.

The problem is injuries, we need to get some of those guys back!!!

i hate it when the clippers win on my tv. see, because i don't have cable, but once in a while, i get to see my clips play in my living room , or so to speak. anwyay...

kaman is definately the only one working, but he can't do everything. I realized watching this game how much we miss elton on the boards. kaman is doing great work being our eb right now on the o, but he can't box everyone out. and tt doesn't even understand what you're saying when you mention the word box.

somehow, the clippers need to work on scoring points early. i don't have the stats, but it seems like all of the games they have lost, they have been down early in the first and been digging they're way out. this team needs to establish itself on the court early to stay in games, because the shots aren't going to go down too easy with the lineups they are putting in there.

ruben patterson is garbage with the ball. it's like watching a second string offensive tackle trying to recover a fumble. he has a nose for the ball, just no hands for it. he is everything that tim thomas is not. we should cut off tim thomas' hands and attach them to ruben patterson's.

seriously though, you can't expect to win games with a lineup like: knight, injured cat, ruben patterson, aaron williams and paul davis. everytime the ball goes inside you just close your eyes.

Ralph and mike seem to be settling into a long season. i'm ready for a new mike smith. moron, um ,mormons creep me. there, i said it. apologies.

I still thing we can beat denver. if... we hit shots early and q does his usual work to get melo mad. that's the only thing i liked about tonights game. a little wassup. nothing like an nba court with tempers flaring.

goodnight'

Maybe so. And it's already a bit painful. But I still prefer it to Seinfeld re-runs and just about everything else coming out of that box.
And when they win the title in 2029, I'll be able to sqwauk about not being a bandwagoner.

I can't believe they called a flagrant foul on Kaman. I understand the Tim Thomas foul, but Kaman's foul. Bulls fans thought the Kaman foul was a nice hard foul

Previous several seasons, Dunleavy forced Clippers to sacrifice victory over KAMAN's training in real games. Why is he not doing the same with Al Thornton? And why didn't he do the same with Chris Wilcox?

During radio interview with Mike Smith on Friday, Dunleavy was emotional while talking about Kaman.

Oh yes, when Coaches engage in 'personal' indulgence over fans & future of team, then don't be surprised if your team hit a big rock along the way.

Mike Smith is hard to take. I am sick of him in a huge way. He has an annoying way about him and all he does is prattle on about how great the opposing teams players are. He needs to go. He needed to go last year when he was on his "Q Ross is such a great player" bit.

Actually it's a good time for Magetti to be out cus clippers will lose to denver, suns, and houston anyway.

We're seeing a very heady offensive player who knows how to create shots for himself in the halfcourt. Despite finishing with a 3-13 line from the field, Thornton had his best night at a pro.
