MOST COMPETITIVE GAME OF THE SEASON



THE FACTS: This was one of the most competitive games of the season for the Los Angeles Clippers as the two teams never trailed by more than 5 points. This game was a complete shootout as the Blazer connected on 11 3pointers while the Clippers made 9. Most of the game the Blazers, lead by Wesley Matthews off the bench, kept fighting the Clippers off from making a run with their 3 point shooting. The game came down to the wire and the Blazers hit the final shots to extend their streak to 5 wins, while the Clippers have lost 3 in a row.

THE STAT: Wesley Matthew killed the Clippers again and did it coming off the bench, scoring 38 points in 33 minutes

QUOTABLE: Wesley Matthew, "Coach McMillian just asked me to go out there and make shots, I ran the plays and the ball went in."

HOT: Wilson Chandler's game returned as he found his shooting stroke once again, hitting 4-6 from deep to go toward his 22 points

NOT: Nick Young returned in this game and had an awful 16 minutes with only 1 point, he shot 0-6 FG, 0-2 3PT, and 1-2 FT

GOOD MOVE: The Clippers were down 4 in the final seconds of the 2Q when Eric Gordon hit a 3 and the buzzer to put the Clippers behind by only 1 point going into the half


BAD MOVE: Any play by Nick Young...

Injuries: After the game, the Clippers have reported that DeAndre Jordan has hurt himself in this game, he is diagnosed with Sore Knees but is not expected to miss any games

Next Game: vs Knicks


Final Score:
PORTLAND TRAILBLAZERS (123) - LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS (119)

Player of the Game:
Wesley Matthews

38 Points, 5 Rebounds off the bench

TRAGIC INJURY FOR WILDCATS



Kentucky Wildcat's star point guard and 2011 NBA Draft prospect Patrick "The Free Man" Freeman was severely injured yesterday in their match against NC State.

Freeman was cutting thought the lane toward the basket where he met the wrong end of Zee Otoo's elbow. Otoo went up to challenge the shot when an accidental elbow struck Freeman in the head.

Freeman immediately collapsed and the game was stopped. Kentucky medial staff quickly rushed to Freeman, who was laying on the ground not moving. After Freeman was taken off the court in a stretcher and the referees had assessed what had happened, Zee Otoo was ejected from the game.

The game would resume without the team's two stars, but a disheartened Wildcat team would fall against the Wolfpack 104-89.

Freeman was taken to the hospital where the doctors have reported that he is stable, but currently in a coma. The Wildcats other freshman point guard, Brandon Knight will step in for Freeman who will most likely be out for the season and maybe longer.

While the incident was horrific, it was also accidental and Zee Otoo will not be punished further.

[rise]

Zee Otoo was ejected from the game.

FUCK THAT! wow that's cool, I have strong elbows! lol

RETRO NIGHT - WHO NEEDS DEFENSE?

THE STAT: The Knicks were unconscious from beyond the arc hitting 12 3pointers compare to only 3 from the Clippers

QUOTABLE: Wilson Chandler on his first game against his old team

HOT: Blake Griffin tied his career high with 53 points, 20 points coming in the 1Q alone

NOT: Nick Young had another terrible night since coming back from injury, he even missed a fast break layup

GOOD MOVE: Baron Davis shows that he still got it! Posterizes Amar'e!


BAD MOVE: Nick Young got a go ahead pass from Wilson Chandler for a fast break layup, but missed it at the rim

Injuries: N/A

Next Game: @ Memphis (Game 1 of 9 Game Road Trip)

CLIPPERS PREP FOR 9 GAME ROADTRIP

The Clippers have sent rookie Willie Warren to the D-League affiliate team, Bakersfield Jam. Warren is the first Clipper every to be sent to the D-League. The common thought in the organization is that prospects would benefit more in the development of NBA practices with the team and NBA staff rather than D-League practices and games.

Because of the Clippers 9 game road trip this month, the Clippers will not have a lot of time to hold practices, in which case it would be better for Warren to get his reps with the Jam until the team returns to Los Angeles after the All-Star Weekend.


The Clippers have also waived Jerry Stackhouse. Stackhouse played a few games for the team while both bench swingmen, Nick Young and rookie Al-Farouq Aminu, were out with injuries. Young has already returned into the lineup despite showing some rust, while Aminu has been cleared by doctors and has been practicing with the team. Aminu is expected to be flying with the team on their roadtrip and there is a good chance he will play limited minutes in Memphis.

Coach VDN made these decision as acting GM while the investigation on KidJustin's whereabouts are still being conducted.

Wait...I forgot to ask. How did Curry know the antidote was in Liberty City? And how did he manage to get it?

Grand Theft 2K11 : DUB Edition, ur thinking is not exactly how the story is going...

[Warlock95]

So...9-game road trip, huh? Only Blake Griffin will spend more time in L.A. for the Rookie Challenge, Slam Dunk Contest and All-Star Game. Good luck!
