BAD HOLIDAY FOR CLIPPERS IN PHILLY



THE FACTS: The Clippers, lead by Blake Griffin started the game as a force and seemed to be back on track for a dominant win. But they were not able to put the Sixers away during their strong 1Q. Mainly because Jrue Holiday was picking apart the defense as he was showing to be much faster and more decisive than his opponent, fellow UCLA Bruin Baron Davis. The Sixers are at the bottom of the league right now, but they came into this game to fight and that may have caught the Clippers off-guard. Holiday continued to utilize his speed to penetrate and find the open man, which would either lead to an easy bucket or a foul and a trip to the line. The Sixers dominated the charity stripe as they shot an astonishing 91% on free throws. Try as they might, the Clippers were never able to catch up in the 2nd Half. The Clippers need to get things together as they have lost 3 in a row now to low teams this season, their next game will be much much tougher as they will face the Celtics in Boston.

THE STAT: Free Throw shooting: Clippers shot 59% versus Sixers 91%

QUOTABLE: Blake Griffin, "I just gotta keep playing my game...The Refs will make the right calls next time..."

HOT: Blake Griffin's 1Q really showed he meant business tonight scoring 17 points on 8-8 shooting

NOT: Clippers 3Q collapse, as a team they shot 34% and allowed the Sixers to shoot 50%

GOOD MOVE: Baron Davis elevated late in the 4Q to dunk it over ex-Clippers Elton Brand


BAD MOVE: Blake Griffin has been frustrated lately on this road trip as he has been getting fouled hard and the refs have not been calling it. In this game he got fed up late in the game and got a technical foul. Jrue Holiday went to shoot the FT, but missed it.


Injuries: N/A

Next Game: @ Celtics (4 of 9 Game Road Trip)


Final Score:
PHILADELPHIA 76ERS (118) - LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS (105)

WIZARDS OFFER TO SWAP FORMER #1 PICKS

The minds over in Washington have made a bold move as they have called him the Clippers inquiring about a possible swap involving John Wall and Blake Griffin!

While Clippers GM KidJustin is still missing and Head Coach Vinny Del Negro is currently the acting GM, it was a no-brainer to quickly send the Wizards a big fat NO on this offer.

[Bucket]

Wow you are on 3 game losing streak. Nice to see Jrue with double double
Gordon's 8-22 FG? That sucks. In Create-a-caption looks like Brand dances in air.

[KidJustin]

road trip is killing me.....

next game...Celtics in Boston.....yippy

[Bucket]

KidJustin, Boston? Good luck...
Wall for Griffin? lmao

[Justine.]

3 games losing streak

[Lamrock]

Tough stretch but it is realistic. Too bad you couldn't handle the Jruth though.

CLIPPERS SNAP LOSING STREAK - BLOW OUT CELTICS AT HOME



THE FACTS: The game started with Blake Griffin missing a dunk and Ray Allen hitting 2 three pointers in a row. It looked to be a long night for the Clippers once again, but they continued to fight back. Eventually they would catch them at 22 and never looked back. The Celtics were already missing Kevin Garnett, so Paul Pierce and Ray Allen had to step up. Ray Allen started hot, but was anything but after the 1Q. Instead it was the Clippers who caught fire from beyond the arc to take a big lead. The Celtics did open the 3Q on a 8-0 run to tie the game, but VDN called a timeout. The play drawn up, a Blake Griffin alley-oop that worked to perfection. After than play the Clippers dominated the game and pushed the lead as high as 22. Paul Pierce did his best to get the Celtics back in the game with a game high 33 points, but he had no help as they would fall big to the Clippers, who were previously on a 3 game skid before this game.

THE STAT: The Clippers bench dominated in this game 45 to 13, lead by rookie Eric Bledsoe who was 4-4 from 3 point land

QUOTABLE: "He’s fabulous," O'Neal said of Griffin. "You guys know I don’t give it up to anybody, but I’m giving it up to that young fella."

HOT: Clippers 3 point shooting. 13/23 for the game 56% which included 4-4 from Eric Bledsoe and 3-4 from Al-Farouq Aminu


NOT: Celtics 3 point shooting. 1Q 3/4 the rest of the quarters 2/12...totaling 41%

GOOD MOVE: Baron Davis on the fast break passes a perfect alley-oop to Blake Griffin


BAD MOVE: With only 0.4 seconds left at the end of the half, Rajon Rondo fouled Baron Davis, who would sink 2 free throws

Injuries: Rasual Butler hit a 3 late in the 4Q but landed hard on his back and is now out with a lower back strain. Willie Warren was called back from the Bakersfield Jam to replace Butler on the bench for the next few games as he recovers


Next Game: @ Wizards (5 of 9 Game Road Trip)


Final Score:

BLAZERS SHOPPING BRANDON ROY

Another trade offer, another rejection. When will people learn that Gordon and Griffin are off the table?

[George7]

KidJustin, For a draft pick as well,I would have done it!

[Lamrock]

Trading Eric Gordon and Aminu for Roy's corpse is such a Clippers thing to do

[puttincomputers]

Create a caption (Celtics game)

Come on ref! Are you seriously going to help the Celtics cheat?

[mpac]

[KidJustin]
