By Steve Perrin Meanwhile Emeka Okafor, newly arrived in the west, has had a nice start to his New Orleans Hornets' career.  He's currently playing 10 fewer minutes per game than Kaman which hurts his raw numbers, but his per 36 averages stack up well at 17 points and 12.6 rebounds.  He's also blocking a lot of...

By Steve Perrin The good news for the team continues to be Chris Kaman.  He entered the game averaging 22 points and 10 rebounds per game, and best both of those numbers by going to 25 and 11.  It was his fourth consecutive game with 20 or more points - his previous career high was two in a row.  Two seasons ago when...

By Steve Perrin Obviously, MDsr chose to stick with Telfair, Butler and Smith rather than going back to starters Baron, Thornton and Camby down the stretch.  It's hard to argue, given that that was the group that got him back in the game.  Certainly Butler and Smith seemed like no-brainers.  Thornton had a n...

By Steve Perrin The Clippers and Jazz were tied at 57 with 2 minutes to go in the third.  In the final 14 minutes, they were outscored 32-16, and Millsap alone accounted for 17 of them, including 15 in a row in the fourth.  He outscored the Clippers by himself in the final period, 15-13.

By Steve Perrin So even with a turn-back-the-clock fourth quarter performance from the old white guy at the YMCA, the Clippers still win this game with better execution down the stretch. Having said that, I don't think the officials had their finest hour in the fourth quarter.  I guess we'll call it a stati...

By Steve Perrin Al Thornton rebounded well.  It's only one game, but Al desperately needs to be a better rebounder this season, and nine rebounds in his first game of the season is a great start.  Led by Kaman and Thornton, the Clippers outrebounded the Lakers tonight - not something that happened very freq...

By Steve Perrin This isn’t like plugging QRoss in for Maggs in 0506. The Clips will respond now with options that are much better than QRoss.

By Steve Perrin As I mentioned last Thursday in Part 1 of this effort, other than the backcourt of Baron Davis and Eric Gordon, there are no givens in the starting lineup for the Clippers this season.  The de facto starters going into training camp were Davis and Gordon, with Al Thornton, Marcus Camby and Ch...

By Steve Perrin The gorilla in the room for the Clippers is always injuries.  This summer, after LA won the lottery, every writer's angle was how the Clippers history with first overall picks was terrible: Michael Olowokandi and Danny Manning.  But the simple fact is, Manning was the absolutely correct p...

By Steve Perrin Other than the backcourt of Baron Davis and Eric Gordon, there are no givens in the starting lineup for the Clippers on opening day this season.  Coach Mike Dunleavy Sr. went into camp viewing it as a competition, which can certainly be a good thing.  Starting jobs should not be hereditary - pl...

By Steve Perrin Overall, it's the kind of box score you might expect from a team playing an exhibition against an undermanned opponent.  Seven Clippers scored in double figures, the team shot 55%, it's all pretty good (except the 18 turnovers).  Seven of the turnovers came from the point guards, who other...

By Steve Perrin For the Clippers, MDsr would like to give Rasual Butler a night off, but may not be able to if Al Thornton can't go.  Ditto for Baron Davis and Sebastian Telfair.  If Bassy is alright to play decent minutes, then Baron will likely get the night off.

By Steve Perrin And of course Randolph is the player that spawned Telfair and Smith as well.  Randolph, became Quentin Richardson, Richardson became Smith and Telfair.  Tracing the legacy a bit further back, Randolph himself came to the Clippers in exchange for Cuttino Mobley and Tim Thomas, who were fr...

By Steve Perrin The Jazz, like the Clippers, are 3-1 in pre-season so far.  If the Clippers don't give anyone the night off, I would expect Griffin to replace Camby in the starting lineup with Baron, Gordon, Thornton and Kaman.  But Baron is due for a night off soon, so don't be surprised if Bassy gets the call...

By Steve Perrin Baron Davis was the only Clipper starter over 25 who didn't get the night off, and that's likely only because Sebastian Telfair was still resting his tweaked hamstring.  Baron didn't shoot well in his 24 minutes, but as he did against the Warriors Monday, he led the Clippers out of halftime...

By Steve Perrin A short practice today for the team, coming off a game last night and with a trip to Texas for tomorrow's San Antonio game looming.  Before I forget, Sebastian Telfair was shooting around in practice, but will not play against the Spurs.  The Clippers are in no hurry to rush him back, and want t...

By Steve Perrin It's way too early, but tempting nonetheless, to say that the Clippers exhibited a level of professional pride in this game, coming back strong in the second half after playing a terrible first half, that we literally never saw last season.  There were no second half comebacks last year (n...

By Steve Perrin Assuming MDsr sticks with the same starting five, Camby will be on Randolph to start.  But as of right now, Corey Maggette is the Warriors back up power forward, and it's hard to imagine Camby (or Craig Smith for that matter) defending Maggette.  So look for Griffin to get that assignment, or...

By Steve Perrin Overall, it's hard to find a Clipper that didn't play well.  Eric Gordon was his efficient self, scoring 12 points on 8 shots.  Moreover, he played commendable D on Brandon Roy, one of the superstar two guards who could end up giving him trouble this season.  The point guards (Baron Davis and S...

By Steve Perrin Curry wants what Baron has. For those of you who recall the Clippers victory over the Lakers in pre-season a year ago, let's all remember this fact - preseason doesn't matter.  But it's pretty obvious that you can't win a game when you commit 26 turnovers and 34 fouls. 

By Steve Perrin Gordon - Both in summer league and in training camp, it's been interesting to see the coaching staff pushing Eric Gordon.  MDsr has always had a penchant for post isolations, and he'll run that iso for any matchup on the floor he fancies.  The 2006 Clippers that advanced to the Conference Sem...

By Steve Perrin Keep an eye on the You Tube channel for the Clippers - you can see MDsr's comments there when they are posted, which should be pretty soon. White won, mostly on the inside strength of DJ and Kaman.  That's when I noticed that Camby wasn't out there - when I saw Craig Smith giving away like 6 inches...

By Steve Perrin Last season, with the addition of Eric Gordon and Steve Novak, there was an uptick in those stats.  And when asked who looked good in practice today, CMDsr focused on shooting, singling out Novak, Gordon and Ricky Davis for lighting it up.  (He also praised DeAndre Jordan for the second day i...

By Steve Perrin As for the practice session, he was again pretty positive.  When asked who is standing out, he once again praised the 'new rotation guys' (which is what I'm going to start calling them - the NRGs, or is that too lame?), Telfair, Butler and Smith.  He also had nice things to say about DeAndre J...

By Steve Perrin the first unit consisted of Baron, EJ, Thornton, Camby and Kaman; the second unit was Telfair, Butler, Ricky Davis, Smith and DJ; the third unit was everyone else - Collins, Anthony Roberson, Jerel McNeal, Kareem Rush, Novak, Taj Gray and Skinner.

By Steve Perrin Well, Citizens, the drought of Clippers news is over.  The season is still four weeks away, but today is media day at Staples Center, training camp opens tomorrow, and the first pre-season game is only six days away, Sunday, against the Warriors.  In other words, there will be plenty to talk...

By Steve Perrin Here's one way to look at the lack of quality at the end of the LA bench in recent years.  In the last four seasons, by my count 10 players have occupied the Clippers' final four roster spots, 11 through 14 - N'Dong, Paul Davis, Hart, Dickau, Ewing, Patterson, Korolev, Skinner, Williams and Mc...

By bystander CLIPPER(S) WHO CASHED-IN TONIGHT: Skinner. Skinner did himself a favor with his job auditions the last couple of nights.

By ClipperSteve But the only reason the Clippers didn't lose these last two games by 40 points each is because the other team simply couldn't be bothered.  With the playoffs looming, the top players need to get their rest.  A third to a half a game is plenty to beat the Clippers.

By citizen zhiv So what went wrong?  Clipper guards.  Baron Davis, at this point, we half-expect to be mediocre or downright bad.  He was pretty horrible, and killed a lot of the Clipper momentum at the end of the first half, taking command as the Clips were on the rise and making an impressive series of empt...

By ClipperSteve As good as Bell was, Okafor was better.  When the Clippers were threatening to run away after building a 15 point lead in the second quarter, Okafor took over.  He scored 15 points in the quarter, including 13 in a row.  It's worth noting that most of Okafor's run came against a Clipper lineup co...

By ClipperSteve The Clippers are 3-0 in pre-season, and there have been some incredibly bright spots.  Mike Taylor is looking like the steal of the draft, Eric Gordon went off for 33 last night, Al Thornton looks sharp... and while the wins don't matter, they don't suck either.

By ClipperSteve But all that "It's just pre-season" stuff aside, can we all agree that depth is looking like less and less of a problem?  The Clippers overcame a 17 point deficit, and erased 10 of it in the fourth quarter with the three rookies on the court. 

By ClipperSteve Well Stein's ESPN colleague John Hollinger has released his Western Conference previews, and he has the Clippers ranked 12th in the Conference.  Behind the Warriors AND the Timberwolves.  Seriously.  That's what he wrote.  He's predicting 30 wins.

By ClipperSteve Of course, the changes this summer went way beyond the departure of Elton Brand and the arrival of Baron Davis.  Gone from the Clippers' 2006 playoff team are Brand, Corey Maggette, Shaun Livingston, Sam Cassell and Quinton Ross.  There have been lots of references to 'Baron for Brand' or '...

By ClipperSteve I'll reflect on the bigger picture (Davis and Camby versus Brand and Maggette, 05-06 Clippers versus 08-09 Clippers, etc.) at a later time.  For now, yes, I love his trade.  Let me also add that when deals like this happen, where a team gives up a player for almost literally nothing strictly fo...

By ClipperSteve There are of course other options, but the above list gives you an idea of the spectrum.  If nothing is done, the Clippers will have a lot of problems this season.  Tim Thomas, Josh Powell, Al Thornton, Paul Davis.  None of these guys are legitimate NBA starting power forwards.   Remember that...

By ClipperSteve So where did the extra money come from?  That's a pretty good question.  Reports in the media talked about renouncing Shaun Livingston, Dan Dickau, Smush Parker, James Singleton, Boniface NDong, Quinton Ross, Marcus Williams and Nick Fazekas to free up more money.  There was also the que...

By ClipperSteve The Spurs analogy is particularly poignant for Clippers fans, since the 96-97 Clippers squeezed into the playoffs with 36 wins behind Loy Vaught and Malik Sealy, thus taking themselves out of the Duncan Derby. I'm not predicting that the Clippers will have a turnaround similar to the 97 S...

By ClipperSteve Tough Schedule.  Based on last season's results, closing with games against the Rockets (5th in 06-07), Nuggets (6th), Lakers (7th), Warriors (8th) and Hornets (10th) would have made perfect sense for the barely-missed-the-07-playoffs Clippers.  In fact, it would have given them a ch...

By ClipperSteve For now, I guess I have two things after all.  First of all, Dallas is in BIG TROUBLE.  With Kaman hurt, Mobley hurt and Maggette shooting 3 for 15 (0 for 8 on two pointers), and the Clippers as a team shooting 36.8%, they still needed every advantage the referees gave them in order to beat the Clip...

By ClipperSteve It is not unreasonable to suggest that Chris Kaman would not have had the first half he had (before his injuries) sharing the low post with Elton Brand.  Obviously he's getting more touches - though it's more difficult to suggest that he's getting easier looks given that defenses are able t...

By ClipperSteve Tim Thomas is still out with a strained groin muscle.  (Why is it an adductor for Mobley, but a groin for Thomas?  Seems like a double standard.)   Not that he's my favorite Clipper, but he is 6'10", and he can score.  With Brand and Davis out and Kaman's minutes limited, big guys are in short supp...
