Chriss misses a fade away layup. Why not try to dunk it, Mr. High Jump?

Guys. Guys. I think Mike James might actually be good at basketball. We are just going to have to accept this.

Alex is very good on D. He needs to be starting.

Chandler is basically a statue on defense nowadays - he's not very mobile and can't challenge shots. I get the feeling they held on to him to long.

That travel could be called 15 times a game, and it almost never is. But they decided to call it on Chriss this time. I am not too upset about it.

For those not watching, he just traveled on a breakaway layup all alone under the basket. Where are the hops, MC?

This is just begrudging acceptance at this point. I'm going to need more time.

Ya think?!

We need to start Len, and we really need another big. Chandler is ready for DNP-CD status.

He's gotta start hitting his open 3s. He shoots better under pressure.

This actually looks like a basketball game so far. So that is good news!

I really want to see a 5 man unit of Bledsoe/Booker/Jackson/Bender/Len get some significant play time. I suspect that will be our best 5 man unit this year.

I'm watching but a few minutes behind on DVR delay. Man, it's hard to watch Chriss out there. He did hit a 3, but he looks totally outclassed against Blake.

I missed the Chriss travel. I just heard the Clippers TV guys talking about it.

Alex is making a major impact on this game. He singlehandedly makes us a solid rebounding team.

Booker has that Harden kinda dribble-probe and PnR ability. I like seeing him set up the offense like that. A lot of potential there.

Yep, hanging in there for the whole first quarter. I'll take it.

Speaking of which, I'm forced to watch the Clippers broadcast as well and they replaced Mike Smith with Bruce Bowen. Yuck!
