Keys to the Game
1. Find Ways to Deal with the Pressure
The Clippers are first in the league in steals and second in the NBA in defensive turnover rate. CP3 figures to lead the league again in steals, but his apprentice Eric Bledsoe is just as good at creating turnovers. Paul is averaging 2.8 steals per 36 minutes, while Bledsoe is averaging 2.7. Matt Barnes, Jamal Crawford, and Blake Griffin all average over a steal a game, and when these guys get a steal, they get the ball to CP3 who always makes you pay in transition.
2. Attack the Offensive Glass
The Clippers are 24th in the league in defensive rebound percentage, primarily because DeAndre Jordan only gets 27 minutes per game and when he is off the floor, teams eat the Clippers alive on the boards. When they go small and play Griffin at the five or when they sub Ryan Hollins in, Jason Smith, Ryan Anderson, and Robin Lopez have to make them pay.
3. Attack the Rim
The Hornets play a perimeter game offensively, but that is going to have to change tonight if they have any chance of pulling this one out. You have to make the Clippers pay for gambling and for going small, and the way you do that is by attacking and getting to the line. The Clippers have yielded the 5th most free throw attempts in the league this season, as Ryan Hollins, Lamar Odom, and DeAndre Jordan have been fouling machines. Take it inside on those guys and get as many trips to the line as you can.

If they wanted to trade him, then they wouldn't have asked him to join tonight.

Two players. Two lower extremities. No discomfort of note.
Neither are playing.
Guess who is putting in time at WBOK 1230 AM Talk Radio... Don't guess, it's me. Tune in on Fridays at 12 noon for Sport-a-Talk with Roe Brown and you might just hear me!
Feel free to PM me for details.
Are any of you watching the Bobcats game? they are losing like 82-29... wow that's embarrassing. They don't deserve the Hornets name back
awwww ****! As long as Blake and CP gets abused im straight.
Maybe it wouldn't look too bad if they played their best shooter.
Contributor
Maybe if we give them our name, our bad luck with injures will transfer to them.

I'm watching Lillard go 3-16 in Detroit. Detroit will likely get the win and have a better record than the Hornets tonight.Knicks/Nets is a very close game on TNT.
So the Bobcats just scored 24 points in a single half vs the Thunder.
They're down 86-42 and it's almost the 4th quarter.
and I thought we have been playing bad...
NBA Draft Big Board:
1. Victor Oladipo
2. Ben McLemore
3. Otto Porter Jr.
4. CJ McCollum
5. Trey Burke
6. Nerlens Noel
7. Alex Len
8. Anthony Bennett
9. Cody Zeller
10. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope
Watching Nets vs Knicks. The Nets are better then i thought they were.

Our badness can be attributed to not having our two best players or two of them playing.
Contributor
The nets are really good.
it helps to have the right Lopez twin....

Gotta admit, the white n blacks have grown on me.
Man i wish we had Gerald Wallace.
on a sidenote it looks like Jay Z got fatter and Beyonce got hotter?
Good point

Carmelo and Tyson are doing their thing but they haven't gotten much from anyone else tonite. Rasheed and Felton have been doing their best to chuck the Knicks out of the game.
Damn Monty really said that. I wonder who he was taking about
