Q's Quote:
Clippers are coming off a great win against the Thunder, now have to fly up to Minnesota to face a depleted Wolves squad and try to extend their lead over Memphis for home court in round 1, along with trying to climb up to the third seed. Grizzlies play the Spurs tonight, so that should be a good one while Lakers are off. Clips can cut to 1 game behind the Lakers (2 counting the tie-breaker) and extend to 1.5 over the Grizzlies (2.5 counting the tie-breaker). Let's go!

Remaining Games for Clips: vs Golden State, vs Oklahoma City, @ Denver, vs Phoenix, @ New Orleans, @ Atlanta, @ New York

The Clippers can't lose a game like this, especially with how close the standings are.

Without Darko, Love, Rubio and Ridnour.. 4 of their top 5 players... a loss would destroy the locker room. It would be worse than when they lost to Suns without Nash+Hill.

When is Mo Williams coming back, and who's the odd man out in the rotation when he does?

Tonight is his return. I'd assume since Nick Young will move to the 3 with the bench unit. So it will be Mo, Bledsoe, Young, Evans, K-Mart as the bench unit.

Pekovic will destroy DeAndre. The Clipps will win big, though.

I'd think the odd man out would be Bobby Simmons and probably Randy Foye losing minutes as well.

Expecting a quiet night from CP3 tonight unless he's required.

Predicting 8pts 12 assits 5 steals.

Quiet game by everyone, good return by Mo Gotti thus far.

Clips needa come out with some intensity in the 2nd half, put this game away.
