At the end of one, Indiana has a 3 point lead, and although these teams might be in the 50s, it doesn't seem like a fast paced game. Nice athletic steal by Thornton and a nice try but shot didn't fall and the half came to and end. Clipper injury woes continue with Mobley being doubtful to return tonight and Knight most likely not going to play, on top of that, Patterson getting his dislocated finger checked.
Box-Score Standouts:
Chris Kaman: 6|10|3 with a steal
Al Thornton: 11|4 + a steal
Sam Cassell: 18|3 on 7-10 Shooting
Travis Diener: 6|4 on 2-3 from the arc
Jermaine O'Neal: 13|2|4 on 6-9 shooting
Troy Murphy: 10|2 on 2-3 treys
Now Corey Maggette is injured...are you ****ing kidding me...what the hell is going on with the injuries this ****ing year. Maggette, Mobley, Brand, Livingston AND Patterson all injured, that's an entire starting five....oh man....what the.....grrr
1. Cant believe both teams are undefeated
2. How the hell is LA winning???
3. Who pissed off Chris Caveman? He's going nutso out there
1] Indy I can't speak much for but Clippers have been running like crazy with someone stepping up each night, also helped they played vs W's and vs Sonics along with @ the struggling Bulls.
2] Sam Cassell plain and simple. He's been huge along with Thornton stepping up. Kaman isn't playing as well as stats might show, but 9/13 is very solid
3] Kaman said he would step it up this season after last season ended, and he is doing just that. Earning his contract thus far.
Clippers up 11 and Indiana time out with 3 minutes left in the third. Sammy is just sizzling on the court, and Kaman has 11/16 again.
29 points, 3 boards, 6 dimes, 1 steal, 2 turnovers on 10-14 shooting in 26 minutes for ET
This is just insane man....Clippers = good money, to bet on. Altho i havent been impressed with Indiana even during wins but they are good enough with a healthy Oneal, Murphy back that they should be up 11. Not Clippers. Maybe teams take them lightly with no Brand or maybe teams like this just play thru adversity and everyone steps up/fills in.
Damn Sam Cassel! Thats wild statline thus far...he's capable of it tho but still.
Thornton almost hits another buzzer beater, but this one is off and Clippers lead 87-72 at the end of three. Kaman has 13/18...could he get another 20/20 game? Man, he has been beasting up on the boards tonight.

Strained his groin if I'm not mistaken, might miss Friday's game, but doesn't seem to be anything serious.
Kaman: 19 Rebounds
Pacers: 28 Rebounds
I didn't expect 4-0[hoping they are able to hang on tonight], hopefully they can keep this up and go .500 the rest of the way, I'd be content. That would equal to 43 victories. Do this!
3. Who pissed off Chris Caveman? He's going nutso out there
Just wave something shiny at him to distract him, instant Kaman neutralizer. They should hand out aluminum foil to the fans instead of those thunderstick things.
