Fred Jones starting at SF?

[Sinobas]

The Clippers are playing 6-2 Fred Jones at SF with Al Thorton being out. We should be able to really dominate them on the boards. We seem to have a hard time taking advantage of small teams inside though. Outlaw and Aldridge have never looked comfortable taking smaller guys down low.

But good God, Fred Jones and Brian Skinner as the starting forwards?

Socrates!

Man, two former Blazers who played for us during some dark days. I'm glad their cloud has moved to another team.

Second of a back to back is going to be a little rough regardless of who is playing for the Clips, and with nothing to lose I'd expect them to put up a pretty good fight.

I mean, the Blazers should still smoke their asses, but I won't be shocked if it ends a lot closer than we'd hope for.

Just so long as we don't play Outlaw at SF, cause Fred might be only 6'2", but even he will outrebound Outlaw.

The Clippers are coming off a back to back as well.

Exactly, Outlaw does not know how to play against smaller players, they are his kryptonite.

Z-Bo will be back though. And he'll be over his hangover!

I'm not sure I'd call what the Clippers played tonight a "game". It was like a practice. Only 2 players played more than 30 minutes.

And it was a home game too.

Conversely, we had 3 players play more than 37 minutes, including LaMarcus playing 40 (Brandon and Blake played 37 each).
