That was a nice block that Ross had, 42 all at the half.
I've been an LA Clipper fan since 1998 and that will never change. I hate our new logo and jerseys!

Tied at 42 at the half. Clippers' shooting went cold in the 2nd but I still applaud their defense. We just need to convert on the offensive end. The Clippers have showed some of the best basketball they have played in ages. We need to keep up the intensity in the 2nd half. Let's Go Clips :clap:

Ross blocked Duncan! I can't believe it. But then again, Earl Watson blocked Shawn Bradley's shot back in 2002. So anything can happen in this league.

Good first half from the Clipps. Love the way Thornton is playing. We can't afford to slack off at the end of quarters.

The third quarter has been our bad quarter, so let's hope we come out ready to play.

A couple of early mistakes by Thornton in the 3rd.

Thornton ties it up on an 18 footer assist from Kaman. Then Finley gives the Spurs the lead with a 21 footer of his own.

Looks like the Spurs have slow this game down to their style of play. The Clips have to be careful of not shooting up bad shots. And continue to attack the glass. Plus Kaman and Thornton can't be the oly ones playing here. Maggs need to bring it some more and Sam I Am needs to get involve as well.

Manu's in the game. I think the Spurs made be looking to put on the perimeter game.

64-62 Spurs at the end of 3. Still not too bad. It's anybody's game. We've hung in there with them so far, we just need to pull ahead down the stretch.

Manu has a 6-0 run going for the Spurs. 66-62. The Clips D needs to tighten up a bit.

After Cuttino hits a bankshot to tie the game up at 68, the Spurs score 4 unanswered points. Thomas & Kaman will be entering the game after the timeout.

Well this is all pretty exciting. I hope they win but win or lose, it certainly has been a highlight for us fans.
