    Since that vote is public, I'm not going to answer it. That could start too many things (and I realize it's already probably started in the OT section) either way someone votes.

    Do we know the extent of Aminu's injury? If he can't go tomorrow, Terry should start Vonleh. He should at least help our rebounding woes. He had 8 rebounds tonight, most on the team, in only 14:31.

    I don't see this one. They are rested, we are back to back, their frontcourt is good, our frontcourt is less good. Going 6-3 would be great for confidence but I don't see this happening here unfortunately.

    Whenever he's played, Noah has done fine this season. Decent defense, great rebounding and some glimpses of good offensive play. I don't understand why he has been used so little when our power forward options have been very bad so far.

    I think Vonleh will likely start, and Griffin is going to go after him from the get go. I also think that Speights is going to see a lot of time, and I hope he doesn't light us up tonight like he did 2 weeks ago.

    I also don't expect much out of this game.

    One of these games, Noah will get those jams down. Dude has ridiculous hands. Ball looks like an orange when he palms it.

    Oh boy tonight will be an ass kicking by the Clippers. I don't know what it is for some reason this team gives us fits

    It still shocks me ppl say we would have beaten them in the playoffs without their injuries still

    4th game in 6 nights. Back to back after heavy minutes last night. Aminu out.

    Great night to rest Dame and CJ. Let ET do his thing with Shabazz and Quarterman.

    I would think that Von would start tonight and if he can step up it be huge for the team and him. Yes we need rebounding very bad Plum have a good game once and while and David and ML has been no show on the boards this season.

    We don't have a game until Kings on Friday at home though, I would not throw this one just yet. Let's see how we start and if it's bad, drop the starters.

    Who to start in place of Aminu? I would go with Vonleh. Griffin will get whoever covers him in foul trouble, but I think he can do as good as anyone we have in trying to slow him down.

    Why do people post stuff like this when they know it will never happen. So let's just concede the game? People would be up in arms in here if they did.

    Because it has been proven that over-exerting players will only lead to injuries?
