    Wow, one of the most exciting Clippers games this season. Eddie House OH BABY! Hitting the clutch game winning basket with with 1 second left and the game tied at 100, what a fantastic performance.

    I love the Celtics and they've been one of my favorite teams for a long time, but tonight I was really rooting for the Clippers to win this game because the Celtics WERE tied with the Heat (my team) in 8th place in Atlantic division. Great win for the original L.A. team. I'm glad the Celtics and Heat won't be in the same division after the realignment next season, so i'll be able to always root for both [​IMG].

    Hell yeah! That was great, that looked like the worst possible shot he ever could have taken. And I expected the ball to go to Brand inside, I would have exploded if House did not make that! [​IMG] But that was big, he had confidence in that shot, and I'm glad he could nail it. I love to see those Celtics go down.:mrgreen:

    Let's not forget about Elton Brand though, he literally carried the Clips on his back tonight. Can't really say too much for this guy, he's a beast inside, and doesn't get the recognition for it. Posted 39 points, 11 boards tonight. And you mean to tell me AK47 was picked to go to the All-Star game over him? [​IMG]

    I wanted to see that game bad, but I couldn't find it on TV here in the OC. From what I've been hearing and from what I saw in the stat book, Brand tore it up. The Clippers are talented no doubt, and as long as they keep their core I think they could be battling for the final spots in the playoffs next season.

    It was on your local regional California Fox Sports channel, or if you have NBA League Pass on DirecTV then it was on NBA channel 2 (702).

    Yeah, this was one of the handful of games that aren't broadcasted live in LA. I wanted to watch it too, Big Eazy scored 39, blocked 6 six shots, man, wish I could've seen it. Got to see the last shot on TNT though...with Charles grumbling in the background.

    I'm a big fan of Elton Brand and I'm glad to see that he had 39 points. I was suprised with Eddie House's shot too, I was sure that the ball would go to Brand inside.

    Also, I like to see the Celtics go down. It happens to often now though, Danny Ainge really helped them out this year. :P Well, as long as the Pistons got Mike James and Rasheed Wallace because of Danny, I can't be mad.

    I really want the Clippers to do better though. I just want a change of power in LA, tired of the Lakers. Hopefully, they will be able to keep Elton Brand for a long time and get some more talent.

    Yeah, it looked like they might run a screen and roll for Elton to take the 15 footer, but House decided to take it himself. I'm glad though, he's the best shooter on the team. Being both a Laker fan and a Clipper fan, I always want both of my teams to do well. But after watching the Clippers struggle for all these years, it would be nice to see them on top at some point. Some point in my life at least....please.
