Well, with Brand out Tim Thonas is going to slide over and take the starting PF position, which means Al Thornton is now the backup SF. Im not sure what Dunleavy, Baylor, and Sterling do with their line up, style, and trying to find a replacement for Brand. I would say go up tempo, but two two main compontens of the Clippers success in an up tempo offense are out for the year (Brand and Livingston).</p> Anyone want to project Thornston's stats and minutes now? This is going to be a disaster season, but at least the Clippers have a shot ata premier talent in the draft. Too bad it is the draft after Durant and Oden, just the Clippers' luck.</p>
