    2:11 left, 4th Qtr. Here are some interesting stats:(PF after name)
    on court:
    M. Taylor 5
    C. Mobley 3
    S. Francis 5
    J. Jackson 5
    K. Cato PF 5
    on bench:
    Y. Ming 4
    B. Nachbar 2
    E. Piatkowski 0
    M. Norris PG 0
    S. Padgett F 2
    J. Amaechi 0
    A. Ford F 0
    M. Wilks 0

    As JVG is teaching his boys to play more aggressive on D and O, what if we met some 'not-so-reasonable' refs and our start-outs are ALL in foul trouble? The clippers are much easier than the western leaders you know.... We will not be so lucky to carry a 5PF through out the 4th quarter all the time....
    Needs more thinking.....

    Hmmm, as if the Jordan Rule?
    I read in some early threads(from Hamlet?) about how the ref will adapt to the way we play hard D games. After 1 season or more, I think some NBA refs will take it as how we are playing our games. But this is the 1st season, I think more refs will do the same thing like in tonight's game....

    I think you're looking for the word "starter" instead of start-outs...

    And that game was just horribly officiated, on both sides of the court. Almost made the game unbearable to watch, too many ticky tack fouls, especially when both teams were over the limit.

    Yes, and thank you for correct me. I dont speak English so I think you could understand this.


    I really hope this game's an exception, though I have seen someone( I cant recall the name) went to the freetrhow line 17 times in a single quarter (the 3rd?) on a game days ago which we lost. This is the 2nd time, I think.
