    I dunno. Teams always destroy us on the 2nd night of a b2b. We always play like ****.

    The question is: Will JB play Thornton or bench him?

    4 teams in 2 years while a good scorer...I don't know. I'm thinking this ain't a coaching issue. Blame JB or Harden all you want but I'm thinking Thornton may be the Squid part 2. Keep in mind that a team once traded him for a 36 year old Jason Terry.

    I don't know but you can only judge him by his performance on court. And prior to being benched, he was one of our scorers. Games when he kept us in games or helped us win. What else can Terry bring that he doesn't?

    I don't think he's arguing that he's played poorly.... What I belive he's saying is that Thornton may be a team cancer/locker room distraction. Maybe he's skipping shoot arounds or team meetings? We don't know but something is going on for him to go from 20+ minutes a night to nothing at all.

    "Not the same team"

    Maybe Lawson wasn't the only person they were talking about?

    Rockets pull it off easily. Clippers mentally cannot beat rockets

    LA +'s

    1) Hell bent for revenge after last years playoff knock out
    2) Basically a better team
    3) Josh vs old team = extra effort

    Houston +'s

    1) LA played last night
    2) This team has to break out some time
    3) Beat them earlier this season

    Prediction: LA by 8

    A lot of you guys hate the Warriors or the Mavs. I absolutely hate the clippers. Can't stand them. Please blow them out.

    With Ty suspended, Thornton will surely get some minutes right?
