Coverage

Clips Nation / L.A. Times / ClipperBlog

Update: Carlos Delfino will miss the game due to a sprained ankle.  Charles Gardner reports Charlie Bell will start in his place.  Delfino played through the injury for much of the second half on Sunday but was in a walking boot this morning. Thankfully it doesn't sound like a serious injury and expect to see lots of Jerry Stackhouse, himself coming off a minor injury.

"He's only wearing the boot for precautionary reasons.  More than likely, in a playoff game he would play tonight. We want to err on the side of caution. He's got a couple things going on in there, but he's still a little bit sore. We didn't want to push it tonight."

Star-divide

Three.
The Clippers shot 5-25 (.200) on three pointers in their 108-100 loss to the Hornets on Monday. The starting backcourt of Baron Davis (0-3) and Eric Gordon (0-7) combined to shoot 0-10 from long range. Gordon (.366) isn't typically bad from outside, but Davis (.284) really needs to stop it with the threes. He's attempting 4.0 per game, making 1.1. As a team, the Clips are pretty bad from beyond the arc, ranking 27th in the NBA at 33.5 %.

The Bucks are second in the NBA allowing just 5.3 threes per game, so we'll see.

Brandon and Baron.
Jennings fared very, very well against superstar and supersized Deron Williams last week. Now Brandon Jennings returns home tonight, where he will face another literally and figuratively big point guard matchup. The 63" and 215 pound Baron Davis scored 18 points and dished out a season-high 17 assists in Monday's loss, the team's eighth loss in a row.

Whose turn?
I mentioned this in the recap of the Pacers game: The Bucks have had a different leading scorer in five straight games (all wins).

@ Washington: Delfino (and Bogut) 19
vs Cleveland: Jennings 25
vs Boston: Bogut 25
vs Utah: Salmons 24
vs Indiana: Stackhouse 20

NBA > NCAA.
The NCAA tournament starts tomorrow, well, technically it started last night with the play-in game. Including that one, there were 65 teams for 64 total games. Coincidentally, the Bucks have played exactly 65 games so far.

Some people like to say this tourney is it. Would you trade watching the first 65 Bucks games for the NCAA tournament? Oh, my.

So ridiculous.
Kelly Dwyer, writing Behind the Boxscore (a daily must-read), was not too fond of the Clips' effort in their 108-100 loss to the Hornets on Monday. Are the Clippers this year's anti-Bucks?

The Clippers are so ridiculous, so nutty, so laughin' when you're down nine in the fourth quarter, so full of weirdos that pass up open shots to take odd shots while doing weird things on each end of the floor while likely making all sorts of excuses in the huddle or while running (sometimes) back down the court. If a certain season-ticket holder had any hair on his chinny-chin-chin, he'd actually report on a few things and give us a book for the ages on this mess.

Mismatch?
This game looks like a major mismatch considering the recent forms of the team: The Clippers (eight straight losses) are as cold as the Bucks are hot (six straight wins). Los Angeles can't score and Milwaukee can't be scored on. If the Jazz/Bucks game was the unstoppable force against the immovable object, then this is the inherently stoppable anti-force against the immovable object.

But don't overlook any team on the road. The Clippers are 18-15 at home while the Bucks are 13-20 on the road. Granted, Milwaukee has been just about unbeatable on the road since Stack and Salmons came aboard, but even the elite NBA teams are vulnerable on the road. And hot as they are, the Bucks haven't graduated to the elite yet.

As such, the Bucks are slight, 4.5-point favorites.

ESPN.
Nice to get some broadcast love with the game on ESPN, but since it's St. Patrick's Day, against the Clippers, and starts at 9:30 central, not sure this will be a ratings winner.

Nice read as usual. You’re must be using an old template as you have Bell starting, unless Salmons is out?

Thanks for the catch, should be Salmons.Sorry to scare.

by Alex Boeder on Mar 17, 2010 9:11 AM CDT via mobile up reply actions  

yeah... little scary

Not that I don’t think Bell would be ok against the Clippers, I’m glad it’ll be Salmons in the 2. I was thinking for a minute that Charlie was upset about not getting th PT, so he went tanya harding on Salmons knee

Turns out Bell will be starting, but in place of the injured Delfino, not Salmons. Not a good thing, but hopefully Bell/Stack can fill the void.

Nice to see the Bucks getting some national love...

I was watching a Sports 32 interview with BJ last night and BJ was saying Ray Allen put in a good word about Milwaukee and the value of staying in one city your whole career. Thanks Ray… I would hate to lose BJ once he hit his prime. Granted that is 3 more option years away and another year of the QO….

by Superelkman on Mar 17, 2010 9:49 AM CDT reply actions  

What would you think of Ray coming back

to the Bucks on a farewell tour? He could be used as an awesome 6th man. If Salmons decides to opt out, the Bucks will need another scorer. He isn’t a great defender, but defends much more/better than Redd. If he can be had for a low enough price tag, I’d love it.

Go Beer, I mean Bucks

by Take Back Our Bucks on Mar 17, 2010 9:56 AM CDT up reply actions  

if Redd is able to come back...

it would be super motivating for him to play along side his mentor again. Plus, if the Bucks add a SF/SG in the draft how awesome would it be to have a hall of famer be your guide into the league

harshly judged

would love Ray Allen off the bench…..I think he had a bad wrap in Boston this year guys is 34 yet is shooting an efficient 47% fg, his 3 pt% is down this year but its hard when you keep bumping into Sheed out on the 3 point line!

become a handy defender for Boston, smart,knows where to go, and he wont kill you

by ILIKEBJ'S on Mar 17, 2010 10:24 AM CDT up reply actions  

I assume Ray would want to go to a title contender, but I’d be happy to see him in a Bucks uniform for one or two years at the MLE. If Salmons opts out of his deal this summer I’m not sure why Ray wouldn’t start for us.

by Frank Madden on Mar 17, 2010 5:17 PM CDT up reply actions  

this would be really cool if that was the case...

ray allen is such a good dude and i loved when he was here…. he is just such a likable player

not many...

Kobe was drafted by Charlotte, but never played there. If that situation is allowed, the list becomes longer. Here’s the list, kind of suprising, the amount…

Grossly telling sign about how bad the timberwolves are...

Their longest tenured player is Corey Brewer, 3 seasons, and didn’t really play last year.

Go Beer, I mean Bucks

oh wow

oh that is surprising, interesting to see how many of that list stay there, yeah I think if your traded before you play a game that should count…………haha it’s quite possible that if Rubio ever plays for Minnesota he could play his first game and still be the player with the longest tenure on the team ……………

I’d like quite a few of the timberwolves players if they werent on the timberwolves squad….

id suggest Kurt Rambis calls Jim Cleamons, the triangle offence is a waste of time if your not named Phil Jackson

by ILIKEBJ'S on Mar 17, 2010 1:02 PM CDT up reply actions  

I wish it weren't true

about the triangle O, it’s a great system, but it’s just not effective for anyone but the Zen-Master.

It had even been said before the season that Rambis liked Sessions because he had some experience with the Triangle, a whole lot of good that’s doing for the Ramon-ster. (what happened to that guy)

Go Beer, I mean Bucks

by Take Back Our Bucks on Mar 17, 2010 1:48 PM CDT up reply actions  

I watched the Suns-TWolves game last night and that team doesn't even run the triangle most times down...

they seem to just be playing 1v5 the entire time…
let’s also face the fact they just do not have much talent…

by Superelkman on Mar 17, 2010 1:51 PM CDT up reply actions  

bad to worse

you would think whatever you run you would get a look at your team and work out its strengths and weaknesses then implement your system to work around those………..rather than say im coming in with a set system and this is what we are going to run

you would have thought that after years of Kevin McHale in the GM role anyone would be better……well come on down mr Kahn

we’ll talent is a funny thing they make a solid enough move trading away Mike Miller & Randy Foye netting them draft pick 5 & 6 then you draft two point guards and one who is even likely to ever make it over now???? It’s just painful when you see what they could have had

hypothetically they could have had Kevin Love, Johnny Flynn, Steph Curry, Brewer as your core, yeah you suck this year but thats another high draft pick, the ability to trade maybe Jefferson for someone decent or stick with him suddenly with a bit of luck your looking alot more like another Oklahoma City rather than resembling an NDBL team………………

anyway I have very little sympathy after how they got rid of Dwayne Casey a pretty solid coach when he had them at what .500 20-20 If im right and they sacked him for Randy Whitman………..Randy Whitman honestly you cant script this stuff

if they mess up Rubio, which they may have already really this has to be a contender for the worst run franchise, the Joe Smith saga, trading away Brandon Roy ahhhh

by ILIKEBJ'S on Mar 17, 2010 2:32 PM CDT up reply actions  

Agree with BJ’S, it doesn’t seem like the triangle makes much sense given their personnel, though I’m also not sure how much they run it. Love is a good passer but you also need good wings to make the system work and that’s the Wolves’ biggest weakness. Otherwise you’ve got some talented PGs who don’t get used to their full advantage creating for teammates.

by Frank Madden on Mar 17, 2010 5:05 PM CDT up reply actions  

triangle has become obtuse

yes just seems like an awful lot of time wasted on trying to implement a system that we’ll I cant understand the benefits with such a young team……kiss principle apply with these guys keep it simple stupid….find it impossible to judge Johnny Flynn after this season, obviously compared to the others guys his impact has been minimal but who can say

yeah dont think they actually run it much at all anyone, looks more like a bloated semi circle

by ILIKEBJ'S on Mar 18, 2010 12:32 AM CDT up reply actions  

being traded on draft day doesn't count...

the teams usually pick the player for the other team in order to trade them…

unfortunately Sterling seems to revel in the infighting and general disgrace of a front office & team he owns, which makes it all the worse…..as Phil Jackson said that dude has some major karma issues ;)

all this analysis of poorly run teams, makes it all the more comforting when you have a good coach, a solid front office with it’s head screwed on properly and your 36-29 with some pretty good young talent, with loadsa room to improve

by ILIKEBJ'S on Mar 17, 2010 10:35 AM CDT reply actions  

Both fan bases have had to deal with years of Dunleavy coaching/GMing, so we should feel a certain kinship with our Clipper friends. Though at least the Clips had that one good season where they made the playoffs.

You just feel bad because their ownership situation is a double-whammy of ineptitude and scumminess. Say what you will about Kohl’s management of the team for much of the past 25 years, but at least he’s a good person. And it certainly seems like he’s learned his lesson from a micromanagement perspective and is now letting his GM/coach run the show.

by ILIKEBJ'S on Mar 17, 2010 12:56 PM CDT reply actions  

Other than a win...

what I would like to see most is for Bogut to assert himself against a true top tier center like Kaman. If Kaman isn’t really a top tier center, then I want to see Bogut expose him. In summary, I want Bogut to destroy Kaman. Is that too much to ask?

by Brick's house on Mar 17, 2010 4:05 PM CDT reply actions  

They haven't played each other that often.

Definitely an interesting matchup given Kaman’s probably the most similar big out there to Bogut in terms of game and overall talent.

Kaman missed both games last year and Bogut missed one of them as well. Two years ago Bogut outplayed Kaman in the Bucks’ win at Staples and then both guys struggled scoring but rebounded well when the Clips returned the favor at the BC. Kaman outplayed Bogut in their only matchup three years ago.

by Frank Madden on Mar 17, 2010 5:11 PM CDT up reply actions  

Kaman is able to hold his ground on Bogut a bit but really isn't anything more than a big body...

i think Baron is very overrated at this stage in his career… Jennings is surprisingly good at staying in front of his guy and giving good effort defensively…

Baron might be overrated overall, but he’s still capable of big nights and you know he’s going to shoot a lot.

Our PGs are probably the most hopeless transition defenders in the league. Jennings knows he’s too weak to stop anyone so he doesn’t even try…I suppose that’s preferable to what Ridnour just did.

he is making 2.5 million this year, so he might be out of Hammond’s price range, given that he is big on value

Always thought it would be a funny prank....

if the staff at the Staples Center put all of the Clippers shit on the court for a Lakers game. Preferrably a playoff game.

Bogut in foul trouble

I can’t remember the last time that happened

well...

we had to lose again eventually… atleast this can be used as a teaching tool and will re-humble and re-focus us again…

as poorly as i thought we played and as well as the clippers played we hung in there until the end….

Kudos to the Clippers

They were the better team tonight. The Bucks played with an unusual lack of purpose.

Mr.Roboto Boguto

ah there it is…………..great start to the day……………after all the press just asking for it
I think that take’s care of even the tiniest aspirations of 50 wins ;)

anyway might be just what we need a reality check……
