Clippers report: Getting inside

The Clippers need only to review the horror clip, disguised as the game tape of Game 3, to formulate their game plan for Saturday's Game 4 at Pepsi Center against the Denver Nuggets.

Once the Clippers start making a concerted effort to box out on the boards and make better decisions with the basketball, the momentum of this first-round series should swing decisively back their way.

Playing desperately, because it was a dire situation, the Nuggets overcame their shooting woes -- both from the field and from the free-throw line. The Clippers are allowing too many points in the paint by the Nuggets, far too many second-chance baskets, and for the first time in the series Denver was able to get its transition game rolling.

Whether or not he still is hampered by a groin strain, Clippers forward Vladimir Radmanovic is a liability on the defensive end right now, and when he is not making the opposing defense pay by making three-pointers -- he was 1 of 4 on Thursday -- Radmanovic's contributions are small.

REPLAY
No team in NBA playoff history ever has come back after losing the first three games in a series. The Clippers squandered a chance to put the Denver Nuggets in that hole Thursday, committing 25 turnovers in a 94-87 loss at Pepsi Center.

The Clippers played superb defense for the third straight game but wasted that effort through their carelessness and another shoddy effort on the boards. After leading the NBA in defensive rebounding during the regular season, the Clippers have allowed the Nuggets to grab 42 offensive rebounds in the three playoff games so far.

Denver won despite shooting 37.8 from the field and whiffing on 11 three-point field-goal tries.

Until Mike Dunleavy no longer is the coach of this team!!!

Too much talent to keep losing. The Hornets game was an absolute disaster. Sure, they shot lights out in the 1st quarter, but they were getting wide open 3s. The Hornets lose to good teams by 20, then c

Just an early season observation. No disrespect to Chris Kaman because he has simply been "the man" so far for the 0-4 Clips, but when he is a team's go-to guy, that's not a good omen. So far this season I have seen the ball dumped into Kaman way too often...he's been spectacular so far, especially with a much-improved ...(more)

Hey guys, I'm not sure if the Clipper fans of CBS knew, but I'm the Clipper team blogger. I hope you guys have time to check out my week 1&2, and 3 blogs for this season, comment on it, and give me some input. I also keep an injury report updated, and I'm linking that in my blogs for this season.


Now, you may not like that I am a die hard Laker fan, but I do love my city, a

I hope that this Blake Griffin injury is the exception and not the rule this year. I will say that the Clippers did a tremendous job in gaining some much needed depth in the offseason. Having Craig Smit ...(more)

The Clippers could try to trade Baron Davis and his big salary (four seasons, $50 million) this summer, as well as one of their three big men.

If the Clips were to move Davis (who could even end up back in Golden State), it would open the door for them to possib

Jason Williams may be set to make a comeback from a one-year retirement after the Clippers formally waived their exclusive rights to negotiate with him on Thursday.

Once Williams clears waivers in seven days, he'll become a free agent and free to sign with any team. While it's doubtful that Williams will have any fantasy value,
