The whole game I was wondering to myself, "who the fyck is #5 on the clippers" and now I realize it is Caron Butler. He hasn't done a single thing the entire game to make the announcers say his name.

OK. Think I'll go wash my hair or something.

Nice chattin' with all! Nice comeback for the 'Wolves. Appears to be in the bag - with Rubio and Love on the pine! Good morale builder for the second 5.

Next time!

Between Beasley, D-Charge, and Darko's D, I am speechless.

Well I was pulling my hair out in the first half but that BOY DERRICK WILLIAMS SHOWED UP!!!!!! Wow, what a performance from the Wolves bench...Hopefully K Love is ok because obviously we're not going to shoot like that much.. Probably not tomorrow lol

Very nice and about time!

Looks like it was a great win! Wow nice coming back strong in the 4th quarter to win.

Beasley and D-Will... they must have done some work. Great win, now we got two tough games coming up (since they are back to back to back.)

Only half a game back from the 8th playoff spot now too!

that was a fun game. the 4pt play by williams was nice. didn't know he had that in his game. dribble right, crossover between the legs back to the left, pull up three, swish, and gets foul.

I feel I saw a lot of perimiter skills from Williams this game that could easily transfer over to the 3 spot if he slims down over the offseason and learns how to be both consistent and defend.

For real? I only caught the 1st half but my impression was that it was the worst effort I'd seen from him, maybe ever.

That would be why. Fantastic effort in the 4th. He shut down Blake completely, holding him to 1 point in the quarter after he was dominant through 3 quarters. I really wish Darko would embrace the role of a defensive role player. He could make another well-deserved/earned $20-$30 million in the NBA if he would.

I would do it.

Great win. This team continues to surprise and delight.

Beasley is hit or miss of course, but he is not a guy you trade for a draft pick and/or cash. Just don't do it. We need guys like him who have the ability to step up when Lorubiovic are having off nights or need rest. It's guys like him that are the x-factor and generate unexpected wins. With a trade exception and future pick on the balance sheet instead of Beasley, the Clippers take this game. D Will alone wasn't enough (although he was a stud like last night, good to see a game that says: 'that's why he was the #2 pick.' We never have seen something like that from Johnson or Flynn when he was here, even when he was starting.)

Agred, Wallly… if anything, it was a breakout game that did a lot of work toward validating his selection at no. 2 overall. His ability to handle the ball and get his own shot was pretty impressive. I hope he can morph his mindset and defensive skill set into that of a typical NBA small forward. The offense is seemingly there… a lot of what he was doing seemed to be second nature, rather than wild and forced.

Yea, he did his work against dudes like Kenyon Martin who just couldn't stay with him. Against wing players he doesn't blow past them or get the separation on jump shots, yet he also has shown that he's terrible in the post on little dudes. But you're right, these things can be worked on in the offseason...while he trains with New Orleans after he's traded for Eric Gordon!
