Cuttino Mobley has been in a shooting slump as he’s only hit 34% from the floor in his last 5 games. The Clippers need him to play much better than he is if they are going to make a return trip to the playoffs this season. In his last 5 games, Mobley is averaging only 11.0 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2.2 assists.

Shaun Livingston had his chance to be the starting point guard for the Clippers but the offense struggled under his direction. He still is a very talented player that will play alot of minutes off the bench, but the team needed a move to jump start the rest of the season and Sam Cassell will probably give them that. Cassell is averaging 14.6 points, 2.9 rebounds and 5.4 assists and he will improve on those numbers as a starter. Livingston averaged 9.6 points, 3.4 rebounds and 5.6 assists per game. So he didn’t play poorly but he also didn’t excel the way may thought he would when inserted in the starting lineup. But he has time on his side as he’s still very young. But the Clippers time is now, thus the move back to Cassell.

The Clippers hit 51.1% of their shots from the floor and outscored the Grizzlies 63-40 in the second half on their way to victory. Elton Brand had a great game with 34 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists. Sam Cassell also had a good game running the offense with 21 points, 3 rebounds and 14 assists.

The Clippers improved to 19-21 on the season with this win. http://scores.espn.go.com/nba/boxscore?gameId=270120012

The Clippers really stuck it to the Warriors who were only playing with 8 players by pushing the pace and that’s why they won this game. Elton Brand had a monster game with 27 points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 5 blocked shots. Quinton Ross also had a stat sheet stuffer with 24 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals and 3 blocked shots. Sam Cassell had an awesome game running the offense with 23 points, 4 rebounds and 13 assists. Cuttino Mobley also had a solid game with 20 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists.

The Clippers improved to 18-21 on the season with this win. http://scores.espn.go.com/nba/boxscore?gameId=270117012

The Clippers need Thomas to play better off the bench to support Corey Maggette and Quinton Ross. Thomas has played in 36 games and has averaged 26.2 minutes, 9.9 points, 4.7 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game this season. Thomas has only hit 40.8% from the floor, but he is the best long range shooter on the team. Thomas has hit 35.8% of his three-pointers and has made 71 more of them than any other Clippers player.
