Break the Curse

Clippers (3-4) vs New Orleans Hornets (2-5)

Gameday Haiku
Almighty Chris Paul
dropping dimes to David West;
May I plead ’Mercy?"

First Look

I hate to be pessimistic but Clippers will have trouble without Eric Gordon.  Baron will have plenty of trouble with CP3, everyone does; Thornton starting and playing 40+ means is very unappealing.  David West had two mediocre games in a row so I will watch out for him to make it up tonight.  Plus he has the ability to draw Camby away from protecting the rim.

• Chris Paul is Godlike
  He is averaging 27 points a game this season but he is just not getting the support from his teammates.  He is also not getting the amount of steals we are used to seeing.  Not sure what is wrong there.
• Outstanding Okafor
  He's been quietly averaging 12p/11r/2b over 7 games.  This is a major upgrade from Tyson Chandler which makes it strange that the Hornets are playing so poorly.  He is a premier low post defender with the size to bother Kaman.
