Questions?
Hey,
Since the Clippers are out of town this week, I figured I'd open the floor up for some questions. Try and have them in by Friday afternoon, though I'll try and answer them as they come in.
I noticed someone asked about Kaman's return date...
Last time I asked Mike Dunleavy about it, he said Kaman would likely be out until Christmas. The Clips play Dec. 22 vs. Toronto, then have a long break until Dallas comes to town on December 28. The Clippers will take the 23-25 off, then reconvene the afternoon of the 26th, meaning all the guys will have a chance to go home for Xmas, though most likely they'd have to fly home the night of the 25th to be back in town for practice on the 26th.
All that said, my guess would be the soonest Kaman would be back is the game on the 28th, though it could be the 30th in Sacramento or the 31st against Philadelphia back at Staples. I can't see him rushing back for the game on the 22nd when there is a six-day break after that. It would be a much better idea to sit out the 22nd and use the extra week to heal.
What is Baron's relationship like with Dunleavy? Does Baron respect him? Do they have a friendly relationship like Dunleavy seemed to have with Cassell?
when is ricky davis coming back ?
Have the Clippers talked to Jason Williams at all ?
Is Baron Davis secretly injured ? hes shooting so horribly.
also, do the Clippers have any plans to get a bench of sorts ?
Are the Clippers going to have a look at Antoine Walker now that he has been cut loose from the Grizzlies?
Missed you lately.
Is there any talk around the team about shoring up the bench. I know that we are waiting for two injuries to recover that will put two more players on the 2nd unit, but does that even make it a barely adequate bench? Camby will only add 10 points to the bench and Ricky has been a horrible offensive player. We're averaging 6 points from the bench lately and the starters all played 50 minutes last night. I don't know how they can be expected to play back-to-backs. We need another scorer on our bench to compete.
Why don't The Clippers use the pick and roll more often?
