Matchup to Watch
Blake Griffin vs. Boris Diaw: You sure don't want to be posterized in a Griffin dunk the way Oklahoma City's Kendrick Perkins was recently. Griffin's ferocious approach to the game sets the bar these days.
Observations
With the trade to the Clippers, a team very much on the rise, this annual visit might be the closest that North Carolinian Chris Paul ever comes to playing in Charlotte.
This is the first of five games this season when the Bobcats wear throwback uniforms, honoring the ABA Carolina Cougars.
The Bobcats played the Bulls Friday night, but didn't have to travel. The Clippers played in Philadelphia.
Tap-ins
The Clippers recently lost Chauncey Billups to a torn Achilles tendon.
The Clippers signed veteran power forward Kenyon Martin for their playoff run.
Did you know?
The Clippers are on a six-game road trip that covers 6,929 air miles, according to the team.
