Robinson Tries to Keep Head Up

Guard James Robinson hopes fans haven’t given up on the Clippers, who have lost nine of their last 11 games.

“I think people have given up on us and the guys have given up on themselves a little bit,” Robinson said. “But we don’t want people to feel sorry for us.”

Robinson said he has never been on a team that performed this poorly.

“It’s different,” Robinson said. “We’re not even at .500. It’s frustrating, but it’s a new experience for me and it’s just going to make me a better person.”

Guard Brent Barry didn’t dress for the second consecutive game because of a sore left heel.

Barry, who hopes to play in tonight’s game at San Antonio, was fitted with an special shoe insert to relieve the pain before the Rocket game.
