21 point blowout win. We need to carry the momentum over to game 2 and go up 2-0.

see u monday.

Goodnight Matt.

I had a feeling that we would win by double digits tonight coming into the game, but had no idea it would be by 21. Great start, but we have to build on it.

7 players in double figures, 47 (14 offensive boards) rebounds to their 23. 0 turnovers in the 4th quarter. Only 20 assists on our 41 FG's, some of that is from putbacks and tip ins, so it wasn't all iso's. The team can't get too high, just have to bring it again Monday night.

Settle down Angel Strike *Ralph Lawler voice*

Big time win got to focus on beating them in game two. I think Blake will play it safe these two home games and kick it up on the road and play all out.

Gotta take game 2 and pressure is off going to Memphis. Two games to get one win, should be fun

Memphis is saying the same thing though. Gotta try to get game 2 then protect home court.

Most folks thought I'd be jealous of the @LAClippers success. Why? There's NO room for jealousy, only PRIDE. Awesome job, fellas!

Despite only ONE dunk, Clippers beat Grizzlies, 112-91. Chris Paul finished with 23 points as the bench contributed 49 points. #NBAPlayoffs

Clippers only had one dunk. CP3 said he didn't feel like dunking. Blake said he just felt like fouling.

Chris Paul is asked about bench production. "We're used to this."

Remarkable that Clippers scored 112 and shot 55 per cent against the Grizzlies, who had the best defensive record this season

CLIPPER FANS SET PLAYOFF TONE WELL BEFORE TIPOFF

“It’s exciting; there’s nothing like it,” said superstar point guard Chris Paul. “It’s really two different seasons; the regular season and it’s the playoffs. When we ran out for warm ups tonight, it means a lot when the fans are here early. When we run out for warm ups and you see them up and they’re excited.

"We have a different type of crowd here. They have fun and they’re excited all game long and when they see us play hard and the way that we know we can they really are our sixth man and we need them in order to do what we want to do.”

“It was unbelievable,” Clippers shooting guard Jamal Crawford said. “[The crowd] set the tone for us, even when we ran out they were lively and they were into it and that’s why we won home court [advantage].”

GAME 1 WIN!

great news, followed it all day off my phone. CP3 was huge, but Bledsoe seemed to be in beast mode. Love that guy.

Gotta settle down and go to game 2 though. I like CP3's and Blake's humour (despite Blake having a pretty bad game from what it looks like) in there after game comments on only having one dunk.

Team needs rest bigs did not have big scoring game but all of them played tough and scrapped.

[azncorruptedo17]

was at the game last night, the atmosphere was AMAZING!!! this is gonna be a great run if we can keep it up!

[og15]

Team needs rest bigs did not have big scoring game but all of them played tough and scrapped.

Blake worked very hard boxing out. They were obviously informed about Randolph's 8 offensive rebounds per game during the regular season against LAC. Randolph had 0 last night. Now, that won't happen again, neither will killing Memphis on the glass by so much, but a combined 17 pts from Blake/DJ/Odom also won't be a common occurrence.
