Memphis Grizzlies

No injuries to report.

This game is a key 'litmus test' for the Clippers.

Was it the injuries, or are we just really that bad this year?

All I dare to hope for, really, is some ball movement and evidence of team play, and some show of commitment, maybe by way of playing with energy, if not hustle, for some part of the game. I'd like a good quarter somewhere where, without feeling like a total idiot, I can be feeling: Go Clippers!
I really hope this isn't too much to ask.
My expectations have never been outrageously high, but I keep having to adjust them anyway.

They have a really nice group of young players. I'm pretty jealous. All they need is a good coach and a little time.

I don't think we'll win this game. But yeah, go clips.

The Grizz find themselves on a 2 game win streak after losing 12 games. Some signs of improvement are showing for them as they appear to be more dedicated to uptempo game and better defensive plays. They still have ways to go before they can even be consider a good team. Best of luck and may the best team win.

Hey, I don't see you on these boards that much anymore, have you jumped off the Clippers' (small) bandwagon?

Nah. I'm still on the wagon. Unfortunately it's been a dreadful season for the Clips. The fans here are saying what I'm thinking about how the season has gone to this point. Too many injuries, lack of consistancy, coaching style not matching the current core of players here, and more. Change needs to come for the Clippers. What is going on right now is not working worth a damn.

Here's a look into the Grizz game thread.

I hope this game turns out better for the Clippers than the blow out we had earlier in the season. I have to say right now this is our worst stretch of basketball this season. At least during our 13 game losing streak, or what ever it was, we were trying and we had a number of close games. Our last couple of losses have all been blowouts.

I don't blame you. It's hard to post when there's no motivation. I have a Clipper blog that I rarely post on because, well, there's nothing to talk about.

Yeah, they've got a really nice group of young players and if they could add another low post player/scorer(like Blake Griffin) they could be really solid for years to come.

BTW: That Gordon vs. Mayo matchup should be nice to watch, as long as Baron allowes Eric some touches.

It really is tough. I've been less active on the board, and I don't really watch many games now. I just mainly keep up with box scores. Not really sure if I'll watch this game on stream either. Just got my psp homebrew'd and I'm gonna play me some crisis core.

I have missed the last couple of games and have been disappointed after looking at the boxscores and reading the threads. Oddly enough I'm looking forward (for now) to actually being able to see the game tonight.

This game is huge for the Clipps.

that was a sick dunk by al thornton!

Nice play by Thornton who finishes with the baseline jam.

4 team fouls on the Grizz in with 8:35 to go in the quarter. Zach makes them pick up their 5th and finishes the 3 point play at the line. We have to attack the basket.

Conley just set up Mayo for a sick alley oop.

Anyone found an online stream yet?

this is how clippers should be playing!
