This is not about revenge or punishment. Leave the emotions out of it. This is about the Grizz needing to get back to what helps them win games. The Grizz have to do a better job boxing out for rebounds and get their offense off to a strong start. They played against the Clippers numerous of times to know their strengths and weaknesses. Attack their weaknesses: Force Griff and DJ into shooters. Give them no chance to visit Lob City. No more help defenses. Play fierce man to man defense on the shooters. Trust each other on offense. You have the weapons necessary to spread out the offense. Make the Clips understand that in order to beat the Grizz, they have to fight thru hell for it. Time to get even tonight and make a series out of this war.

Good Luck Grizz!!

So far, we are looking fairly good, but we need to dominate on the glass.

Blake Griffin is playing well early, drawing fouls and taking it to Randolph. We need better backline help D.

Blake griffin has to be stopped. Wow. Love our effort. Grizz look awesome. Need to keep Fighting

When Ryan Hollins is we need to bring in leuer or Willie. No reason to waste gasol. Arthur is not the first guy I'd sub

So far, this game is tight. Just need to stop that run the Clips are on right now.

I don't like the way that we are playing for the most part though. We hit a lot of jumpers early, but that is not going to continue. The Clips are getting easy iso baskets at times and scoring in transition. We need to lock down the glass.

Gotta make those FTs. Bad foul by Dooling.

Ed Davis showing he doesn't belong. SMH

JB on it. The rest of the bench need to come with it.

No surprise. He's not ready. I'd much rather have Arthur in.

The bench is playing scared and making crucial mistakes. Need to get their heads together.

MC11 got aggressive and drove it in. And pops in a 3ball.

Bayless has no chance against Crawford. If I'm Hollins i'm putting Allen, Prince, or Pondexter on him the rest of the way.

We need to have our starters in to sustain the hurting coming from the Clippers' bench. (which is why it's going to be incredibly hard facing an energized Clippers starting rotation) I hate the rotations right now. We need DA or Ed Davis in with one of Randolph or Gasol.

And I'm making Crawford go left... I never see him get any buckets going to his left.

Jamal Crawford can't be stopped even with Bayless in his face.

STOP MISSING FTS"!!!!!

Randolph has missed 2 FTs, Marc 1 and now Conley 1. (I think Prince 1) Do we want to win?
