Well, so far, the Clippers have accomplished the goal of winning at least one game in Memphis. If the Clippers want to really win this series, they have to play their hearts out in the next two games at home and win both of them. Heading back to Memphis 2-2 if exactly what the Grizzlies want. Hopefully, Mo, Eric, Young, and Caron will all be back and healthy since they are all essential keys to the team. LET'S GO OUT THERE AND WIN THIS GAME!!!!

Anybody going to the game needs to represent. Get loud and leave your voices in the arena!

I'm hoping that all of our guys are good to go including Butler. We need to protect home court. The role players and the youngin's ought to play better in front of the home crowd. Let's get it!

Have a group of friends going saying they going to paint their faces blue...

Hopefully this can be the game that gets Foye going...if he can hit 4 to 6 from range, and the Clippers fix their mistakes (all of which were fixable), they should keep home court.

"Caron Butler shooting pregame. He is wearing a pad on his fractured left hand."

Let's see how that works out.

LATimes says Butler will start:

Caron Butler will be in the starting lineup Saturday for the Clippers in Game 3 of the playoffs against the Memphis Grizzlies at Staples Center despite a fractured left hand, said sources who were not authorized to speak publicly on the situation.
