Chris Paul likely to miss game today vs. MEM and tomorrow against Houston.
Even without the leagues MVP, this team is dangerous, they're too deep.
Strong in the half court and even without Paul they will probably dictate tempo...
Luckily they have a dumb ass for a coach who makes bad rotations and with out their floor general out we got a good chance.
Keys to the game:
Griffin has a variety of spin moves, left or right, it dont matter. Morris/Patterson has go to push him out toward the perimeter.
On offense I hope we keep our PF's closer to the paint, make Griffin defend down there... if not and our PF's are at the perimeter, makes it so much easier for Griffin to get out and run.
Harden will probably see the "Jordan Rules" again
We need two of Delfino, Douglas, Lin, Morris or Patterson to have a good shooting night... just two thats all we need damnit, is that too much to ask for? Someone besides Parsons gotta help Harden out.
Asik has got to command the paint, he cant have trouble with these active bigs (Lopez, Sacre).
Teams with freak athletes give us problems, our only chance is that we shoot lights out and put them in foul trouble, get to the line.
What to watch for:
Lin's job... If I were Lin I would wrap the hell out of the bad ankle and play on it. This is the Rockets where once our starting PG misses a game or two the back up comes in and takes their job.
Beverley is it your turn?J-Crossover who ever guards him hopefully not Lin, cause he ankle is already messed up is bout to get done up.
I'm looking at you Harden!
UH-OH!
Just wanna see the mistakes lowered, don't care if this is a loss... just less mistakes please.
