The Grizzlies have been playing very well since the return of Marc Gasol and acquisition of Courtney Lee. They always like to play us tough and get in the head of Blake Griffin. I'm sure both teams have something to prove given our recent playoff history. As of now I don't think he have another big other than Hollins. I don't expect this to be easy, but we can win this one. Plus we really need it since we couldn't beat the Spurs the other night.

Looks like you bullied Dudley...

[thanumba2clippersfan]

Honestly I forgot about Dudley, be we all know he's part of the bench

[okpistolpete]

Obviously a very important game for us, but I'm done saying any game is a "must-win" game. At this point they all are. We can't afford to lose to bad/average teams, and we need to show we can beat good teams. I'm still hungover from that Spurs loss - not because we didn't win, but because we didn't look like the determined, ultra-competitive squad that we appeared to be going into the break. If we can't get that back in Memphis of all places, then it's going to be hard for me to remain optimistic that we'll be able to tap into that again regularly in the future. Still, I'm hoping the Spurs game was just a case of poor recoveries from the all-star break: jordan, barnes, dudley in cabo...griffin and cp3 dealing with all-star weekend...etc.

No matter how we come out, we can be sure of one thing: the crowd is going to be loud and aggressive. Let's hope our players are as well.

Forgetting the Dud?

Really though, this is a huge game and these **** better come out firing. Namely Emmanuel Paul

Our first basket is a Griffin jumper

[og15]

Blake's last 30 games:

27.8 PPG, 9.4 RPG, 3.9 APG, 1.2 SPG, 2.7 TPG, 55.5% FG, .612 TS%, 121 Ortg, 35.7 MPG

So for more than half the season now, he's been a 28/9/4/60 TS player. If you go further back to 40 games, it is 26/9/4/60 TS

[thanumba2clippersfan]

High Arching 3 for Crawford goes in

[og15]

CP off so far

[og15]

Blake is basically saying "you can't guard me"

[Quake Griffin]

so the story of the 2nd half might be can we get CP on track.

damn.
prove me wrong chris.
start now

[Quake Griffin]

how was that a foul n Griffin?

I'm calling collusion by the league office whenever we play the Grizzlies.
foh

[og15]

Blake's jumpshot looks so smooth

[thanumba2clippersfan]

I'm wondering when Chris' shot will start to fall. I'm not sure that it will be anytime soon. I'm sure his shoulder is still bothering him.

[thanumba2clippersfan]

Wow what a play by Paul, lobs the ball to Blake so easy

[thanumba2clippersfan]

Chris finally makes something

[Quake Griffin]

Blake having an LBJ-like quarter.

LETS GO!

[thanumba2clippersfan]

Good to see us end the quarter pretty well. Blake has had a great quarter with 15 points, and good to see CP3 get some buckets. We're up 27-21.

[thanumba2clippersfan]

Collison gets fouled while shooting a 3. I'd like to see him knock down all his free throws
