Hopefully it won't be a blowout for them. Let's focus on keeping our players healthy. I've accepted the loss already

Everybody afraid of this game, assuming a loss. I'll hope for a surprise.

Tonight LenSunity happens

I'm surprised we're a slight favourite over the Griz considering the record they've held over us the last few seasons and the strong start they've had so far this season.

Need a great game from Dragic and Bledsoe tonight!! Both have looked up and down so far this season and it would be great to see them break out tonight.

We likely lose. Memphis is red hot and we're on the 2nd of a B2B.

Everybody will bitch about how crucial spacing is to winning after the game, which will be very ironic considering that the Grizz are a crap outside shooting team :lol:

Like Harshey said we need a great game from both of our guards and also from Plumlee. I don't have to worry about Thomas/Green stepping up but if we want to win our starters need to finally step up otherwise we lose by 8+ tonight.

They also have the two best starting big men front court in the league and elite defenders in 3 positions. :roll:

But they don't have a stretch 4 or shooters! Therefore, they automatically suck!!

On a technical note, Griffin/Deandre or Noah/P.Gasol > Marc/Z-Bo, and Horford/Millsap is on the same level

The only duo I would take over Gasol/Z-Bo is Noah/Gasol because of their passing. I honestly don't think Griff/Deandre would be nearly as good if it wasn't for CP3 running the show.

Yeah, all those lobs Griffin/Jordan receive are from CP3 and without him Jordan would be useless on offense but Griffin can still get his points.

Griffin and Deandre still beasted while CP3 was injured last year. Blake was a monster and played even better over that stretch actually

Post #13 » by **lilfishi22** » Wed Nov 5, 2014 11:09 pm

Clips had a fairly easy run when CP3 was out. They were 12-7 with CP3 out and the only good teams they beat were Dallas, Chicago and Toronto. Chicago and Toronto were middling East teams at that point. Not to mention they were playing at home throughout the entire stretch.

That has nothing to do with how good Griffin/Jordan are without Chris Paul.

CP3 is the best PG in the NBA, of course the Clippers team isn't gonna win as many games without him

Just shows Griff/Jordan lean more heavily on CP3 than ZBo/Marc on anyone else on their team.

Maybe time to use Zoki tonight. Earn more money than Plumlee, but do nothing.

Would be nice to see PLumlee/Morris/Morris/Dragic/Dragic playing alongside. Imagine the chemistry on the court.

That only works against the Lakers. Hurry another quote so we can beat the Grizzlies.
