I'll be on the 5 heading up to the bay area during this game, but I'll be rooting from the backseat of the car.

Will be interesting to see what adjustments Doc makes this game. Hopefully he's smart and plays Hamilton today.
Our reserves and starting PF/SF need to step up for us to have a realistic shot at winning.

It might be appropriate to start Davis and move Hawes to the bench.

In Blake's absence Hawes has averaged

9.0 ppg / 3.4 rpg / 1.3 apg / 1.1 bpg / 1.6 tpg / 40.3% FG / 25.0% 3PT / .468 TS%

He's either due for a good game or it is time to go a different direction. I don't know if Hawes was helping much in spacing vs Memphis, he got some good looks like he has been, just missed them. Davis would bring some nice defensive intensity.

I wouldn't even object attempting to go small ball with the bench. Doc really has not attempted enough lineups.

Maybe some sort of:

Austin / Crawford / Hamilton / Hedo / Udoh lineup against Memphis bench. I know I didn't include Hawes, but I'm thinking with a lineup like that Udoh's rim protection and shot blocking is what you would prefer. It won't happen though, one of Doc's weaknesses is the lack of imagination with lineups.

The other day we saw Davis knocking down 17ft jump shots. I don't think we utilize the pick n pop enough.

I'm more concerned that Hawes refuses to take open shots than what % he is actually shooting. So many times he ruins the ball movement by pump faking and then just standing there.

I wouldn't mind seeing Hamilton play some 2-guard to limit Courtney Lee.

I also like seeing Hedo play some backup SF purely for his height and rebounding advantage. We need to beat Memphis on the boards.

I'm hoping for a better result this evening and we've had a tough month. Even if we win we won't have a winning month, so hopefully we can end February on a good note. (It won't be easy though)

CP will be the last starter to score. Hopefully that's a good sign.

I see that Hawes got a T, what did he do?

Wear a Clipper jersey.

He was "demonstrative" after picking up his second foul.

Low scoring first quarter, basically how Memphis wants it

Rivers is having his worst game of the season. Terrible decisions. I can live with the poor offense but he is getting very lost on defense.

Not bad to be tied at the half, now just gotta win two more quarters, going to be a hard task to accomplish
