Clips delivering a 30-point beatdown to the New Yorkers at the half.

On to Philadelphia...

DJ is just nasty.

Ranma · Post #10 » by **Ranma** » Thu Mar 26, 2015 12:21 am

Ha ha...I'm watching the game in-between work and hear Ralph reminding us that Griffin's two aggressive dunk attempts on Jason Smith are payback shots for Smith's hard foul on Blake during his days with New Orleans. BG apparently misses both, but DJ comes right back and gets Jason Smith on Blake's behalf.

I've been taking care of things at home and I finally checked the score. I never thought we'd be up 30 at the half. I know the Knicks are pretty much playing to lose, let's just take care of business in the 2nd half.

We lead 90-54 at the end of the 3rd quarter. We just need to make it through one more quarter. I honestly didn't expect a blowout this huge.

Junior Rivers comes up hobbling at the timeout.

Pelicans are currently up by 8 on the Rockets, but there is a lot of time left in that game.

If the Pelicans hold on, we'll be a 1/2 game back (1 in the loss column) of the 3rd seed.

Looks like Austin is going to be our top scorer tonight

The Clippers will be a top 4 seed in the West by season's end?
