This will be a very tough game. We have to come out strong and aggressive.

We need to be aggressive and also be very physical. We've seen in the past Blake likes to bully guys but doesn't like it when guys push back.

Kieff has had a couple of good games playing against Griffin. Let's hope he turns a corner in this game and plays with some energy.

My guess is Chandler will have his cranky pants on for this one and gets ejected.

If yesterday was anything to go by, there is going to be bucketloads of trash talk and niggle in it.

Also, DeAndre Jordan is just a beast defensively in the paint. Does anyone know how Tyson does when he goes head to head against Jordan? I think Tyson might be one of the few C's in the league who can play him to a draw.

Time to pretend to be Clippers fans on twitter and tell Markieff how badly Griffin will school him.....get him motivated. Alright, I'm not going to do that, but I have no objections if anyone else does.

On offense? Neither players are very good offensively but DJ will get set up much better by CP3. Defensively I think it should be comfortably in DJ's courts. Chandler has the experience advantage but at his age, DJ's athletic advantages and 7 years experience it should be in DJ's favor

Why do you always put an X for Chandler?

What x? I believe this was the second time you mentioned it.

Griffin less than 20 points we win.

He scored 45 against us last season and finger blasted us.

For me, it's the second time that the Chandler image doesn't show up on the screen.

Speaking of Chandler, dude has to stop the moving screens.

Well I'm not sure how to fix it considering his picture shows up on both my laptop and and Android.

Defensively I think we'll be fine. We need to get our shooters start nailing their shots, namely Tucker, Weems. I really hope we play Booker. We also need to start nailing our pick and roll game.

I think this team's success will depend on the backcourt. This game, and all others

I don't expect a win for this game. Their bench is as good as our bench, maybe even better. I also don't know how we will stop Griffin.

Blackification · Post #17 » by **Blackification** » Mon Nov 2, 2015 6:56 am

We usually play decent to well against them but get overwhelmed with the talent of Griffin and CP3. I would welcome a different outcome but don't expect one. I just want us to play better towards the end of games than we did last year. We gave a lot of games away last year.

Well, the URL had some code in it which may not be recognizable by some browsers. Try just to directly link to the .jpg. And secondly, the image may have been to big so the [img] tags didn't like it.

This is the first game against a serious playoff team. Not a contender in my opinion, but probably they are a Top 5 team in the NBA anyway.

Blake Griffin is averaging 32 points per game and they have won all their games so far. If we win this one I would be pleasantly surprised.

Well, Kieff has flaws, but letting someone bully him is not one of them. It might just motivate him a little.
