Game 61: Clippers (40-20) vs. Hawks (34-28)

[Wammy Giveaway]

From Mike Smith off the Clippers telecast: in games where the Clippers scored 37 points in the 1st quarter this season, all games were losses.

The losses:
1. Tonight vs. ATL:

Code: Select all

ATL: 25|25|30|27
LAC: 37|18|24|18

2. Game 53 vs. BOS:

Code: Select all

LAC:37|27|27|31|12
BOS:33|38|27|24|17

Supposedly, there was one more game where the Clippers scored 37 PTS in a quarter, but I can't find it. If anyone can post it here, it'd be much appreciated.

Anyway, Clippers must avoid scoring exactly 37 PTS in a quarter, otherwise, it's an automatic loss.

It was '37 points or more' and that other game is when we played GSW.

Every time I would look at the score our lead was going down. Until there was about 2 minutes left and we trailed by 10. I was hoping that we'd beat the Hawks, but I guess not. Not sure when Blake is coming back but we've been average lately. Hopefully there is enough time for him to come back and be in game shape for the playoffs.

I think the Clippers should say he is ready this coming week whether he really is or not so that he can start serving the four game suspension.

NBA already said they are going to keep an extremely close eye on the situation in case of any improprieties. they can't cheat it even if they wanted to. and they shouldn't.

Also think about this: if the Clippers tried to activate Griffin so that he can get just a regular season game in, the NBA could impose a sanction. Clippers have already been fined $250,000 for offering DeAndre Jordan a side deal as compensation for a lower deal (Dan Fegan and Mark Cuban ratted out on the Clippers after they stole Jordan away from the Mavericks, so this was just petty revenge on their part).

I don't know if this is possible, but maybe the NBA could impose a forfeit. In other words, the Clippers could actually lose a game for rigging the system, but I've never seen it happen before.

After Blake returns, Doc should rest CP vs Minnesotta on March 30th. They play OKC on the second night of a back to back on March 31st. Then he should rest him from April 1st to April 8th.

Clippers play:
Washington April 3rd
LA Lakers April 5th
@LA Lakers April 6th

Just send him home, go rest. Then the next game is @Utah April 8th. I know it won't happen, but that would be a solid week off.

he needs to take few games off (3rd or 4th even doesnt really matter)

but issue is he needs to play after blake gets back and closer to playoffs. so they can jell and be ready
