Qs Quote:
An early tip off has Lob City hosting Grind City, as the Clippers look to continue their solid start over a battered Grizzlies side. Injured or not, Memphis is not a side to be taken lightly as Fizdale has done a spectacular job in keeping the side competitive. Clippers are still waiting for Gallinari to get going, and this is as good a chance as any to do so.

Q's Preview



Q's Prediction:
Clippers Win 108-99
Q's Prediction Record (vs Spread): 5-2 (6-1)

If DJ is just going to pout and not try because the extension talks stalled, he needs to take a seat on the bench. God, I hope a desperate team like the Cavs bails us out of overpaying for this guy yet again with a trade.

First offensive set they post Gallo up. Gallo spins and dunks. Gallo only gets around 4 more chances all half. I wish they would start posting up Gallo more.

Blake has played really well this season but after Blake I think they should start milking Gallo.

I agree that DJ can play better. He started the season on a crazy rebounding roll but the blocks were not as high as expected.

Austin can score but as a PG can he make plays for his other guys enough?
My eyes glaze over when reading alternative stat (not advanced stat) narratives that go many paragraphs long. If you can not make your point in 2 paragraphs it may not be a great point. :D

At 6', Pat Bev is more the 1

problem is they're both combo guards [translation: not good enough to handle the point]

I couldn't find a way to watch this game. Just kept up with the score and saw we were down for most of the game.
I've been an LA Clipper fan since 1998 and that will never change. I hate our new logo and jerseys!

forget the rest
actually they were still scrappy, din't quit

but you can't win in this league shooting 4-26 on 3s

Pat 1-8
Gallo 0-4
Lou 1-5
Austin 1-4

Gallo is so MIA
10 points, a team-worst -12
last year we had no third option
this year we don't even have a second

still a decent showing. we need Milos back to balance out the guard situation tho.


Im still recovering from the WS game 7, still not into the basketball mode yet. but watched this one. Blake is growing into a star and taking that role of being #1 option. win or lose, this is a good transformation/growing pains.
ehhhhh f it.

So much this.

October playoffs really kick your ass, especially when you have a deep run like we had.
