Can't overlook them. They have played many games this year without Ja and Smart. It is a quick turnaround from lat night to tomorrow with travel. Can't be caught looking ahead to Minny.

Vegas frightened due to Grizz walking wounded list - no odds posted.

Clips by 15 in Kelphus' tiptop sports book.

I'm always more nervous when our opponents are missing several key players, but still have enough talent to give us trouble. Hopefully that embarrassing home loss to the Grizzlies in similar circumstances is still fresh in everyone's memories.

Oh for sure. Really want a top 3 seed so we have to beat teams like the Grizz when they show up on the schedule. West this season has sleeping giants in the play in like the Suns and Lakers who look like a trade away from messing up seedings. Pels are also playing very well right now, so gotta win the ones we’re expected to. Dallas with Luka and Kyrie with a trade to make them better will also go on a run. I think the only one left out is GS, who has much bigger problems than the above (maybe the Suns if they can’t put it together).

Memphis should really be tanking at this point. But, the Clippers need to make sure they don't look past this game since they have the T-Wolves and the Thunder up next.

to me there's a good bit of irony that the grizzlies have been a problem child for this team's seeding and playoff aspirations since the VDN days. and despite fielding what is almost certainly the best team this organization has ever put together, that's still the case even though the grizz are currently a shell of a team lol.

maybe it's in the bbq

just double team Bane at every possession and we should win.

Yup, Gilbert Arenas said the same thing on his podcast. Grizz shut down Ja for the season (and maybe other players too), get a top draft pick to pair with him when he gets back, and they might pick up right back where they left off.

I predict a competitive game up until the end of the 3rd, then the Clips win in comfortable fashion.

Do you think we'll ever "need" to know if all 3 of Zu, Theis and Plumlee can be effective in a rotation all together... with Theis playing more as a PF? (the role we might have assumed PJ Tucker would fill)

it'll go unnoticed in the box score, but that 3 shot attempt (which ended up being a 3 AND1!!) was such a gamer move by harden.

clips took a lead after memphis was up for the entire first, and jaren jackson took a semi-desperate/frustration 3 to tie it up - and a timely 3 off of jackson's miss is the kind that can kill dreams

so instead? 4 point play lol

Coffey keeps elbowing his way into minutes. 7 points, plus+12, Clippers go up by 10.

defensive rotations have been pretty rough with the starters. team likely coulda been up way more but hot 3 point shooting has kept us ahead. can't say i'd be pleased if i were ty lue.
