LA can still get the 3 seed (with 2 wins + a Denver loss), the 4 seed with HCA (most likely), or 4th seed and no HCA (lose at least 1 game and Mem win)

I expect short rotations for the starters tonight.

I think Lionel has prioritized health and fresh legs over an unlikely home court advantage.

Looks very unlikely at this point after the Clips win over Portland.

Grizz close out strong with a win over Utah to end the regular season. Now if the Kings could just do us a favor and beat the Clips...

Agreed. When is Memphis' first game of the playoffs?

Playing the Clap again...

I'm expecting several disappointing late nights. I hate playing west coast teams.

One source of hope is the fact that the last two first round series that the Grizzlies have been in have been won by the road team.

That is hilarious. I think Memphis takes this series.

I'm pulling for you guys.

Frustrating 1st half for so many reasons.

1. # of offensive rebounds/2nd half points the Clips have gotten.

2. Conley was the 4th best pg in the game that first half.

3. Hubie Brown pointing out the CP3 off arm push off that he does. Now I can't stop watching it.



In watching this first half, it feels like the Clips should be up 10 to 15.

Floppers shot lights out tonight.

They also outrebounded and outworked the Grizz. Hopefully the Grizz can get that turned around and steal a win tonight.

Dear Memphis;
Please kindly beat the Clippers because I can't stand them. Thanks.

Yep. Cheapest player in the league. I bet he stays up nights figuring out what he can get away with and new ways to take advantage of the rules of the game.

CP360/Heliflopter

CP3 was also pissing me off and I'm not even a Grizz fan...I did have some money on the Grizz so that probably had something to do with it.

Tied after the first can't complain.

Sluggish second. Had the Clipper reeling with all the fouls and didn't take advantage.

Grizzlies might win this game, but the Clips are too good to win the series.


ALSO, this is my yearly post that Dick Stockton was a good NBA announcer, about 35 years ago. Guys over 70 should be doing baseball, college football on rare occasions, but never ever ever do NBA basketball. The only thing worse than doing a 70 year old man is to pair him with Chris Webber.

Crawford might shoot the Clips out of the game...hopefully.

Tony needs to make his free throws.

Ugh this doesn't look good.

This looks hopeless.

Why would state farm market the most fraudulent player in the league?

Down to the wire.

Guessing Chris Paul gets the shot and makes it.

Hate being right there

He knows they won't call a foul on him there so he creates separation by using his arm

Knew it was going to Paul.

Hate these late games

Should have doubled him farther away from the basket. 0-2 now.
