...they're still one of the softest teams in the league.

I would agree with that. I think LA wins the series though.

Strangely enough I'm rooting for Memphis. I think OKC matches up better against LA, but I just like Memphis better.

I hope I'm wrong, and the Grizz comeback tonight. The Bigs need to step up!

Not arguing, but they best Memphis last year, and beat them in the season series this year. They just seem to have their number.

Clips have won 8 of last 12 against the Griz. Zach isn't what he was 2 years ago. Gasol is a stud on both ends, but that's not enough. Paul plays Conley really physical, and it really takes him out of his game. Then Memphis' bench is mediocre, and Crawford tends to get loose with only Bayless typically guarding him. As Okc said, it's a bad matchup for Memphis. Honestly, it might be the worst matchup in the league for them.

It still amazes me that someone who plays basketball for a living can't shoot 40% from the line.

Oh, and Lionel Hollins has done a wonderful job completely getting into Ed Davis' head. He'd really improved as a Raptor. He comes to Memphis, Hollins denigrates the trade publicly, refuses to play Davis and now he's playing like a rookie.

How many times will Memphis' perimeter players leak out on the defensive glass while Jordan bats the ball out from behind with the Clips getting to the loose ball? So damn frustrating.

KevB 04-22-2013 10:19 PM
That ankle has been giving Zach trouble, not going to help the cause.

Had LAC in 7 at beginning of thread. Haven't seen anything that would lead me to change my mind yet. Clippers are just a better team, but the games are going to be played a little differently in Memphis I expect.

Ed Davis was very good for us this year. What an awful trade that was. Too bad to hear they've destroyed his development as well.

Turiaf? Yeah, that's hilarious. Considering he used to be able to shoot 70.

I was referring to DeAndre Jordan. He was shooting like 38% the last time I looked. Actually, the Clippers team is pretty bad all around though.

KC_Connection 04-22-2013 10:27 PM
No call on the Gasol hack. Then a double foul is called. LMAO

Yeah he's terrible at it too. Always has been.

Zach had the position
