Qs Quote:
The Clippers lackadaisical play finally bit them in the butt, costing them their first loss of the season against Russell Westbrook's fiery play. Memphis has a game on the Clippers, and jave been playing well, minus the blow-out loss at Minnesota. It wasn't that long ago where these two teams jabbed in the playoffs, each winning once, with hopes this would be a long-term rival. Expect this game to be chippy and low-scoring. Doc also needs to give Wesley Johnson or Alan Anderson their first start as Memphis has no one on the wings that Prince Luc needs to keep his shackles on.

Blake vs Randolph Fight Compliation (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v3p9VX7CQnE)

[ClipperRevival]

I expect the Clips to destroy Memphis tonight after laying an egg against OKC. They will be completely motivated and come out firing. They always do this after laying an egg against teams they should've beaten.

[qrich]

Really excited to see James Ennis represent the Big West, hope he has a solid showing.

Just praying that Rivers isn't stupid enough to start MBah A Moute, give Wes/Alan/Jamal/Austin the nod, hell, even Speights.

[qrich]

Paul Pierce will be active for tonight's game.....wonder who gets the IR spot. Alan?

[qrich]

Zach Randolph has requested to start since Blake is coming to town.....should be fun.

Wow this game is gonna be physical.

[L8krH8tr]

Zbo is all over Blake like Glue this is hilarious.

[qrich]

Our offense has done a full 180. Ball movement, good screens, good motion, etc.

Defense remains looking sexy.

Waiting for the first tech/flagrant of the game.

[qrich]

Our D is so scrappy, so composed, loving it.

Best game, to this point, the Clips have put together. A few open misses is whats keeping this from a 15 point game.

[qrich]

There we go, offense is finally kicking, up 15.

Need to try to blow the pedo-bears out to give the starters the 4th quarter off ahead of tomorrow's game.

[qrich]

53-35 lead at the half. Our D looks so good, has all season so it isn't just against the offensively-challenged Memphis team.

Our O has been looking much better but still, miles away from a finished product.

[qrich]

No reason we aren't up by 25...at all.

[qrich]

Conley so underrated.

[qrich]

76-57 lead. Despite the huge advantage, we have yet to really put our foots on the Grizzlies throats and are kind of letting them linger. Just grateful that they have no real offensive spark type of game and need to prevent any quick 8-0 runs they may be able to muster.

Memphis needs to rebuild though, get some pieces for Gasol/Z-Bo/Parsons and give it 2 years. Conley is pretty much immovable at this point.

[qrich]

But being up 19 despite shooting 38% is a great sign for our defense. 14 steal? :eek:

[Young X]

CP3 might be the best player I've ever seen at getting steals. And they're mostly not passing lane steals either, he's just straight up taking the ball away from guys or blocking their passing lanes.

[qrich]

The one year the D starts out elite, our O sucks.

:facepalm

[Young X]

The one year the D starts out elite, our O sucks.

:facepalmThe offense will come around eventually, trust me.

[qrich]

The offense will come around eventually, trust me.

I know, it's just frustrating.

[Smoke117]

The offense will be fine...it's the defensive effort that needs to stay consistent.

[qrich]

Jamal :facepalm

Wow, Fisdale using his last-time out. Rookie mistake.

[qrich]

I'll take a 4-1 start with our offense struggling. Our D has been great, wouldn't be shocked if we are #1 on a lot of the metrics.

17 steals tonight though is great. Paul with 6 and Prince Luc had 3 in 18 minutes. 27/11 as well with 2 blocks for Paul :eek:

Blake had his worst game of the year, offensively, put still at 14/10 :eek:

Jordan finally rebounds.

JJ and Jamal need to start hitting shots.

5 down, 77 to go! #WeGotThis

[Darius]

Clippers offense has looked like shit so far. No spacing. Yeah open shots are being missed but, in general, we are just getting worse shots.
