West 1st Round, Game 2: Memphis vs Clippers

[Venti Quattro]

I still think Memphis will win this game. They have to get less gay though.

[racm]

They have to contain CP3 like they did with Tony last year.

[smaka]

It's going to be a long series. I predict at least 6 games. In the end, Memphis will win I guess.

[Mugen]

I expect Memphis to win tonight by double digits and the series to be 2-2 when they come back for Game 5.

[100%duncan]

Memphis wins. This series goes to 7 imo.

[SpursIndonesia]

Memphis will take game 2. I don't think The Clippers are good enough to steal another away win in Memphis, so winning the rest of their home games is imperative, if they want to beat The Grizz and make game 1 win count + go to the next stage.

[MR.SILVER&BLack]

Grizz by 10

[z0sa]

Blowout for the Clippers following that close Spurs loss IMO :)

[Budkin]

Grizz by 15

[Venti Quattro]

I hope nobody fouls in the Utah-SA game so we can get this shit underway.

[pass1st]

I think Grizzilies will not let up when they are up by 20+ this time, Randolph should keep doing pushups though, considering his obesity and all

[MR.SILVER&BLack]

dammit. they got past 80.

Edit: whoops. wrong thread :p:

[midnightpulp]

Going to be a close game. Toss up. Memphis is massively overrated. Last year's Zack Randolph ain't walking through that door, people.

[pass1st]

We need BR in here with his monkeyball takes

Oh shit. Totally forgot about Caron Butler's injury. Clippers are undersized on the perimeter as it is, and without him to check Gay/Mayo (lol Bobby Simmons), they're going to have some problems.

In that case, Memphis by 8+.

[BlackSwordsMan]

Please clippers win.

[Venti Quattro]

Nick Young is not going to go HAM like he did in Game 1 but it's pretty certain that the Grizzlies are not going to be up by 20+ in this game.

[Brazil]

The clipps are starting this game much more focused than game one

[Paranoid Pop]

Should be a good one.

[Venti Quattro]

Memphis looks deflated. That's the last thing that they need right now.

[Trainwreck2100]

lordy cweb's commentating

[Venti Quattro]

Chris Webber is? good lord I'm not watching.

Venti Quattro with the "no shit" goods.:lol

[Spur_Fanatic]

I'm divided on who I want to win this series.

Clippers seem a nice matchup for us, but they'll get some serious ref love against us.
And the Grizz have our number, but I really want that rematch.

[Venti Quattro]

You should get that rematch with Memphis. Your team can beat them. Plus we eliminate the JV team

[pass1st]

Lakerfan wants Clippers out because they are our annoying little brother. Spurfan wants their revenge on Memphis.

Win-win

[pass1st]

Blake Griffin got his own action figure

[CGD]

Wow this Memphis team is just not the same when don't feature Zach. Also someone needs to tell connolly to shoot less. Clips look decent.

[Stalin]

does del neegro, ever run plays?

[Stalin]

bobby simmons still in the league?

[pass1st]

Chris Paul, the only non-monkeyballer in there

[WeNeedLength]

Chris Paul is ballin'

[rayjayjohnson]

Chris Paul is bitch made

[pass1st]

Monkeyball isn't working this half

[rayjayjohnson]

Whiney little fuck

I'm late to the party I know, but wtf is monkeyball?

[100%duncan]

Paul is stupid.

One dimensional play dependent on athleticism

Much obliged son

[rayjayjohnson]

Fuck Chris paul

[Brazil]

so nobody gives a shit about this game

[rayjayjohnson]

These are two of the shittest teams to watch tbh

[pass1st]

This thread is missing BRs monkeyball takes

[SpursIndonesia]

Gotta give CP3 the props, he leads his teammates like a franchise player should & keeps on battling for another away win, not just satisfied with yesterday's unprobable win.

[pass1st]

Injury watch: Davis Bledsoe

Im trying to watch it tbh but Im bored

[Brazil]

they are going to have more players in suit than wearing a jersey

[pass1st]

Paul living by the 3 today, eager to take shots beyond the arc

[pass1st]

Clippers shitting the bed now

[Brazil]

pondexter sucks

[midnightpulp]

Gay and Mayo going off. Caron Butler's absence being felt.

[pass1st]

Z-bo with a dagger

[pass1st]

Grizzilies better not shit the bed

[100%duncan]

Clips got what they wanted. Now they need to take care of things at home.

[midnightpulp]

Oh shit. Totally forgot about Caron Butler's injury. Clippers are undersized on the perimeter as it is, and without him to check Gay/Mayo (lol Bobby Simmons), they're going to have some problems.

In that case, Memphis by 8+.

:hat

[Bynumite]

It's great not seeing Chris Paul getting some of his bullshit regular season calls.

[pass1st]

Clippers main problem is that they lived by the 3 today, and now they aren't making those shots

[crc21209]

:lol 17 FT attempts for the Grizz in the 4th to only 1 for the Clippers...

[pass1st]

Chris Paul is getting chippy with players, trying to draw a T from somebody like a bitch

[pass1st]

Clippers are jump shooting only pretty much

And no Butler. He's their best perimeter defender.

Grizz ain't anything to write home about, honestly. If they make it to the next round, Spurs should handle them in 6 games tops.

I wouldn't write off the Grizzilies, they have good defenders and assuming Z-bo won't step up again is being a little too optimistic. A very balanced team that will probably gel more as the playoffs progress

I posted this in another thread on the same thing:


I would never wish injury on another player but Chris Paul makes it hard to watch the game. Dude drops to the ground when the ball is stolen from him, gets right back up and starts chopping with Baraka arms at the ball blatantly in front of the ref, which they usually don't call a foul, then drops to the floor again trying to draw a charge while pulling the guy down on top of him.

If it happened every so often, it wouldn't be so bad. But this guy does this all game long. The worst part is the guy is such a good point guard he should have to resort to this stuff all the time.

Manu gets a bad wrap for flopping (which he doesnt even do that much anymore) but he has never punched someone in the nuts during a game. How does nobody call Paul out?

He won't have the luxury of matching up with DeJuan Blair this time.

[Trainwreck2100]

lol memphis winning cause of free throws, pretty ironic for a fan base that like to bitch about the refs

[pass1st]

It didn't really help putting Duncan on him either, so is Diaw going to do work?

Didya watch the game? Memphis won because Clippers were hacking players instead of playing real defense and settled for jumpers 90% of the time.

[midnightpulp]

Splitter, who's the Spurs second best interior defender and probably their best man post defender at this point considering Duncan's age. Jefferson and Milsap are better bigs than Randolph right now and the Spurs had little problem containing them, without Splitter.

Clippers are also down 2 starters. I think Billups is pretty replaceable, since the Clippers have 2 players who are of similar size and play style, but Butler's absence really affected their perimeter defense, which was already undersized beforehand.

The Grizzlies wing players (Gay, Mayo, and Allen) combined for 51 points on 19-35 shooting.

[pass1st]

Splitter, who's the Spurs second best interior defender and probably their best man post defender at this point considering Duncan's age. Jefferson and Milsap are better bigs than Randolph right now and the Spurs had little problem containing them, without Splitter.

They are better than how Zach is playing now, but it still remains to be seen if this is all we can expect from Z-bo. That being said, there is still unknowns regarding Gay who played better today than last game and might continue to get into playoff rythem. You have Gasol who is beasting, it might make more sense to put Splitter on him.

Also, Parker might have a harder time getting in to score. The series would depend heavily on the shooting of Manu & Leonard to punish Grizzilies tendency to double team in the paint.

[pass1st]

That's on Griffin, tbh. He had trouble on the boards

Splitter? You mean that useless fuck who didnt even step foot on the court today?

[Trainwreck2100]

ZBo's not 100%, half the shit he put up today he made last year, so that's more pressure on Gasol should they meet.

[TDMVPDPOY]

last yr was contract year for zbo and injury this year....hopefully this series extends to 7 games and we catch either team on a 1 day break instead of the 2 for game 1 opener...
