It would be nice to get a rebound at some point.

 

[Kobe24]

I'm getting Odom in Lakers flashbacks. Sigh

 

[Edgeward]

Thank God, Odom can still rebound.

And I completely didn't expect Crawford to pass there. I know Billups would've taken the 3

 

[jjasper]

Terrible defense and rebounding.

 

[Black Mamba]

Why is Memphis playing prince at pf? Plays right into clips bench.

Ed Davis should be in. Now zbo.

 

[notoriousKTR]

Whatever momentum MEM got...just got shot down.

 

[fertygo]

Marc Gasol are mediocre rebounder.

It's like Hollins forgot that he has Davis and Arthur on his bench.

 

[Black Mamba]

lol no zbo. Your bench sucks Hollins. It's the playoffs, shorten the leash.

 

[Edgeward]

okay, time to put the starters in.

No, not just DJ and Blake. what

 

[Black Mamba]

How is zbo and Conley not in the game?

And cp3?

These fucking coaches. lmao

 

[Vic]

Why Zbo isn't in?

 

[jjasper]

Put in Zach please. We need rebounds.

Also why is Arthur in over Davis? Fucking Hollins.

 

[Red Blaster]

who in their right mind plays keyon dooling 4th quarter minutes in the playoffs

 

[theignoramus]

well so much for all that psychobabble about the Clips not being able to score in a half court game.

 

[Black Mamba]

Memphis's bench is terrible and Hollins is playing them too much. I don't get it at all.

Welcome to my life.

 

[NomarTyme]

Bayless is awesome.

 

[Edgeward]

hmmm, Bledsoe is kept in. I'm alright with this.

hack a DJ

 

[jjasper]

Why the fuck is Arthur playing over Davis still?

Edit: oh that makes sense

 

[dream]

You would, Lionel Hollins, you would.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Jerryd Bayless looks like a little mini-Boozer

 

[brianjones]

why is Memphis supposed to be good

they don't look very threatening

 

[notoriousKTR]

Gasol can't sell for shit.

 

[jjasper]

why is Memphis supposed to be good

Cause the Clippers are a terrible match up for them. Probably the worst match up for them in the league included the Heat.

Plus after they stoked out in game 1 they have never been the same.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Marc Gasol's defense seemed weirdly average tonight.

A lot of it is psychological, it seems.

lol Barkley

 

[Vic]

Because of their defense which is rated 1st in the league.

 

[Black Mamba]

This game was flukey. If not for the rebounding advantage of the clips, which in contrary to every previous game, Memphis would be in good shape.

Add in Conley being terrible, griffin being terrible, and all the foul trouble both ways i bet game 2 will look very different. Memphis has to win that one though.

 

[Edgeward]

I hope Hollins never figures it out that Gasol is unstoppable in the post and should feed him more.

 

[jjasper]

He won't. And Marc isn't aggressive enough to demand the ball.

 

[Byakuya769]

Turiaf towel power.

 

[Syphon Filter]

what is the record for okc vs clips this season?

 

[SoulPlaya]

Turiaf towel power.

He knows his place.

He's the Taj Gibson to Blake's Boozer.

 

[thekad]

Marc Gasol's defense seemed weirdly average tonight.

He's not really a "rim protector" like Dwight or Bogut. He's more like KG.

Bayless isn't going to score 15+ a game either.

Eh, bruh... that 's a guy with a heart of a champion!

Hahaha... nah, you're right.

 

[Black Mamba]

Right the whole game was flukey. I'm not saying clips winning is a fluke (I picked them to win the series), I just mean the entire game probably will look different than the rest of the series. The way it played out was strange.

 

[Edgeward]

Bingo! That's the way to get to 100+!

 

[Adam Blade]

Oh me oh my!

not a fluke.clips have their number for a long time. the bench for the clips are better and they have cp3.

 

[ratcliffja]

Yea.

 

[Black Mamba]

Damn cp3.


Memphis badly needs a Kyle korver.

 

[jjasper]

He is saying the way the game played out was a fluke not the end result.

 

[Adam Blade]

what is the record for okc vs clips this season?

In favor of OKC.

 

[jordan0386]

They need a PG with a higher ceiling

 

[jjasper]

We also need a coach with a brain.

 

[Edgeward]

Bledsoe is the X factor

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

He's not really a "rim protector" like Dwight or Bogut. He's more like KG.

Ehh, Gasol (and definitely KG as well) is a very good paint protector generally I think (Maybe they won't block as many shots as other guys but they can stop drives into the paint and make people adjust their shot). He seemed to make rotations tonight that weren't as good as he normally did, seemed a little behind for once.

Maybe that was just him trying to adjust to all the offensive rebounds the Grizzlies were giving up without Z-bo on the court though.
