Grizz fans. What are our chances tonight?

[Seinfeld]

Personally, I think both CP3 and Griffin will play with no issues. Also, much like the Grizz did with the Spurs last year, LA knows that this will be their one and only shot to win the series. They don't want it going back to Memphis so I expect 110% effort from them. Wish I could say I was optimistic, but I think this will be a very, very tough game to win.

Worthless but annoying stat of the day. LA had been shooting 42% from 3pt range going into game 5 of the playoffs. During the season, they didn't have a single player that shot 39% or better.

...CP3 and Griffin will be at full strength.

1. Just keep Paul in check. We can't have him going for 30 with 15 assists. I'll take a 20 and 8-10 type game though.

2. Don't let Young and Williams both have NBA Jam ball on fire type of nights. You can weather the storm of one, but if both pour in 3-4 threes each, that's 18-24 points you've got to make up instead of 9-12.

looks. Frustrate Griffin, and stay in the passing lanes, no open 3s.

1. Get the ball inside early and often. Do not have Conley stand around dribbling until 10-12 seconds on shot clock with a pass to Rudy Gay outside the 3 point line in a isolation situation. Bad thing is, the Grizz do a good job of getting it inside quarters 1-3. And for whatever reason we go to Rudy iso offense in the 4th and look miserable.

Gasol and Zbo need to shoot at least 15 shots a piece. If they have a bad possession, go right back to it. Im not sure why when they mis a couple they quit going inside, bc missing a couple from the outside certainly doesnt stop Gay or Mayo from shooting again.

Totally agree on Paul and Griffin, they'll be fine and I'm sure both will have good games. This will mostassuredlylead an over eager sports media to call them things like "tough," which they aren't. Truth is, they haven't come close to blowing us out or enjoying a comfortable victory in the series, I expect the same. It will be just like the other two we had at Staples, tough till the end, team that makes the clutch shots wins, let's hope it's us this time. If Paul is at all hobbled tonight, advantage is definitely going to be for the Grizz.

Both teams are under a tremendous amount of pressure to win tonight. I would love to see a game 7 on Sunday, but I just don't see us breaking our streak against the Clippers in LA. The Clips will probably start with their 4th quarter strategy and crash the lane early forcing Conley, Gay, and Allen to make long shots. Whatever happens, it's going to be a hard fought game with a lot of fouls. Hopefully the refs won't be persuaded by a bunch of flopping.

but I don't see Paul playing at full strength. Groin injuries linger for a while at the best of times, and this one is a re-aggravation of a previous injury on top of that. I'm sure Griffin will be at full strength as I don't believe his injury was even as serious as he made it out to be, but that won't mean much if Paul is hobbled.

Clippers win in 6. The refs will see to it.

 

[Damn-Dog]

We haven looked pretty bad for the most part this entire series, and still can't seem to put a full game together. If we would continue to do whatnot us here which is scoring down low I would like our chances, I just don't think we will do it. Rudy will continue to try to do too much.

With that said, if we do somehow win tonight I think we win the series

 

[PBRME]

It's no doubt if we win tonight we win game 7.

 

[PBRME]

Everything we don't need to happen is happening so far. Rudy hogging the ball, Allen getting stupid with the ball, not feeding Zach and Marc down low.

 

[Damn-Dog]

.....

 

[seshomoru]

The players are good enough to turn it around instantly. Looking good now. We'll see how LA responds.

 

[Damn-Dog]

....they play their best when they are down 20+ points

 

[PBRME]

Bledsoe is a damn pest.

 

[seshomoru]

And Evans is a complete turd.
