Really hoping the Clippers can get the 3... While they can beat the Grizz (and vice versa), these teams wear each other out so much that they would have no chance in round 2. Basically last year all over again.
They would just have to lose one game. They have a road game at Milwaukee, so you never know. I'm not getting my hopes up though.
Don't they have to lose one game and both the Clippers and Grizzlies win out? I realize that's getting away from my choke comment but I am curious.
They have to lose one game and the Clippers have to win their two remaining (Portland and @Sac-- which is not a gimme by any means). Or they have to lose one game and Memphis has to win both of theirs (since I think Denver has the tiebreaker with Memphis). But to make it simple, if Denver loses @Milwaukee, the Clippers are probably going to be the 3 seed. That game is on a back-to-back for Denver too. The Bucks might even be favored.
Haha! The Clips still have Memphis' number. Poor Memphis fans, they're in for Groundhog Day experience once the playoffs begin if they draw the Clippers again.
