If we want less chance of facing Grizzlies and more chance of facing either Portland or Mavs, we want Clippers to win.
A Clippers win all but guarantees that we'd either face Dallas or Portland in round 1 since it would lock us into either the 2 or the 5 spot (with a win tomorrow of course).

Crazy Stat of Day: At least 1 member of 30 of last 31 NBA title teams were teammates w/ Shaq during their careers.
Yeah, a Clippers win is better! We don't want to finish 3rd (or 6th). The only benefit in a Clippers loss is that it would allows us to lose, Memphis to lose, and us to still finish 5th with homecourt vs Portland. But that's kind of a stretch.

Suns will be without Marcus Morris, Brandan Wright, Alex Len, Marcus Thornton and Brandon Knight. Hopefully, it is a easy win for the Clippers.

On another note, this locks up the Cavs-Celtics 2-7 1st round matchup. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-partner="tweetdeck"><p>The two best teams in the East the last two months will meet in the first round. <a href="http://t.co/vnvwRnjBkI">pic.twitter.com/vnvwRnjBkI</a></p>— Sean Grande (@SeanGrandePBP) <a href="https://twitter.com/SeanGrandePBP/status/588160698489765888">April 15, 2015</a></blockquote> <script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Honestly, I was so glad he and Brandan Wright were a part of that Rondo trade. Those two were a pain in the butt for the Rockets in the past. I remember one game last year when we had like a 14 point lead over the Mavs with 2 minutes left in the game. Chrowder hit like 4 threes, which one of them was a 4 point play in that 2 minutes and we won by 2 points. I was scared he was going to go T-Mac on us..
Is it me or . .. . . should WASHINGTON BE ALOT BETTER THAN THEY ARE??? They HAVE talent!! Rocket River
