    I really want this to go 7 games. This is the only interesting 1st round series outside of Mavs-Thunder. Grizzlies are a tough team but you can't underestimate the Clips. They still homecourt advantage and they won the regular season series against the Grizz. They also went 3-1 against the Thunder. They're offense is elite.

    Exactly. The Clippers will definitely win one in LA.

    Clippers did what they needed to do and that was win one in Memphis. Simple as that.

    Clippers game is built by Chris Paul doing everything. He'll kill you guys and keep them in it for a few more games. But unless someone else steps up, he'll tire out like last year.

    the chris paul-led hornets were swept by the lakers last year who in turn was swept by the mavericks. this year its cp3 + griffin. memphis: biggie? no biggie.

    I don't think he's cocky at all because he hasn't made his vote yet as big of a grizzlies fan he is. I'm a bit shocked

    Not only is this logic absolutely stupid considering these are two different teams.

    It's also stupid because New Orleans did not get swept last year.

    It's also stupid because even if they did get swept last year the Clippers won Game 1.

    I think it was the way he was shoving the Grizz's big lead in the first game in Clippy's face unprovoked.

    the point of my post was the hornets never had a chance. the rockets got beaten by utah in 2008 4-2, did you really think we had a chance? tmac was sensational in that series and we didn't have a sniff of a series win.

    its only a matter of formality for this series to be won by memphis. book it.

    the clippers will either win in 6, lose in 6, or lose in 7.

    If you think the clippers can go into game 7 in fedex forum and take game 7 I think you ain't watched the series so far.

    The clippers only shot to win the series is to win every game in staples.

    The point of your post was wrong.

    Big difference between 4-2 and 4-0. Who cares if they had a chance. What does the Lakers/Hornets series have to do with the Grizzlies/Clippers series?

    Absolutely nothing at all.

    What I don't like about playing the clippers is that they share staples with the lakers and that means the grizzlies have to wait 3 days between games, which is totally ridiculous.

    I hope Memphis wins this series but what type of statement is this? Clippers already stole one at fed ex.

    Chris Paul is the best player in this series so if it goes 7 you better be worried.

    2 different teams? wats different thats so significant? yea, thought u couldn't say. the only real difference is now they have blake griffin. ariza, jason smith, okafor, compared with simmons, jordan and young are so meaningless you can find a bunch of them on every team.

    memphis DOMINATED clippers in game 1. if it wasn't for a miraculous comeback, the result would have been much the same as today's game.

    blake griffin, as of now, has a game more suited to the regular season than to the playoffs.

    just thought u should know.

    did you miss game 1?

    i think your exaggerating hca. the grizzlies still have to stop the clipps from making so many baskets.
