Well...they had Nate Robinson who was pretty good coming off that . I don't think they are going far this year, they should be doing everything in their power to free up cap-space and make a run at Melo. That would be the perfect signing for them.
The Clippers must have a low-post player I'm not aware of it, because most of their points come either in transition or from the perimeter. Yes, it is. Per ESPN, all but two of last season's playoff teams averaged fewer points per game in the playoffs than they did in the regular season. The exceptions were the Golden State Warriors and Brooklyn Nets. --Captain Decker

Rubio with another craptacular offensive showing. "b.b..but the intangibles!!" He's lucky Curry got a bone bruise in his foot and possible tweaked his knee.
Blake scores most of his points from the interior. Paul penetrates constantly and that is how the Clippers get so many lobs and easy layups. Also, it is absurd to single out the Clippers and say that the Rockets and Warriors (and even OKC) have so much more interior scoring. The Rockets have Dwight, who is at best a wash with Griffin on the inside (but probably won't put up the same offesive production under McHale). Everything else is on the perimeter, and the jack up way more threes than the Clippers (something that you could argue doesn't bode well in the playoffs if you want to go by the common logic, but it isn't really true).
Will Rubio ever learn to shoot? The guy's been playing professional basketball for 7 years now, and all people say about him is how dangerous he will be if he can get a consistent jump shot, except that they probably said the same thing since he was 16.
So....if the Grizzlies can't score and regressed on defense...I'm thinking that might be bad for them.
Genetic holes can be filled in the right environment, unfortunately Cleveland isn't one of those environments.
