@Me Ha Ha YES! I'm still watching it! :)
The Clippers beat the Grizzlies, 101-92, on Tuesday
Crawford had a great game in his Clippers debut v Memphis.
Crawford exploded for a game-high 29 points (10-14 FG, 3-7 3PT, 6-8 FT) in 29:51 off the bench.
Crawford’s effort was the top bench scoring debut in Clippers history, and the5th highest scoring debut in team history.
Crawford’s 29 points was also the 6th highest scoring Opening Game for a bench player in the NBA since the 1985-86 season.
Clippers limited the Grizzlies to 38.4 percent shooting from the field (33-of-86 FG) in the season opener on Oct. 31, including shutting Memphis down in the 4th quarter and holding them to just 27.8 percent shooting (5-18 FG) in the 4th Q
Let me hear what you think will happen in tonight's game? What is your final prediction?
Does anyone out there have any $$$$$ on today's game? I would take the Lakers +1.5 and OVER 191
The Lakers lost 116-106 in Portland and are now 0-2 for the second consecutive season.
Bryant (61.8) and Dwight Howard (63.0) have combined to shoot 62.3 percent from the field in the Lakers' first two games
Prior to an 0-8 mark this preseason, the Lakers worst exhibition record (8-game min.) was 3-5, which happened six times, most recently in 2003-04. For each of their two most recent championship seasons, the Lakers went 6-2 in the 2008 and 2009 preseasons.
@KdK(lLakers) What up? i also think the Lakers will get back on track tonight, even minus Nash. :)
Who do you thnk will win this division? Clips or Lakers?
We are just about to get things underway in La La land!
How do you think the Nash absence will hurt the Lakers tonight?
@m33 That's something, isn't it?
Jordan V Howard and the Clippers win the tip!
Griffin misses the pull up jumper. Ball is defelcted out of bounds off of Howard.
5 SECOND VIOLATION called on the inbounds attempt.
