    Grizzlies V. Clippers tomorrow

    Is this a trap? Line is at Griz -9

    2nd meeting, Griz killed them 105-82. Clippers on 5th leg of 5-game road trip. Clippers without Gordon who is a HUGE part of the O with a tough D team like Griz. But still 105-82!!!

    1st meeting, at Staples center, Griz win 84-83. Griz on the 5th leg of 5-game road trip.

    My thoughts:
    PG: Williams equal match to Conley. Conley bit quicker, maybe grab some steals. Expect about 15 pts from each, no edge in physical match up.

    SG: Gordon (who has been cold) will be instrumental for pts. He can outshoot Allen. Will Allen be able to guard him? Absolutely. Allen has been on fire. If not Allen, then the more physical Mayo. They'll take turns the poor guy, who had an AWFUL game v Thunder last Sat.

    Center: Gasol will pummel DeAndre and/or Kaman. Gasol and Randolph will dominate the paint.

    PF: Randolph will more than likely keep Griffin in check, like he did their second meeting. Since Griffin can't score, it'll be up to Williams and Gordon. Read above what I think of that.

    Weak side shooter: except better stuff from Young than Foye.

    CONCLUSION: I see a complete and total annihilation. I expect another 20 pt blowout. And it's @ Griz, so no foul reffing. And Clippers been sloppy, so not expecting any secret weapons or jihad-like effort from them.

    Where is Vegas getting -9?

    My projection of course, you left out another defensive specialist in Battier.
    we've been through this in last 2 mem's games; mem can't do it against NO on the road, mem can't put score on the board -10 is too big, timberwolves will keep it close... they're playing with you.

    Ya really.

    Ok, going BIG, in good faith, it does seem like a lock of the year.

    Seems to me that more than a few people are leaning Memphis tonight. Looking like the better of the plays on the book today too. I'm with you. Might buy it back down to -9. When a line looks good to you it's a sign. Memphis should give it their all tonight to stay in the playoffs race and get a home win. Clipps might want to show up to be the spoilers but this team just straight up sucks on the road so I don't see them hanging past the second quarter - like always with that team.
