Clippers by 10

Blake

Paul is already drooling imagining matchup vs Watson and Tinsley. This is going to be brutal...
Clipps by 9 ( Jazz bench will make it respectable in 4th quarter with starters from both teams resting)
Griffin with more pts.

Clippaz by 26, Griff.

Clippers by 14.

Millsap really seems to get up for his match-up with Blake...... but I'll still go with Griffin getting more points.

Clips 13
Sap

Between Paul and Blesdoe plus the new-found (again) realization by the league that all you have to do is show the Jazz a zone and making them shoot over the top and its a W...this could be uglier, but as noted above, the Jazz clean-up crew will make it seem less of a blow-out than it was. Sigh.

what the hell. clips on back to back jazz looking for bouce back win? jazz by 1 Paul big game. Ainge trade rondo to jazz for paul and three first round picks.

Is this game home?

I double-checked, yes. Then they play @ Clippers on Sunday.

Jazz will lose by 15. Millsap with more points

Ah hell. Completely predictable: Clips by 12 and not really that close. And Millsap with more pts, Griffin rests.

Ah hell NO! Tinsley and Watson decide to get in Paul's head and it WORKS. Paul gets pissed at the non-stop hands-on pestering and tries to "take over the game". This works OF COURSE, but he forgets the rest of his team's formidable assets and the Jazz stay in the game, and blow out to a double-digit 3rd quarter lead behind the defensive lineup w/Carrol, Gordo, Favors, Millsap. Bledsoe hyperventilates in the PG Warz and turns the ball over repeatedly, to the delight of the fans.

Paul returns to the game but there's a slight delay when Derek Fisher enters the arena, having heroically flown in from some noble, heart-touching, sympathy-generating medical procedure or something (it was actually just a dog grooming appointment, but hey. Ugly dog.)

Paul leads the Clips back with Matt Barnes, Lamar Odom, and Jamal Crawford doing the damage. But Fisher (heroically) got into uniform and checked in at the scorers table (nobly) to replace ejected Earl Watson, who has just bitten Chris Paul's ear (hungrily)!

I don't even have to tell ya how it finishes, and the noise level in The Solution goes to 11 (142 decibels).

Jazz by 2, Millsap. Booyah!!

Clippers +9; Griffin.

jazz by 5

Jazz by 4.
Griffin.

Clips by 9, Millsap

Clips by 9, Millsap

OK, maybe we'll keep Foye.

First time I've ever been irked by Corbins lack of coaching. That 3rd quarter where they went on a 12-0 run, then 15-3, there was no stoppage by Corbin, no TO, nothing. Finally Favors Hayward and Burks back in, no Kanter. Took way too long. What is his problem with pulling the vets?

Because he will find a way to screw it up on his stone tablet substitution pattern. Seriously, no Kanter? The kid was on fire. We'll see, but if they blow this game it is gonna be ugly in the fan section...

Lets see what the youngin's do starting this 4th quarter......

Al did look good last part of the 3rd though.

Over back and jazz get F 34ked! Why is that dum chit ref making a blind azz call over ref standing right by play? Thats why i freaking hate this game! BS calls for superstars!

Once again thi has nothing to do with the refs.

A much better question is why did Corbin again take out Fav, Burks and Kanter? First move after the break, with 5 mins, is Paul not boxing out Jordan. Kanter and Favors both get that done at least. Burks esp, is the only one staying even close to Crawford.

Paul especially isn't even putting in his normal effort, and CONSTANTLY just swiping at the ball, verses getting his body in there. Its lazy.

Ty, any chance you saw what Lawrence Frank did in Detroit tonight???? HE LEFT IN ALL HIS SUBS WHO WERE GETTING IT DONE, AND THEY BEAT THE HEAT.

This ones on Corbin.

I'm sick of our starter! Time to trade Al and Sap. And throw Ty in and get a new coach while at it. If he cant see the writing on the wall with who's playing bad he's not the coach i want for the long haul. Kanter should've finish this game over Al or sap!

This ones on Corbin, again.

No matter how well the second unit is playing, even against the opposing team's mixed first/second unit, Corbin will pull them according to his stop watch. He really does not have game feel at all with his substitution patterns.

Why cant the jazz get any of those touch foul and freethrows? Clips got em all night long.
