Jamal Crawford had an MRI today that revealed a minor strain in his left calf. He is being listed as day-to-day.

That's good to hear. Redick's absence is being felt.

Going into these last 20 games we need a big push of Ws. Clips need to take 3rd or maybe even 2nd. If OKC can hold the #1 spot going into the playoffs and if we remain 4th that's just setting up a 2nd Rd matchup.

Wooooooooooo! Very much looking forward to seeing what Granger has to offer.

Once Healthy we can throw out a bench of Collison, Crawford, Granger, Barnes and big Baby...That's better than a lot of our old starting 5s

I'm not expecting much out of Granger but at least he's another dude that's been deep in the playoffs and was "the man" on his team. That should count for something hopefully.

Let's welcome Mr. Granger! Hopefully we can see some play on Saturday.

Granger better be starting, or initially bench, than moved to starter after a few games, I don't want him to be part of the tribe the rest of the season. Our starting 5 could be

CP3
Willie
Granger
Blake
DJ



Let Barnes and Crawford go back to the bench, it would still be just as good. Anyways, Granger is a dope pickup, just hope he can produce and spark like he did in the I.

 

[certifiedflyboi23]

I hate Willie Green. He's weak

 

[818shoe]

willie green is garbage...trade that foo

 

[iheartboost]

I hate Willie Green. He's weak

JJ and RAWford are day to day, Green is our only hope

 

[lawdog1]

JJ and RAWford are day to day, Green is our only hope

Or we could start Barnes at 2 and Dudley at 3. Bench is looking thin though.

Granger may HAVE to play tonight.

This week will be good. Tomorrow we get to have our revenge against the Suns and thursday we get to lay a final whoopin' on that other LA team.

I'm still that it isn't going to be a sweep again this year. They were touched by an Angel on opening night man. But as a friend told me after, that win will mean a whole lot more to them than the loss did to us.

All indications point to JJ being out for the remainder which sucks. I'm hoping this next month off helps him out and maybe lets him be ready for playoffs.

 

[lawdog1]

^^^ Sucks about JJ. He's such a huge part of the team when healthy.

And I'm starting to get over that opening night loss to the Lakers. They clearly were the more motivated team that night. They'd been hearing all off-season that they were going to suck. 3-1 on the season isn't bad.

 

[certifiedflyboi23]

Suns been slipping lately and we're getting stronger weekly..

Let's get it

 

[djlunchbox]

Awesome win tonight. Had me worried at the half but damn Barnes came with that work to get ahead.

Much needed win considering all the west teams won tonight. We now have that 3rd spot. Need Portland and Houston to falter to keep it locked in.

 

[certifiedflyboi23]

Barnes sending a message to Danny Granger and Doc Rivers

 

[lawdog1]

Barnes has been balling lately. Hope he keeps it up. Nice W tonight; now time to give LAL that work on Thursday.

 

[div1lbc]

Big win tonight, had to keep pace with the other West teams.

It seems like the trade rumors sparked both Barnes and Collison. Adding Granger should hopefully continue to motivate Barnes because he knows Granger can come in and take his minutes if he starts to struggle.

 

[marath0n]

I like how this is starting to come together. Get Granger back to 100% and let's get ready for a deep playoff run.

 

[lawdog1]

I have to say how good Collison has been for us this year. Held down the PG spot while CP3 was our and now he's capably filling in at SG. Awesome to have a guy like that.

 

[djlunchbox]

Yeah Barnes admitted he was shook before trade deadline. DC really had nothing to worry about I think. He stepped in and stepped up in CP3's absense. Barnes tho he was on fire last night.

We need to stay on pace and sweep these last remaining games. Looking at the top 5 in the west all the teams have a good win streak going with Lob City leading the pack sitting at 5 wins.

We've got 3 tough games ahead with our final matchup against Golden State, Denver and Dallas. I throw Denver in there because even tho they're out of the race they won't just lay down. Especially not for us.

Yoooooooooop


I know y'all saw that dunk by quake just now
