Rudy should put up at least 20ppg this series, Caron is too small/old to guard him and Nick Young is a poor defender and not big enough either. Zach won't be 100% for the rest of the year but he's back in the starting lineup and the Grizz are going to need his offense to offset Blake's scoring. This has been the series I've been looking forward to all weekend, hopefully they get off to a good start to offset a disappointing weekend, outside of the Thunder/Mavs the other games have been duds.

Really pumped for this series too, they are two of my favorite teams and it's just a great matchup. I agree that Rudy should have a big series, I've got Memphis winning it in a very close 6-7 game series. Love Marc Gasol's game.

Rudy's pull up jumper game is what I wanted to see from Jeremy this year, two-three dribbles, rise up and knock it down. Rudy can pretty much do that against every SF in the game except Bron/Durant/Melo with his size/length advantage

It's the NBA, everyone makes a run.
One of the truer sports cliches out there.

Can't say I've ever seen anything like that, Mavericks were the closest thing with some epic comebacks last year but that was just absurd. Anyone questioning why Tom Thibodeau had Derrick Rose in the game yesterday, that's why. It's playoff basketball and the game is never over until the final buzzer, everyone makes a run.

Watched the 4th quarter this morning before work since I went to bed last night thinking the game was wrapped up...did these guys really just did this???(c)John Starks
Don't understand why the Grizz went away from sharing the ball and went straight iso mode, they got completely out of their offense and panicked once the Clips started to make their charge. They kept holding onto the ball, clearing out and then taking desparation jumpers at the end of the shotclock, it looked straight out of the UConn handbook of what not to do when building a lead. Zach and Rudy were the biggest at fault at this, Zach couldn't do anything with Reggie Evans and Rudy had about 4 very bad possessions of iso ball that netted nothing, he also waited way too long to go for that last shot even though I did like the shot he got. The Grizz bigs were also very bad in getting back in transition once LAC started playing fast, Rudy got stuck trying to defend the rim on a couple of possessions that led to wide open Nick Young 3s because the Grizz bigs were trailing. Hollins also waited way too long to put Tony Allen back in the game when they needed D. Not sure if they can come back from this, Mavs had a similar collapse last year but at least that was on the road, they pretty much face a must win game in game 2.

lol did you see what Rudy did to Carmelo this year when the Grizz played the Knicks. He made Carmelo look like a chump and then Carmelo went out of the game with an "injury."
P.S. Thats the game when Shaw said at half time Rudy is one of the best players in the game.
