Clips Nation.-
We lost one in Memphis and the series is headed back to Los Angeles. A Memphis win was not unexpected.
Please note the following is my own personal opinion and it does not reflect anyone else's (if our Fearless Leader feels it needs to be deleted, it is is his prerogative). I do not like to complain about game officials (job is hard enough) but have to say that they did miss some very dirty plays (i.e. Eric Bledsoe's funny bone) by Memphis that were as clear as day. Dirty plays that even Ray Charles, Jr. could not miss.
I had a lot of respect for the Grizzlies but after last night, such respect is nowhere to be found. One thing is to be a team that grinds it out to get the win. It is another thing to employ tactics that just are not right. Some of you might or might not agree with me and it is perfectly fine. But these are just my observations.
Now that my ranting is out of the way, here is a Clipper fix until then.
P.S. My apologies for posting this Daily Clipper a bit later than usual.
