    That first game we played against them was brutal. So many dunks and uncontested shots. I was thinking this season was going to be much worse than it has been.

    I hope we have a much better game today.

    Revenge game for Simons !! He injured his thumb in the first game against LAC. Keeping Ant of the sidelines for over a month has brewed up some destructive energy. What's Anfernee's career high? ~45 ?? I'd like to see Simons write a new chapter for the Clippers old timers.

    Grant must have suffered a pretty serious concussion

    Westbrook looked like he was on a mission to destroy Scoot. It was brutal.

    Now all we have to do is put the killer mentality Kobe had in Sharp.

    Must have. Didn't seem like that hard of a hit.

    That inadvertent head butt was a bad thump. We saw the slow mo replay of the head bash, but what we didn't see is how Jerami ended up by the scorers table in a heap. Did he try and walk it off then black out?

    I saw the replay. It honestly didn't look that bad to me. Just looked like quick melon knock. I don't think he blacked out. He grabbed his head, then seemed to lose his composure, and stumbled over to the scoring table and sat down as far as I saw. Wasn't a great replay.

    I think this also his 3rd concussion with the Blazers. It is known that having previous concussions increases susceptibility of subsequent concussions.

    Yurtseven did a backwards headbutt to (edit) the right side of Grant's head.
    Grant took a few steps to go upcourt, then bent over, then he was seen lying next to the scorer's table.

    In the video of this screenshot you can see Grant's lips and face vibrate when he was hit. Something you'd see in a boxing match/movie.
