    That wouldn't shock me or bother me as long at Batum is healthy. If he slowed at all really by that knee then its silly to have him chasing after Conley and getting burned. Rather have him on Allen if that is the case

    I'm telling you man... If you run the Clipper trap defense when they try and pick n roll, it will be effective. Aldridge has long, quick hands to disrupt Conley as well.

    I'd move Dame to Allen- he has no postgame and can't do shit on offense.

    Batum on Conley, and Afflalo on Lee.

    True but the ironic part is that Memphis is saying Conley and Allen wouldn't even play if the playoffs started now. I don't believe them but it will be interesting to see who if more injured.

    I actually almost posted your scenario instead. I agree that it is also a good option. Just not sure if AAA is quick enough to stay with Lee. Memphis seems like a good matchup for CJ to get big minutes.

    Try it for a full season. 10:45 PM starts on TNT with elongated timeouts. Brutal.

    I had some when I was like six years old (at least that's what they told me it was). Tough and chewy, as I recall. Maybe it wasn't prepared properly. I think I might like it better prepared by the Blazers Chefs.

    :cheers:

    Just occurred to me: Even if we win the championship, we won't win more games regular season and playoffs combined that GS won in the reg seasom.

    I just heard on this podcast something that I wasnt aware of or hadnt occurred to me. That for all the crap that we got for playing .500 basketball since the allstar break - so has Memphis.
