OFFICIAL Postseason race thread *Sticky*

From a ksl article: We know one thing for sure: Blake Griffin is not on the plane to Salt Lake City, resting. So he's out.

And Clippers coach Doc Rivers had told the media that the plan was to rest all of his main players, like he did in the Clippers last game in Oklahoma City when Chris Paul, DeAndre Jordan, and J.J. Redick all rested, but the health of the Clippers' bench may change that plan.

That's because neither Austin Rivers, Wesley Johnson, or Jamal Crawford played Wednesday, the first two due to injury and the latter due to rest. If Rivers and Johnson can't play, the Clippers would likely need to play at least Redick, just so they have enough healthy wings.



Good news!

That is good news - I'll take them anyway I can at this point.

Also good to see Denver slacking off the last few games after playing well. Hope they can put them away early on Sunday.

I was just going to ask everyone if anything can be gained for Denver or lakers draft positron wise if they tank?
 
Would be nice to have the clips rest dudes and Denver and lakers tank.

That would leave only our superbowl game (dallas) as a really tough one and that one at home.

Close the season on a four game win streak, playing great ball for a a while now and being the healthiest we have been since the season opener.

Our opponent would have to be a little worried.

Lakers are very likely stuck at the 2nd pick (barring lottery), but Denver can end up anywhere from 7th to 11th pick.

No such thing as a guaranteed win with this team haha. That lineup almost beat a full OKC squad on the road. Rivers and Crawford combined for like 71 points or something crazy.

Don't be so sure. Sometimes these bench players take teams by surprise. Maybe it's because it is more difficult to game plan for a team when they don't use their typical starting lineup or maybe it's because opposing teams don't take them seriously.

They rested their starters last week and just about beat the Thunder.

Besides, it's been a few weeks since the Jazz laid an egg.

I hate to be a doubter, but I went to that Nets game expecting a win. I don't expect anything from this team anymore.

No doubt, nothing it set in stone in the NBA - but I have full faith in Utah after how they played SAS and GSW. They are showing a lot of fight and Clippers bench won't be fighting for much.

I'm almost at full faith, but not quite there yet. I'll lean on your faith.
 
The Clippers' bench sucks. This game should be over by 2 minutes into the 2nd quarter. In fairness, CP3 needs all the rest he can get.
