It's pretty ironic that boozer has been playing so well this season and playoffs though.

Boozer is a lot better than he gets credit for. If Boozer played next to Favors, he would be adored by Utah fans (the key word being "played").

Haha. You mean instead of "trip" over his gym bag and break his hand?

Paging Caron butler...
Why is vinny still playing 8-10 guys?
And why does their entire offense consist of Paul going 1 on 5 and hoping that he makes something out of nothing? Just a basic high low offense (like what Memphis is doing) would be a better offense than vinny's. while I agree some of the clippers have sucked (like Jordan) vinny's offense sure doesnt make things easy.

VDN is a turrible coach.
Any team he isn't perfect for, though? LOL...
I'm still not convince you need a maxed up PG to win a title though.. someone who can dish, drive and shoot would suffice IMO
Not really. His matchup is easy right now. Boozer played well for Utah in the playoffs, it's just when he hit that Gasol/Bynum wall is when he faltered.
What wing on the Clippers should be playing 30+ MPG. I think going with the deep rotation is the best move.
Also, you have to have skilled big men who can pass to run what Memphis runs. Jordan/Griffin/Scrubs can't run that. Clippers need their big men to step up and get physical and put Memphis in a foot race. Griffin being hurt really ruins their chances though.

I watched like 10 seconds of the last lakers/spurs game. I threw my head back, laughed at the sky, and then changed the channel back to Full House.
Next game at my hut..

Cp3, Crawford, butler, Bledsoe, and maybe a little Barnes (fouls, fatigue, etc. no more than a few spot seconds here and there) should be their 1-3 right now. If Crawford isn't already playing 30+ he should be. Big shot doesn't have anything left in the tank. He's another "vet" who is playing way too much. Gotta go with matchups. If I were vinny I'd be trying desperately to speed this game up. No more big shot a lil more of Bledsoe and a lot more Crawford.
No more Jordan. Play turiaf. And, if griffin were healthy id try small ball with griffin at center and odom as the stretch 4. That could do the trick possibly if griffin could walk. Is he even going to play next game?
Spread things out ala golden st. and try and run Memphis to death. It might not work. But obviously their current strategy isn't working either. Gotta mix things up. Try something new. Can't keep doing the exact thing over and over and expect different results.
Go small ball vinny. Try and spread them out and force big z to play defense. Nothing would scare him more than having to play defense out of the paint. On the flip side, help out the smaller defenders on big z. There's no reason not to. Memphis doesn't have the 3 point shooters to burn you
The problem isn't trying to stop gasol and big z. They will find ways to score whether it is posting up or rebounding. The issue is the offense. For as good as big z is on offense he is equally as bad on defense. Yet, the clippers haven't been able to exploit that. I know from personal experience that sometimes the best defense is a good offense. No team in the nba can stop their big 2. But you can force the issue and score on them. Especially on big z. Tire them out. get one of them in foul trouble.
