Clippers Cheerleaders:

Ready for my boldest of bold predictions for the night?

The Cavs will not give up a single 30 point quarter this entire game. Book it!

I think we hang in there until about mid way through the fourth quarter until the team runs out of gas due to the back-to-back and the Clips pull away late.

Yeouch -- those home/road splits for Kyrie and Kevin are not pretty at all. Gotta think it's been those two long west coast road trips that have done it.

Also, I unfortunately would not take your bet on 30 point quarters. This is the Clippers we're talking about.

Boldest of takes. Has that happened yet this year?

 

[kip stabone]

Hard to think this one won't be discouraging. Clips by 17.

 

[OhevEtHaCAVS]

If the Cavs beat the Clippers, I don't want to hear a word about firing blatt for a week goddamn it!

 

[bushwick_bill]

Cavs lose by 50. Blatt is fired at half time.

 

[Rich]

Jesus those road shooting numbers by Love. Come the hell on dude. I don't care if he's being used correctly or not, he can't be shooting sub 40% on the road.

Also, I can't wait to see what brilliant game plan we have in store tonight after last night's coaching display, which sucked ass.

 

[Jordan]

Clips are a team we should be able to beat. We matchup well against them and are relatively healthy (assuming Love plays). With that said, we are on the road, playing on national TV, on night two of a back-to-back, and should win. I think Cavs lose by double-digits, but, like the GS game, keep it close until the fourth quarter.

 

[priceFTW]

Hard to think this one won't be discouraging. Clips by 17.

If we're down by fewer than 7 after, I would be pleasantly surprised.

Also: In before Reddick hits 10 threes and Doc's boy goes for a 20/20/10 triple double.

What is with the back injuries this year?

Goodness.

 

[Andrew]

Whoever scores the most points by the end of the 4th quarter wins, book it.

If the Cavs don't beat the Clippers I don't want to hear about firing Blatt for a week

So it looks like Delly or Marion starting at shooting guard if Smith can't go. Here's to more shooting guards who can't shoot
