I thought he lost the locker room people are saying...
Why would they play real hard to have him keep his job?
Only motivation I can see is that they want to save face at home after only covering 1 of the last 8 @home... plus they are playing to keep a playoff spot.. they might actually attempt to play defense
this all doesn't matter if they are trying to get rid of the coach.. just look at what happened with Portland the game before they fired their coach.. this could be one of those situations..
they tank the game.. fire the coach.. and then Clippers cover their next 5 in a row.. it just seems like there is something going on in that locker room and there are rumors flying around everywhere..
Now for Memphis.. they have slight revenge factor, even though they didn't get blown out.. Losing and not covering once already this season at staples center...
In that game you had Mo Williams who had a big game, who will not be playing tonight, and you had Billups still in the lineup... Also Memphis was playing without Randolph..
So last game you had Memphis losing by 7 and the line at Clippers -3 1/2... now they open it at the same number and it is moving down?!?! With all these advantages in the line up versus last game for Memphis?!?! Also betting public is all over a Clippers with all the drama surrounding the team right now..
I have a feeling this game is going to be really close and come down to the wire and Memphis at least pulls out the cover... I like it at 3 though so I will probably watch line movements hoping it comes back or buy it up to 3.. Anything could happen though..
BOL today
Now that i re-evaluate the situation I see that I did make an error in that the line moving down makes sense pertaining to the difference in teams since last matchup.. money all over clippers doesn't support it though... I don't like this factor at all... seems really shady.. might end up no play now for me
