LOGO WATCH BEALE Street Biz...the GRIZZ can get the #3 Seed in the WEST as they host the #4 Seed CLIPS...The NUGGETS own the Tiebreaker but the CLIPS could also get #4 #LACvsMEM #CLIPSbiz #GRIZZbiz #NBATV

This is the biggest game of the year for both the Grizz and Clips up to date as they both have ideas of getting to that #3 seed in the West as the Nuggets sit in that slot. The Nugs lost to the Mavs last night opened the door for either the Clips and Grizz to move up in the West Standings and be more of a threat in Winning Time.

the Big Parcel Drop...the Fed Ex Forum on Beale Street

Lob City CLIPPERS @ Grind House GRIZZLIES

PLAYBOOK
A lot of variables in this one as the Grizz have not lost in the Fed Ex Forum since before All-Star Break. They are the best Defensive Team in the Logo and the trade for Tayshaun Prince has even solidified their Defense even more. The Clips on the other hand have been hit or miss down the stretch and they still look a bit off track compared to what they were a few months ago.

CP3 and Mike Conley Jr. should be an interesting match up as they both control the tempo for their teams and CP3 dominates the Orange. Which PG will force their will on the other will play big part in who wins in this one. The Grizz also have lock down defender Tony Allen as he will get Jamal 206 later in the contest at the two guard.

The front court is where a lot the action will happen as DeAndre the Lob City Giant and the BLAKEshow will tackles Z-Bo and Gasol. Who controls the offensive glass in this one will also determine which front court is beating who. The 2nd Units on both teams are really good with the Grizz' Unit coming around with the emergence of sixth man Jerryd Bayless of the Grizz. Both he and Jamal 206 will be trying to do their thing late as it gets close to crunch time.
