Clippers Game Results (Part 11: 1981 vs 1973)

(11) 1981 San Diego Clippers (36-46) vs. (32) 1973 Buffalo Braves (21-61)

The rookie year of McAdoo…Let’s see if they win against 1981….Probably, as it’s doubtful the threeheaded monster of McAdoo, Kauffman, and Elmore Smith can be stopped….

Clippers Game Results (Part 10: 1997 vs. 1972)

(12) 1997 Los Angeles Clippers (36-46) vs. (31) 1972 Buffalo Braves (22-60)

Even better version of 1971…Definitely an upset.

(13) 1980 San Diego Clippers (35-47) vs. (30) 1971 Buffalo Braves (22-60)

Clippers Game Results (Part 8: 1986 v. 2008)

(14) 1986 Los Angeles Clippers (32-50) vs. (29) 2008 Los Angeles Clippers (23-59)

Clippers Game Results (Part 7: 2011 vs 1983)

(15) 2011 Los Angeles Clippers (32-50) vs. (28) 1983 San Diego Clippers (25-57)

Clippers Game Results (Part 6: 1985 vs 2003)

(16) 1985 Los Angeles Clippers (31-51) vs. (27) 2003 Los Angeles Clippers (27-55)

This is a pretty good matchup…As a refresher, read this: First year in LA! Derek Smith had 22-5-3, Marques Johnson (who came over for Terry Cummings) had 16-6, and Norm Nixon had 17-3-9. Bill Walton actually played 67 games, averaging 10-9…he’s gone by next year.

Nobody played a full year here…Brand (19-11), and Maggette (17-5) both played in only the 60 game range. Lamar Odom (15-7-4, who leaves for Miami after the year) played less than 50 games. Andre Miller though played 80 and had 14-4-7.” Looks like a pretty good matchup from that. Then add in the fact that Game One was a game for the ages (kind of). 

Clippers Game Results (Part 5: 1991 vs 1994)

(17) 1991 Los Angeles Clippers (31-51) vs. (26) 1994 Los Angeles Clippers (27-55)

Very, very weird lineups will be rolled out here…After Manning, and Wilkins were traded for each other, neither could get in the required games…

Clippers Game Results (Part 4: 2001 vs 1978)

(18) 2001 Los Angeles Clippers (31-51) vs. (25) 1978 Buffalo Braves (27-55)

Awful matchup…The only way that any of these games will be a thriller would be if someone makes a shot to make it 2-0 at the end of regulation.

Clippers Game Results (Part 3: 1977 vs 2004)

(19) 1977 Buffalo Braves (30-52) vs. (24) 2004 Los Angeles Clippers (28-54)

Clippers fans may be thinking that “yay, we get to see McAdoo”…well you WOULD…but he played only 20 games due to being traded. Only 8 players are eligible for this team…we may have some weird lineups in Buffalo…

Clippers Game Results Part 2 (1984 vs. 2010)

(20) 1984 San Diego Clippers (30-52) vs. (23) 2010 Los Angeles Clippers (29-53)

Clippers Game Results (Part 1: 1990 vs. 1996)

The moment you’ve ALL been waiting for! The LOS! ANGELES! CLIPPERS!!!!!!!!

To begin, the 1975 Buffalo Braves get a first round bye…Let’s jump right in!

(21) 1990 Los Angeles Clippers (30-52) vs. (22) 1996 Los Angeles Clippers (29-53)

Does it get any better? 30 wins and 29 wins! Let’s battle to the death! (I feel sorry for 1990…no Ron Harper….They suck!). (By the way…Bison Dele is known as Brian Williams.

Game 1

We’re treated to a thriller of a finish…Before you find out who won, I’ll give you a quick play by play. 1990 starts the 4^th quarter down 10. 1996’s lead hovers around 10-12. After 5 straight points by Danny Manning, it’s a 6 point game, but Lamond Murray hits a jumper with 8:20 left to make it 8. Then they look to rally back, as Tom Garrick hits a shot, then assists on a three from Ken Norman in the corner. 

Grizzlies Game Results (Part 8: 2004 vs 1999)

(1) 2004 Memphis Grizzlies (50-32) vs. (16) 1999 Vancouver Grizzlies (8-42)

Our last matchup for Memphis. 8 wins…even for 50 games is bad.

Game 1

Grizzlies Game Results Part 6 (2011 vs. 1996)

(3) 2011 Memphis Grizzlies (46-36) vs. (14) 1996 Vancouver Grizzlies (15-67)

This team was my bet to win the Memphis tourney. Can they beat the first Vancouver vintage?

The Grizzlies Game Results (Part 5: 2005 vs. 1998)

(4) 2005 Memphis Grizzlies (45-37) vs. (13) 1998 Vancouver Grizzlies (19-63)

Our first +.500 team!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wow! (These lineups were very hard to configure…)….

Grizzlies Game Results: Part 4 (2008 vs. 2010)

It's been a long time been a long time been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time! As you may have read, my computer woes seem unsolvable, so we are going to be posting in a sub par format...Sorry....I blame the computer. One idea I'm also looking to do is to expand this blog so it includes some other of my interests, with little special articles now and then, on stuff like music, or football or whatever. Anyone (is there anybody out there? Only I can quote Pink Floyd and Zeppelin in the same paragraph...) like that idea? Anyway....On to the matchup! (One plus...these will be coming out faster without me having to format them.).

(5) 2010 Memphis Grizzlies (40-42) vs. (12) 2008 Memphis Grizzlies (22-60)

2010 easily wins….08 is all deformed from the Gasol trade….

The Grizzlies Game Results (Part 3: 2003 vs. 2007)

(6) 2003 Memphis Grizzlies (28-54) vs. (11) 2007 Memphis Grizzlies (22-60)

We move on to 03 vs. 07…I’ll bet 07….

The Grizzlies Game Results (Part 2: 2009 vs. 2000)

(7) 2009 Memphis Grizzlies (24-58) vs. (10) 2000 Vancouver Grizzlies (22-60)

09 will win…Could it be my first failed prediction?

The Grizzlies Game Results (Part 1: 2002 vs. 2001)

This is it. The games. I’ve been waiting so long for this (I can’t believe I stuck with the previews…Four months…FOUR…And 76,299 words.). As we said before, the Griz are our first team…Basically, it will look like this: The same line that I managed to burn into your brain during the preview (the (1) 2011 Blah (82-0) vs. (60000000000) 2010 Blah (0-82)), the box scores, and maybe some words of wisdom (or interesting (read: failed predictions) I said during the previews…Let’s get it ON! (But first………………..Some more notes. We start with the last matchup I wrote previews for in the last time. Since it is a three game series, they basically alternate home vs. away, with the higher seed being home…And lastly…if you have any complaints about the way I assign minutes, please comment ((I try…but WhatIf Sports isn’t the smartest at assigning minutes…). (Here are some notes added later: Sorry about the HUGE delay. I had a bout of laziness. I HAVE done 1/3rd of the 1st round sims. This really is a pain to do, so we are doing one matchup per post. Thanks for the wait.)

(8) 2001 Vancouver Grizzlies (23-59) vs. (9) 2002 Memphis Grizzlies (23-59)

Site Update......Again

Happy Halloween! Games are coming tomorrow...Most likely, unless Blogger decides not to cooperate. One more detail: After we (slosh) move through round 1, the brackets will be reseeded, and an actual bracket will be followed...Any questions, or concerns....This is the last day to voice them!

November 1st Update: Of course, Blogger decides not to cooperate. Or actually I'd blame Word. Or Excel. The issue is with the box scores...I don't want to eliminate them to get the tourney running...I feel that that is the most vital part of the post...It serves as proof. No one is going to be able to make a belevable box score in under 30 minutes. And I don't want to waste time doing that. (The only way I could rig it was if I just repeat the game...But I don't care enough about the 1st round outcome to waste time doing that...).
