1. Are there lessons to be learnt tonight if this is, in fact, the Clippers’ First Round opponent?
J.D. Evans: Well, the Grizz have to play LAC and the Warriors, and Portland has to play Denver. I don’t have analytics data to support this, but it’s pretty unlikely that we’ll have a Memphis/LAC series. I also doubt either coach will be willing to give much away, so I’m going to say no lesson, on two counts: one, the series won’t happen, two, even if it did, neither team’s going to be running any interesting stuff.
