The old and the new.
Add the Clip Joint to the elimination tour. The Spurs, who haven’t lost a playoff game, completed their sweep tonight and strolled into the Western Conference final.

She’s not with him because he has money is she? Didn’t think so.
You’ve probably seen Jimmy Goldstein courtside at NBA games throughout the season. And you’ll probably see him again tonight during Game 4 of the Thunder-Lakers. What’s his secret? Glad you asked.

One of these days an NBA club will rally from a 3-0 deficit and capture a playoff series. But don’t expect the Clippers, who blew a 24-point lead today against the Spurs, to be the 1.

Shooting Bricks
-
Clippers 82, Grizzlies 72.
The Clip Joint prevailed despite shooting 38.5 percent compared to 32.5 percent for host Memphis. That should be some flight to San Antonio.
This Twitter gem by Frank Isola of the N.Y. Daily News: “In the last 12 years, the Clippers have reached the second round twice. The Knicks? Zero.”

This gem from the Twitter account of Laker fan Gary Collard: “If the Lakers lose tonight and the Clippers win tomorrow, does David Stern lock up Executive of the Year?”

Lost Cause
-
If the Clippers were going to win their series against the Grizzlies, they needed to win Friday night’s contest in L.A. Instead, they came up on the short end of a 90-88 setback. Give them credit though. The Clippers came to play, but injuries to Chris Paul and Blake Griffin and numerous missed opportunities cost them dearly.
Game 7 is Sunday in Memphis. As we mentioned before, pencil in that Spurs-Grizzlies 2nd-round matchup.

Remember Marc Davis? He’s the NBA official Rajon Rondo bumped in Game 1 of the C’s-Hawks series. Davis is at it again with horseshit calls.

The Clip Joint seemed to be in control of the series against the Grizzlies until Chris Paul and Blake Griffin came up lame. Got enough in the tank for Game 6? If not, it’s back to Memphis and the grind for Game 7.

Clips And Save
-
Clippers 99, Grizzlies 98.
Not to burst Dick Stockton’s bubble, but we’ve seen better comebacks with more on the line. Stockton, who worked the game with Chris Webber, said he had never seen a comeback in the NBA playoffs like the 1 the Clippers mounted against the Grizzlies Sunday night in Memphis. Webber never said anything, but he surely had to be thinking about how the Lakers rallied from 24 down to beat his Kings as Robert Horry nailed a his famous 3-pointer at the buzzer in the 2002 Western Conference finals. The Kings haven’t been the same since.
In this classic, the Clip Joint rallied from 27 back as the Grizzlies were giving a clinic. They led by as much as 24 with 8 minutes left before the bottom fell out. Nick Young’s 3-pointers down the stretch inflicted the most damage.
Game 2 is Wednesday in Memphis.

Our Pick: Thunder
-
We said it back in December, when the NBA season tipped off. Everyone and their mother picked the Heat, the favorite to win it all, while idiots like us took the Thunder.
The smart money says the Heat, and we get that. But for credibility sakes, we can’t change horses in the middle of the street. Can’t do it.
Our only reservation about the Thunder is Kendrick Perkins (and Russell Westbrook not getting out of hand and shooting them out of a contest) matching up with some of the big men in the Western Conference. Against the Heat, though, it’s even money since they don’t have a significant presence inside either.
So here’s how we see the playoffs playing out. Happy trails.
East
Bulls over 76ers in 6; Heat over Knicks in 5; Pacers over Magic in 5; Hawks over Celtics in 7.
Semis: Bulls over Hawks in 5; Heat over Pacers in 7.
Final: Heat over Bulls in 7.
West
Spurs over Jazz in 5; Thunder over Mavs in 6; Lakers over Nuggets in 7; Grizzlies over Clippers in 6.
Semis: Spurs over Grizzlies in 7; Thunder over Lakers in 5.
Final: Thunder over Spurs in 7.
For all the marbles: Thunder over Heat in 6.
