That Vince Williams Jr. play was peak 2023 NBA. Williams had a wide open lane, a wide open layup when in the air he seemed to remember that two was less than three and landed before he could find someone to pass to. – 12:48 AM

Russ found Theis for a dunk to jack lead to 21. LA then just played brain dead:
– Norm fouls Roddy for a 3-point play fast break
– Russ passes up a jump shot to throw a bad pass in paint
– Smart corner 3 from Vince Williams Jr.
LA lead down to 96-81 with 10:20 left. Timeout LA – 12:28 AM

What a turnaround for Paul George in this third quarter. At one point he was 1-for-11 from the field, but he ends it 6-17 after making a double-clutch 3 while falling out of bounds to beat the quarter buzzer. Great sub by Tyronn Lue to get PG in the game when MEM turned it over. – 12:21 AM

Great job by Russ to rotate, chop feet and close out on Trip above the arc. Zu forces the missed field goal, Russ gets the board, pushes the pace, gets it to Amir
Amir gives the people a two handed dunk. Great work in all 3 phases (defense, special teams, offense)

Yeah the Tillman decision was not a good one. No FGs for Grizzlies in first 3 minutes of 2nd half, and Clippers go on 10-2 run capped by important shots for Amir (3 from PG) and T Mann (layup after PG steal)

I wrote this morning about how Xavier Tillman Sr.’s offensive numbers this season are much lower than for his career. He’s been trending better as of late. With that being the case, he is probably the better starting option right now.

Look out for a lineup change from Grizzlies.

+9 with both on bench, esp. with Trip finding some success against Zu. Either Vince Williams Jr. or David Roddy seem like logical 2nd half start options. – 11:48 PM

Paul George, Terance Mann, and Norman Powell have missed all 11 3s that they have attempted.
TMann’s struggles are what they are until he strings games and makes together. PG/Norm have to regress to mean if LA is going to win, esp. with Harden minutes WAY too high (22:49). – 11:43 PM

Rockets 63, Sixers 62 at half. Maxey with 27. Season high for a Rockets opponent is Jaren Jackson Jr.’s 44, also with his team’s best player (Ja Morant) out, as Joel Embiid is tonight. VanVleet with 17, Green 14. Rockets hit 7 of 14 3s, but have 10 turnovers. – 9:10 PM

Ty Lue said Kawhi Leonard’s hip injury was a reaggravation of a fall he suffered earlier in December in Utah that he’d played through. Kawhi isn’t cleared to participate in practice yet, Lue said, adding he worked out post-practice yesterday. – 8:54 PM

I first met Joey Meyer in 1979. He served as an assistant to his father, Ray. He played ball at DePaul, was drafted by Buffalo (Clippers)—took over as HC in 1984-85 was National Coach of the Year. I hosted his TV show, did radio pbp and spoke with him daily during the season. – 7:38 PM

The victory cigars were lit right after this. A 10-win Memphis football season. A lot to celebrate. pic.twitter.com/zBcSQEhTN4 – 7:19 PM

Memphis missed its shot to put away Iowa State with that big third down conversion and the missed FG. But stopping that 2 point conversion was big. 36-26 Memphis with 9:55 to go. – 6:18 PM

This is as good as Memphis football has looked this year. Tigers have Iowa State in a 36-13 3Q hole. They’re faster than the Big 12 team AND they’re controlling the line of scrimmage. Wow. – 5:46 PM

First quarter belonged to Memphis. Second quarter belonged to Iowa State … until a nifty fake kneel down that turns into a 21-yard run by Blake Watson in the closing 35 seconds sets up a 49-yard FG. 22-13 Memphis at halftime. Been a good one so far. – 5:04 PM

Memphis halftime adjustment: Have someone (anyone) cover Iowa State’s Jayden Higgins. – 4:52 PM

Memphis defense is making it clear if Iowa State wants to move the ball, it’ll have to do so through the air. Cyclones averaging just 2.1 yards/rush, but they’re up to 176 yards passing (and more than 19 yards/completion). Memphis lead has been cut to 19-10. – 4:39 PM
