FedEx Forum | Memphis, Tennessee

Game 7
5 LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS
4 MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES

[1] LAC 6-0 PAUL | MEM 6-1 CONLEY
[2] LAC 6-4 FOYE | MEM 6-4 ALLEN
[3] LAC 6-7 BUTLER | MEM 6-9 GAY
[4] LAC 6-10 GRIFFIN | MEM 6-9 RANDOLPH
[5] LAC 6-11 JORDAN| MEM 7-1 GASOL

With the Grizzlies finally pulling even again, 
Memphis gains a there shot at reprisal 

Since Grizzlies EPIC Game 1 “Kick-to-the-Giblets” 

MEM has consistently outproduced LAC’s Frontcourt – 

As we’d expect from 
MEM, the 11TH most productive Frontcourt vs.
LAC, the 20TH most productive Frontcourt

POINTS-IN-THE-PAINT
 GAME 1 LAC +16 
 GAME 2 MEM +8
 GAME 3 MEM +14
 GAME 4 MEM +10
 GAME 5 MEM +22
 GAME 6 MEM +6

The area we’d expect the LAC to make up this slack
Is w/the LAC, #1 BEST, MOST PRODUCTIVE Backcourt,

Of course CP3 makes Clips go, 
Not only was Paul weak in 4TH Quarter 
Paul only got into Lane for 2 Rim Shots & 
C Paul had Series Low’s in 
 Minutes Played: 35
 FT’s Made: 2
 FG’s Made: 4

Moreover, MEM’s Backcourt has been rapidly gaining efficiency
Especially, Paul’s counterpart, MEM CONLEY
Thought of as primarily Defensive PG (#3 NBA w/2.2 Steals/Gm) 
Conley has been Terrific from Deep

Conley’s 3-3 Deep Shooting, 
Fundamental to MEM getting Series back to Tennessee

CONLEY 10-20 DEEP SERIES (7½ Asst/Gm)

Not convinced that Paul &/or Griffin have enough resolve 
Game 7 FedEX Madhouse 
On a ZERO-SUM Turnaround, (10 AM Pacific Tip)

Griz look to be filled w/potency - Clips don't….

Grizzlies get their payback; this play MUST look square
Yet Memphis could run away with this quickly & very large 

2 UNIT

2012 NBA EASTERN CONFERENCE PLAYOFFS

Sun May 13, 2012 | 3:40 PM, EDT | ABC-TV
American Airlines Arena | Miami, Florida

Game 1 | EASTERN SEMIFINALS

3 INDIANA PACERS
2 MIAMI HEAT

Indy really lacks adequate Defensive Matchups 
For Big TWO; D Wade & King James
Conversely, Miami lacks enough BIG Defenders 
To Seal INDY’s Long/Sturdy Frontline

MIAMI will have to continue their hi-risk M-O; including an alarming 

1. Lack of HEAT Fastbreak Opportunities &
2. Lack of HEAT Points-in-Paint

THUS, Miami will be forced to continue to 
Live-die by unprecedented High # of J-Shooting

I KNOW this is ALSO somewhat Square
Just the way it looks – period
(It’d look MUCH better at Indy +9)

1½ UNIT 
INDIANA +8 (Soprtsbook)
MIAMI

½ UNIT | 5-POINT TEASER (Bet-365)
LOS ANGELES CLIPPERS 
MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES | UNDER 182
To
INDIANA 
MIAMI | UNDER 193
