their first playoff senes in five years and Chris Paul skipped practice The All-Star guard whose December trade helped propel the Clippers to 40 wins their most since sat out Friday wdiile recovering froma strained left groin that sidelined him during their btf regular-season game Paul said hell be ready to go for opener in Memphis where the Grizzlies closed strongly by winning 11 straight games out an road is always he said "But as they always say the series hasn't started until somebody loses at home So we need to go and try to get Game The Clippers sure need him Paul averaged 193 points and 87 assists in helping them win two out of three against the Grizzlies arrival just before the lockout-shortened season began has led to a dramatic rfuHigw in the fortunes Besidesthe playoffberth he and Blake Gnmn gave the team two starters in the All-Star game for the first time and the best winning percentage in franchise history the attitude and the way we go about doing things now is completely different" Griffin said expectation is obviously to make the playoffs but we're not just OK with that Now it's about standing and fighting and pushing ourselves to regularly be in contention for championships" The team had won just 29 and 32 games respectively in the previous two seasons BIASOTTI from 1C Oklahoma City Thunder (2) Mias Mavericks (7) Oklahoma City has the best roster top to bottom in the league But Dallas is a terrible matchup for them The weaknesses inexperience carelessness with the ball questionable late-game decisions from both coaches and players make them vulnerable to a smart veteran team like the Mavericks Still I think talent will win out and I think lightning will strike twice for DaUas PredktkMC Thunder in 6 Los Angeles Lakers (3) vs Denver Nuggets (6) Like the Thunder the Lakers drew a bad matchup Even without Derek Fisher the Lakers are an old slow team with a thin bench Denver has youth depth and speed to spare The Lakers though have the three best players in this series As much as Fd like to see the brand of team basketball prevail over top-heavy approach I see it 1 Lakers in 6 Clppen (5) This is the one to set your DVR for There are some great matchups in this series starting with high-flying Blake Griffin and his stylistic opposite ground-bound Zach Randolph Neither one has any hope of slowing the other one down These teams are so evenly matched that when the Clippers lost to the Knkks their second-to-last game of the regular season losing a shot at home-court against Memphis it i have cost them this series the main reason Memphis Grizzlies in 7 EASTERN CONFERENCE Chicago Bulba) vs Phl-ftdetpMa76ers(8) The Sixers pretty openly tanked their last couple of games to drop in the standings and face the Bulls instead

"We slipped up a little at the end of the year with Chris having a little bit of injuries the last couple secandyear coach Vinny Del Negro said overall done a much better job winning on the road and the playoffs will be no The Clippers will continue without Chauncey Billups who went down with a season-ending tom Achilles tendon on Feb 6 That might have been a fatal blow in seasons past but not this year Billups has stayed around the team encouraging the younger players many of whom ha ve never been in the playoffs before including Griffin "You see a lot of teams that make deep runs have a lot of playoff experience they have a lot of veterans" Griffin said "We need to make up for our lack of experience in the playoffs with hard Griffin figures to be involved in one of the key matchups
