Don't forget to read through the CL Guidelines concerning personal attacks and swearing.

The Clippers are going dunk all over us, and their bench is going to own ours, sorry, it's true, their bench is kinda ridiculous.

you know what, go ahead and keep losing if that gets mike brown fired any faster.

You know what it is .. bench is going to be DESTROYED

0-3

1-2

We need to getter up and start to play like a real team, it's about time to flip the switch !

Well in this moment I think its a clear loss for our team.....they are stronger as a team, they have better bench and I think they want that win more then we do.....I always have faith but in this moment I just cant see us with W

I'm not going to make a prediction for this game, especially with the availability of both Kobe and Nash still uncertain.

Metta has a big defensive assignment on Jamal Crawford. Him and Kobe can switch so that might help make up for the slow defensive rotations. But he will light it up...its up to Metta to stop messing around and do what he was brought here to do in the first place...play hard D and hit the open 3. thats it.

He's guarding Butler and Crawford i think. Blake on CP3 shouldnt be too bad. CP3 can light it up but i think this early in the season hes not trying to do that...more trying to get guys comfortable in their offense and set them up. I expect a high assist number game from CP3 and scoring around 10pts. Blake just has to keep up and bother him.


Hope to see Ebanks get some mins as he can give us that boost we need off the bench on O and D bc Jamison has yet to wake up and needs stop handing the ball off to someone on the perimeter. do something on O bc you def cant play D!

nothing less than a blowout if the defense continues the way its going...

Miss the playoffs.

Nash probably won't played in this game so that mean Steve Blake/Chris Duhon vs Chris Paul/Eric Bledsoe

WOW ! what a huge mismatches here !

if its a blowout, n the stars play 40 mins again, I'LL BE CALLING FOR MIKE BROWN'S HEAD!!!

Gonna hear some boos raining down tonight if it gets ugly...

I really hope it doesn't come to that.

Yeah, this might get ugly. Clippers are loaded and we're missing Nash, apparently. We can keep it competitive but consider our last 2 regular season games with TO's, defense or lack thereof, there is a good chance a blowout occurs.

Nevertheless, that doesn't happen, and we can comeout and play our absolute best winning this game...

We must stop regression. I predict a win.
On the buzzer perhaps :)

Should be a good game

It's looking like Nash won't be playing as he didn't participate in shootaround, which is fine by me. I'd much rather he rest up and be healthy later on.

this totally feels like a game that they are going to have every opportunity to win but when it gets right down to the clutch they will lose.

Hope I'm wrong:

Lakers 104
Clip Joint 99

I'm really optimistic about this game for some reason. I predict a win.

^^ That's what I think too Finwë. Even though we've looked like crap, even though the wrong Steve is starting, even though the Clippers have a better squad than last year . . . it's still the Clippers.

Let's get our first win.

I'm sorry but I hate it when people say "it's still the Clippers." They're not that same terrible team from a couple years ago. They have a legitimate chance to win the West, and they're a much deeper team than we are. Don't think of them as being an easy win.

Griffin or Jordan will put Pau on a poster in the first 5 minutes, making Pau play like a scrub for the rest of the game. Blake will pass the ball as soon as he crosses the half court, passing up on shots and pretending to guard Paul. Metta instead of playing D will try to do everything... and fail. Kobe will be Kobe (but will shoot too much). Dwight, i don't know. Either beast or a so so game. Brown will do, what we all know he will. Play Jamison few minutes at the 3. Keep Meeks and Ebanks out of the game and all the other great coaching/stuff he always do. Safe to say it will be a loss


Or, im totally wrong and we'll kick some serious a**, firing on all cylinders

Bill simmons HATES KOBE. lol I used to listen to him on the radio. He clearly likes lebron much better. May not show it on tv though. So I LOVE it when magic, wilbon, and especially jalen( who drools over kobe), give kobe respect.
