Sat. 1/14 - Lakers "@" Clippers - Predictions & Comments

Wow, first thing I agreed to from these Clips announcers tonight: how do we not let the "two most powerful bigmen in the game" not get a touch?

Pau's impersonation of Nowitsky has left town!

Game.

Too much run for this group... they are tired and the bench isn't going to help......

The two (tired and lack of boards) go hand in hand

I like how Morris isn't backing down from CP3

I hate it when Drew and Gasol just get pushed around and out hustled. so ugly to watch.

Double-teaming Kobe off the ball? Bout time for someone else to step the F*** up

Maybe we would rebound better if we rewarded the bigs more...just saying

Morris showing CP3 what's up and draws the foul.

It's definitely one of the good things to take away from this game.

This is definitely the most frustrating game this season

I like how the ref waited until the last possible minute to blow the whistle.

We're + 6 on the boards in the second half.....

please give the big guys some ball....this is stupid way to play

After this game, I am in the "throw Morris to the wolves" camp

Halfway point of the fourth. We can get this done if we play smart. Get the bigs involved.

I'm not too frustrated now. I'm glad the Lakers have shown us something. I'd like to see them win, obviously, but I'm not sure how much is left in their tanks.

good point. I thought coach Brown would be man enough to make Kobe do that. Less run out transition dunks after Kobe bricks, more fouls on the other team's bigs, more confidence and energy with the bigs when they are fed, and on and on. Instead - it is let's see if Kobe can shoot 33 times to get 35 points. That is exactly what many other teams' coaches want.

If he would have lost it out of bounds it would have gone the other way and been a turnover. Since he kept possession the ref, you know, had to call the obvious foul.

We're closing this one out with a bang...
