Wed. 12/21 - Lakers @ Clippers - Predictions & Comments

Why are you guys hating on Blake so much? lol. If he was doing that in a Lakers uniform you would be all over him. I remember everyone laughing and praising Artest for flexing after that and 1 last season. Who cares? Dudes having a great game, let him enjoy it. Yes, its against Troy Murphy - but thats not his fault.

Also, I am happy with the performance today. Blake had a great game. Andrew Bynum played great. Kobe-less Lakers, 21 TOs (Thats Fisher!), and we lose by that much? I honestly thought it would be a blow out so am good. Murphy showed me he can shoot the ball, same with Goudelock. Really happy with Ebanks though.

All good.

Artest is a confirmed ruh-tard so we have to smile, laugh and move on. Blake on the other hand is a flopping, crying, child, who needs refs to bail him out while he is showboating vs. our third string PF.

Meh, I don't give a F about the loss. Lakers showed VAST improvement which is what matters during the preseason. Brown messed around a lot with rotations. I mean given how Ebanks was ballin' to start the game do you REALLY think he'd have sat him for the last three quarters if his concern was beating the Floppers? Furthermore...no Kobe. Oh yeah, and when Gerald Green is on the floor...Hahahahaha, you know Brown didn't care.

It's such a bummer that Bynum has to sit out the first five games. He's really impressed me in these past couple games.

No more preseason right? Is the next game Christmas v Bulls?

Aren't you the same dude laughing at Gerald Greens fingers? I am not talking to you. Need to speak to someone more mature.

If we don't have Fish's late second quarter turnover fest and don't start the third with Green at the 2, we probably win.

Way too many turnovers, way too sloppy, and too many times guys not knowing what to do with the ball in the offense.

I call this the "Accidental Offense". Our passing is craptacular, our bigs get great position, but no one on the perimeter knows how to throw a decent post entry. Our best passer out there is Pau right now.

We have one of the top floppers in the league in Fisher lol... If Fisher had any type of offensive game, with his flops - he can put up 10 ppg with his flops.

Good game considering no Kobe, a turnover margin of 22-6 in favor of the LAC, our bigs not getting the ball much in the late 3rd Q and 4th Q, and still getting accustomed to a new O that was learned about 2 weeks ago. Still need to improve defensively. But some some good out there.

Yep, exactly.

Blake makes Tim Duncan look like a non-flopper. Seriously.

Two bigtime punk arse flops by Griffin today. One against Pau, and one against Barnes. How can you respect that? From a star too. LOL. Then all his "clutch" play against the formidable defense of Troy Murphy?

I do. It's his level of arrogance that has magically risen since Chris Paul has landed in L.A.

It's downright disrespectful to the game of basketball. Who flops, gets the call, and smirks about it?

Fisher is a guard, and he's not a superstar like Griffin. Griffin is supposed to get freakin awesome.....why is he floppin like a little vag?

But 98.99% of the NBA doesn't glow with a sense of pride afterwards.

Its usually a bad thing when you say the other team wanted it more. But not in this situation, the Clippers were playing their starters down the stretch (Minus Billups) when the Laker reserves (Plus Bynum or Pau) were mounting a comeback in a preseason game.

We got outscored something like 20 - 4 when the Gerald Green experiment was going on. Take that out of there with that lineup Mike Brown had out there and we are beating these guys with mostly our reserves vs. their starters.

No Kobe, no Morris, no Ebanks (after 1st quarter), new offense, new defense, wacky rotations. I think tonight is nothing but a positive for the Lakers. Clips played their best 10 guys, we were playing our top 15 guys (minus Kobe, Morris, Caracter).

Let those tryhards take the preseason, I like what our team has to offer right now. Get the rotations set, get everybody back, get the Brown system down and let's roll.

geez man, lighten up.

Personally, it's hard for a Vlade fan to bag on anyone for flopping.
