Clippers better hope that Lakers don't get that 6th seed...the way DH and Kobe have been playing, they will beat the Clips in 6 games...no doubt about that.
I'd like to see Blake try to posterize Dwight...DeAndre won't be doing any more Brandons....
Poor CP3 will exhaust himself trying to carry Clips.
I just don't see the Clips beating "this" Laker team. Kobe won't let it happen.
Have they improved THAT much since the OKC game (the last one I saw)? Their defense looked atrocious in that one. They haven't exactly been playing the cream of the crop in this little win streak they had since the OKC game.
I'm interested to see what happens when Gasol comes back. He had problems finding a role and fitting into the system before he got injured. Interested to see how he integrates with so little time left in the regular season.
That's the thing...OKC has the Lakers number, no doubt about it. They have no answer for Durant/Westbrook.
But the Clips? I just believe they still have holes - especially down low.
In a grind it out 7 games series, you need "something" down low...not just dunks.....they need meat and substance up front.
That is why CP3 coveted KG so much. Glad he chose BOS.
The way the Lakers are positioning themselves, I'm guessing they will draw the Clips, and they will send them packing.
Pau? At this point I hope he's satisfied with the bench.....one part of me would LOVE to see him cause hate and discontent, but another part of me is still wanting to see Kobe make the post-season.
I'm just shocked tht both D'Antoni and Brown couldn't figure out a way to start DH and Pau...Pau hasn't dropped off that much, but he doesn't seem to figure into the Laker's future.
