What are you talking about? The Lakers played just as hard as the Clips...I WATCHED BOTH GAMES. Just watch Kobe's body language.

As for the rest, I'm not sure why it was directed at me. I just said I think the Lakers will drill the Clips in game 1, then the rest of the season I would suspect that the Clips will get the advantage.

Deandre Jordan is my boy. He's a great guy and he is making a ton of strides but his athleticism definitely helps him out. The Clippers will be a tough team this year, but will they make the Finals? I don't think so. If Jordan improves his game tremendously throughout the season they have as good of a chance as anyone.

I agree that Jordan is a key to their squad, however, they do not have the depth to compete with the contenders. Their starting 5 could arguably hang with anyone in the west, the problem is that their bench, especially bigs, is pretty poor. It will show in the playoffs, which I do think they will make as about a 4 seed!

Let me get this straight. They lose Odom/Brown and they are a fringe playoff team? That is a ridiculous statement...how am I just now seeing this? I HATE the lakers, but as the team is currently constructed they are probably a 3-5/6 seed. Fringe? Hardly.

McRoberts is their 4th best player? Seriously? MWP, Fish, Barnes, etc... All better than McRubbish.

Had to google MWP, forgot Artest changed his name during the lockout. ;)

Did you even saw MWP play last year and this year?

BTW I'm not only one saying this things, lots of commentators and journalists are saying the same.

Take the blue pill and believe whatever you wanna believe.

Pretty solid performance from the Lakers(all things considered), guess we'll see how the clips look in just a bit.

And was their a travel by Deng on the last Bulls possession? I missed the end of the game, but a friend of mine was complaining about it.

Deng was air bound when he gave up the ball. I don't know how/why they didn't double Rose that was poor team defensive but it made my holiday richer! Go Bulls and Clippers! Happy Holidays all.

Hmm, just watched the last few minutes and I'd have to agree on the no travel. Didn't like the foul called on Kobe though, the one that made it a 1 point game, but them's the breaks. Opinions from a kind of Lakers fan(while my Jazz are irrelevant)

Positives
-McRoberts, Ebanks, and Murphy- all played well and I liked what I saw. Plus that young guard, can't remember his name.
-Kobe's wrist injury didn't seem to slow him too much.
-Team seemed to buy into Brown's aggressive defense, especially in the second half.
-MWP wasn't in as bad as shape(my opinion) as everyone seemed to be saying.

Negatives
-PG's played pretty bad, really need someone to take on more ballhandling responsibilities from Kobe
-Pau, didn't think he had a great game, from what I saw had quite a few situations where he got the ball in the post and did nothing.
-Why was Kapono signed if he's not gonna play... Barnes too. (And put Luke on the coaching staff already)

+1 on the observation. Darius Morris is the rookie PG that you forgot. The Lakers are restricted by their guard-play so I can see why stealing the ball from Kobe was almost easy. If Lamar Odom was an option the game would have a much different out come.
