Kobe is looking very "spry" the last two games

Bynum vs DJ ... 40 and 20 rematch

Pau vs Griffin should be fun

Lamar will shut down Blake Griffin again

Kinda early start time. Been getting used to all these night games.

I'm happy for the Clips. I've always wanted them to do well and it looks like they have a bright future ahead of them with Blake and EG. They may be able to make a move or two before the deadline to really get them set for next season. I definitely see them in the playoffs next year. The Lakers will always be my team, but I'd love to see a Laker/Clipper WCF someday.

Griffin is undersize to handle both Bynum and Gasol. Expect the Lakers to put a lid on the young pup.

Hope the Lakers start the second half of the season better. From now till the end of January, it's gonna a be a tough stretch: Clippers and Thunder back to back, then Dallas, Denver, Utah, Sac, and Boston to finish off the month.

We can't realistically expect them to win all those games, but lets hope they will not lose too many, especially to the above .500 teams.

If they Buck Foston at the end, that would be f%@king sweet.

Gotta be careful with first quarter. Clips dropped 44 and 35 vs Miami and Warriors last two 1st quarters. Lakers were flirting with a loss vs. Warriors and Nets, so they have to come with with stronger effort in this game, cannot let Clips keep is close enough to steal it.

Clippers are a decent home team. Not that it matters if the Lakers are on the road against them.

This one's got me worried. Clips have been playing well lately and they've got a lot to prove in this game. Plus, correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems like the Lakers often play poorly in day games.
