start Sun Yue against the clips.

Eric Gordon is a beast.

Mardy Collins has been playing very effectively at the point for them. The guy has game. At 6-6, he'd be noice in the PnG.

Their rookie center, DeAndre Jordan, got the start the other night against the T'Wolves and blocked 7even shots and grabbed 10 boards.

Novak is getting some PT off their bench and is a dangerous 3-point shooter.

Just sayin'

As long as he keeps the tape on he'll be fine.

Judging by most comments of over confidence we'll probably end up seeing the Clippers all time best performance tonight, then they'll slowly shrink back to being the worst again.

Glad Kobe's playing because I will be at the game!

I for one think it's a good idea that he plays some minutes tonight. He has to adjust some of his play now with the "new" finger, and the Clippers and Wizards-games are perfect for that. Come Sunday against the Spurs, he will have two games of adjustment behind him.

Btw, we should DESTROY Clippers tonight. I had some money on the Clippers-Wolves game the other night so I actually watched the whole thing... man, Brian Skinner and DeAndre Jordan matched up against Pau and Bynum? Rookie Gordon going up against Kobe? I can see Al Thornton scoring 20 though, but that's it.

Gotta get some sleep now before the game starts, kinda hard being a die-hard Laker fan nine time zones away from LA

I hope this is win #2 in what turns out to be our first double-digit winning streak of the season!

I don't see a blowout, but I could see us winning 10-15 points comfortably, with playing a lot of people. Kobe adjusting to his injury is going to be facilitating, and this is going to mean plenty of open looks for Gasol and other teammates. Look for Odom and Sasha to get lots of minutes, and it will be interesting to see how Bynum comes out in this game. Gordon is an interesting cover, he is a definite all rookie first teamer. Play the shooters, let the big guys clog the lanes, we will be fine.

Lakers 106
Clipps 91

Some may disagree, but I have always liked Ralph Lawler. Seems like a fair guy. It's obvious he loves Kobe.

We need a blow out, Fisher, Kobe, and Pau all logged some heavy minutes recently. Hopefully they come out strong and the starters can sit out the 4th.

Shouldn't be a problem with the Clips starting 5 D-Leaguers.
