Lakers V Clippers? Told you after the FIRST exhibition I thought the Clips were the better, more exciting, explosive team. MUCH more entertaining to watch. You wanna see Blake Griffine fly through the lane over people or Pau Gasol get pushed around by Boris Diaw? Chauncey Billups and his last couple years or Derek Fisher and memories of what he used to be able to do? De Andre Jordan flying over people Or Andrew Bynum sitting out 5 games for cheap shots? Metta World Suck and his glorious history and fading jump shot or Caron Butler? And when things get tough, Kobe launching 50 shots a game from everywhere this side of half court? Or.....Chris Paul slicing and dicing an opponent?
Look at the record. Heck, look at the road record. Clippers have now beaten OKC, best record in the league, gave Portland their first loss, beat Miami, the Lakers, Memphis, etc. In fact, most Clipper losseswere brain fart stumbling blocks to lesser teams.Clips have had a tough schedule and played it well. Lakers easier schedule, more home games and were 3 games over .500 going into last night.
I still love the Lakers, but the Clippers are now the better and more exciting team to watch in LA.
