I'm a Lakers homer, but feel they are in a very tough spot tomorrow.
Lakers will be playing their 4th game in 5 nights and 2nd of back to back
Lakers may still be without some key reserves: Blake, McRoberts, Murphy
Lakers don't view Clippers as rival, but Clippers get hyped to play the Lakers (big brother/little brother thing)
Lakers struggle (due to match-up issues) at times with young, athletic (and talented) teams such as the Clippers (Trailblazers,Thunder)....especially on tired legs
Clippers are the "home" team and with all the recent excitement surrounding the Clips....will have the majority of fans at Staples Center (which isn't always the case)
Clippers will be well rested........last game being played on Wednesday.
I never bet against my teams.......just can't do it. But, this has the makings of a Clippers cover (assuming the line is 4 or under).
Hope the Lakers whoop some Clipper ass, but I don't see it happening.
