let's just jump right into it...with the Clippers getting rid of B Diddy, the Clippers will have a hard time adjusting and getting the offense together....i also expect Blake to slow down a little after the all-star break(rookies usually do, all the slam dunk mumbo jumbo as well, him n b davis were just starting to play like they've been together for years....
POINT IS...CLIPPERS SHOULD HAVE SOME TROUBLE GETTING BASKETS TONITE!!
LAKERS ON THE OTHER HAND....are another story!!! if u watched the blazers game as i did the other night you would see in the 2h they whole team came out with a chip on their shoulder(especially KOBE) and had that look in their eyes....WE WILL NOT LOSE THIS GAME!!! After a come from behind win in Portland(where they've done poor in prev years) was a huge booster for this team to get back to dominance after all the trade-deadline bullshit talk...
now onto the numbers....
the LA CLIPPERS HAVE COVERED 7 out of 10 against the Lakers....
and that does not matter...WHY U ASK?
Not only will the Lakers be fully energized and motivated to get back to the way they are "used to playing as champs"....but the refs might also help out a lil...
REFS:
ED MALLOY:
games w/ Clippers :2-8/games with Lakers: 9-1
Michael Smith:
games w/ Clippers: 1-9/games with Lakers 6-4
and last but not least:
Haywoode Workman:
games w/ Clippers 0-11/games with Lakers 5-1
that is a combined 3-28 for the Clippers compared to a 20-6 in favor of the Lakers in officating(which can't hurt)
LA LAKERS -10 for me 2night.
