Lakers struggle against fast guards, so hopefully Bledsoe gets big minutes. I'm also looking forward to watching BG destroy Mr. Kardashian.

*After this game, let's make sure to let the Lakers fans know there's no room on the BG bandwagon for them.

Anything is possible. We have been struggling lately besides that 4 game losing streak.
We had trouble putting away the Wizards last night on our home court and they haven't won a road game yet. :noway:

An plus you guys have been defeated the leagues best record wise. ( Hornets,Spurs)
The Lakers are not playing Championship ball as of lately and with alot of pride coming from both teams this should be a good one.

Pau annoys everyone because he isn't your typical banger power forward.
He is the most skilled big man in the game and when opposing teams hate you it sometimes means you respect them.
It's all good we got the most skilled big man and you guys got the most exciting big man in Blake.

Correction, Fisher is the only one who struggles against fast guards. LoL

An as for your Mr. Kardashian , he's been our MVP these first 20 games of the season.
I also expect Phil is gonna make Ron Ron guard Blake alot this game.

I've always been a die hard Laker fan through good and bad times since birth.
But an even bigger fan of the game of basketball .
I've been following Blake since his days as a Oklahoma Sooner but hey if you don't want us to support him and wish him the best I understand.

I hope Sterling makes sure he stays a Clipper. Same with EJ.

is Baron playing tonight?

I wish Kaman was healthy, Gasol is gonna make DJ get 3 fouls in 1st quarter.

Beating Lakers would mean like winning 10 games.

Really excited for this game tonight. Lakers aren't playing as well as I thought they would and we are playing much better than we once were.

I wouldn't be surprised by that, Artest is very strong, it should be an interesting matchup.

I hope the Lakers bring the best out of us, I want to see a great game.

Just realized there's 3 former Clippers on the Lakers. Seems like they always play better with the other uniform on.

Like a couple other folks on this board I'm curious as to Baron's status for this game....is he going for sure? God I hope so lol.

We always play up against the good teams, so I hope tonight is one of those nights.

Baron is on Clippers Live saying he'll play tonight, despite his hammy still hurting. Hmm...

That was a weak foul call. Another weak one called shortly after.

Griffin picks up a foul after dunking over the back of Odom.
