4 Los Angeles 56-26

The opportunity is there to do something far more significant than worry about the unwinnable battle for L.A. bragging rights with the Lakers. You'd obviously like the Clips' chances better if KG and Pierce arrived in tow with Doc Rivers, but they've got a team now that can win the whole West.

we're ranked the highest out of any of the western conference teams.

that's a hell of a lot of praise for us imo and a disrespect to the Spurs...and Spurs only...the other WC teams are debatable imo.

somehow i think Doc Rivers isn't done with this team...and that a multiple player deal is in our future before the deadline. Maybe it's because I don't feel like there are any really good defensive players off the bench.

From the little i've seen of Doc at the clippers, he seems to have an 'all or nothing' attitude. Maybe he thinks this may be his last chance to coach a team with two young superstars. I forget the title but he is not only our coach but also has a very big say in the FO. I also think he will be pulling all the strings he can to give himself the best chance to win.
