Honestly... I have no idea what the heck the Laker lineup will be. They have their SFs out, and I don't think Odom has played that position since his LAC or perhaps MIA days, and Morrison has got to be a last resort.

Anyways, let's see if my 4 game winning streak keeps on going.

I'm going to assume that Artest will be back in the lineup. Clippers also have a 4 game home winning streak going. I'd like to see both streaks go to 5

I'm sure most people have seen this already, but check it out if you haven't.

If Ron Artest and Pau Gasol are out, and we can keep this shooting consistency up while limiting our turnovers, I'd say we're overdue for a win. We got good chemistry heading into this game, so I'm pretty excited. This should be a fun match-up.

Kaman needs to step it up against Bynum, who seems to own him every time we play them.

If Gasol and Artest are really out we should play with the same defensive plan like the Blazers game and double team Kobe like we did it with Roy. Sure they've got more talent then the depleted Blazers around, but at least we'll make those other guys beat us.
Oh, and whoever is being guarded by Kobe needs to be heavily involved on offense, to make him work even more.

Anyways, let's beat those guys...

It's gonna be a tough one, but I'd go so far as to say it's a must-win. We gotta make up for losing that game in Portland, man. Plus, we've lost so many games against losing teams, we gotta start picking up W's against teams with winning records. And if we're gonna do that, this would be the time. The lakers have a few injuries, and I *think* they're catching us at the wrong time. The Clips have played excellent team basketball for the last 2 games, lets hope they keep it up tomorrow night!

TO's will determine a lot.

Kind of wish Gasol was playing because with him out the Lakers are going to play Odom at the 4 and he will kill Camby.

I think Ron Artest is going to play tonight, so that would probably mean he'll play against us.

I say its up to Baron for us to win this game. If he puts at least a 20-10 and less than 3 turnovers, we'll get this game.

I agree, but if Kobe goes for 40 like usual, then I'm not sure if 20-10 will be enough.

Please,Please, Please let the Clips beat the Lakers. I want to DRIVE all over the I.E. with my Clipper Car Flag flying proudly!!!!
Please let me annoy all the Laker Fans in the I.E.

plz CLIPS can you humble these damn FAKER fans!

I hope to catch the last half of the 4th quarter tomorrow. It was horrible today. I did an introduction speech in my class, and there were at least 4 people that said they were Laker fans. I was the only Clipper fan there. D:

Baron and Kaman are definitely the keys to winning the game. Baron has to play big against their average back court(minus Kobe), and Kaman has to play like he isn't afraid of Bynum. He really does get manhandled when facing him on the defensive end.

No Pau. No Problem.

This San Berdu gal would very much appreciate if you did

My condolences to the loved ones of Rory Markas.




I want to see Kaman come out and have a strong game. He often lets opposing length get to him, but has been able to turn it around after adjusting. I hope he's prepared early and can come firing out the gate. He's got too much talent to not hold his own, so it's all about being focused.

Baron shot a miserable 1 for 10 in the 1st meeting of the season. He's shot over 50% in 4 of the last 5 games. He's going to have to step up the plate and lead this team. I'm more confident in his ability to do that this game than I was at the beginning of the season.

Gordon has had ups and downs since returning from his injury, but he has looked more like himself in the last 3 games. He just needs looks, because he can easily go off at any moment. His teammates can't afford to freeze him out.

Butler and Camby need to keep playing how they have and it would be nice if we could get something decent out of Al and the rest of the bench. The team needs to put up a strong effort on hitting the boards and doing whatever they can to limit their turnovers.

The Clippers and Kaman need to make a strong statement (one that we can appreciate ).

It's on the Clippers home-floor, if that is worth anything. But they don't have Gasol so I think the Lakers are in good shape and can get a victory. The clear weakness on the team is no back-up shooting guard, I really would like Dunleavy to make a trade and move Devin Brown to our line-up. It would be nice to get someone consistent off the bench.

Lakers Line-Up:
PG - D. Fisher/J. Farmar
SG - K. Bryant/S. Brown
SF - R. Artest/S. Vujacic
PF - L. Odom/J. Powell
C - A. Bynum/D.J. Mbenga

Clippers Line-Up:
PG - B. Davis/S. Telfair
SG - E. Gordon/R. Davis
SF - R. Butler/A. Thornton
PF - M. Camby/C. Smith
C - C. Kaman/D. Jordan

Both teams are not full-strength and the Clippers can win this game. It would be a nice win going into Sunday against the Miami Heat.

Huge problem is Odom at the 4 Camby won't be able to guard him

wow this gms on ESPN. i didnt know lol

You can thank Blake for that.
