    With Blake Griffin out it's definitely a blow, but the team is still very deep and very talented. While a win is unlikely, it's definitely within reach if the guys play tough defense and don't turn the ball over too much (< 10 or 11). It's going to be nationally televised to boot- too bad it won't be Blake's coming out party- that'll be in a couple of games Wink. Go Clips!!!

    I wont be surprised if we win because we still have talent with Sual and Telfair off the bench. However, I wont be surprised if we lose by 38 points. 40 points if Baron davis doesnt play. If mardy collins gets extensive minutes we are doomed.

    I expect Baron to play and I pray that we pull this one out and we rain on the lakers parade

    Will all the "I told you so's" and "too bad it was preseason" and all the other condescending crap i've had to listen to in the last 12 hours from laker fans, i'm starting to sincerely hope that Craig Smith puts at least 2, preferably 3, season ending fouls on various Lakers. He's got 6 fouls to do it in. I like my chances.

    I'd prefer to see Craig scoring more than 15 points...Our winning odds would increase. I think he'll have a good game and will show his trade along with Bassy has been the biggest steal this summer in NBA trades.

    i still think we are going to play a good game. A win is definitely harder without Griffin, but it is attainable, especially if Camby is able to pay. This will be a true test of our team's character.

    Note: this was before the Griffin Injury

    _______________________________________________________


    Clippers-Lakers Preview
    By JEFF MEZYDLO, STATS Senior Writer

    The Los Angeles Lakers might be more talented now than they were four months ago when they won the NBA title. That's if they can stay healthy.

    The in-town rival Clippers hope the addition of No. 1 overall draft pick Blake Griffin will help them join the Lakers as playoff contenders again - but they'll have to wait a while to see what impact their rookie will have.

    Moments after the franchise's 15th NBA championship banner is raised, the Lakers look to open their 50th anniversary season with a ninth straight victory over the Griffin-less Clippers on Tuesday night at Staples Center.

    After going 65-17, the Lakers advanced to the finals for the second consecutive season and beat Orlando in five games for their first championship since 2002.

    Kobe Bryant, who averaged 26.8 points during the regular season and earned Finals MVP honors, won his fourth title and first without Shaquille O'Neal. It was also coach Phil Jackson's fourth with Los Angeles and record-10th overall.

    At 64 years old, Jackson feels fit enough to return for the final year of his contract and guide a team that could be better than the one that averaged 106.9 points a game - third-best in the league - last season.

    "On paper we certainly are a better team,'' Jackson said, "but sometimes it's chemistry that counts between players and how they work together.''

    The Lakers signed volatile free-agent Ron Artest to a five-year deal worth about $33 million. He switched places with playoff star Trevor Ariza, who left Los Angeles to take Artest's spot in Houston.

    Artest, who averaged 17.1 points and 5.2 rebounds in 69 games last season for the Rockets, joins Andrew Bynum (14.3 ppg, 8.0 rpg), Pau Gasol (18.9 ppg, 9.6 rpg, 3.5 apg) and Lamar Odom (11.3 ppg, 8.2 rpg) to provide support for Bryant.

    "We have the talent to win another one,'' said Bryant, who begins his 14th season in Los Angeles. "If we don't, it's because of our lack of focus or something else or an injury here or there.''

    The key could be staying healthy, something they were able to do for the most part in 2008-09, but not in the preseason.

    Gasol sat out the Lakers' final six preseason games because of a strained right hamstring, and seems unlikely to play in the opener. Odom, who married reality TV starlet Khloe Kardashian on the eve of training camp and then missed time because of a leg injury, could start in his place.

    Bynum, who missed 32 games after tearing his MCL last season and was basically ineffective when he returned for the playoffs, averaged 20.8 points in his previous 12 contests before being injured Jan. 31.

    "He's talking about wearing two (knee) braces this year,'' Jackson said of Bynum, who expects to play in the opener despite missing two preseason games because of a strained right rotator cuff and sore left hamstring. "He's talking about hopefully making the All-Star team and that's a good goal.''

    Key reserve Luke Walton also sat out during training camp with a sore back.

    "We understand the challenge of winning another one. We have to be lucky, making sure guys stay healthy and stay strong,'' Bryant said.

    Coming off a 19-63 season, the Clippers - believe they have a strong enough roster to make the playoffs for the first time since 2006.

    Before they worry about the postseason, however, the Clippers must worry about Griffin's health. The team confirmed late Monday night that the top draft pick has a broken left kneecap that could sideline him for six weeks.

    The Clippers, who ranked near the bottom of the NBA averaging 95.1 points a game last season, had been banking on the potential of the 6-foot-10 Griffin. He led the Big 12 with 22.7 points per game for Oklahoma last season while ranking first in the nation with 14.4 rebounds per game.

    Despite straining his shoulder during the NBA Summer League, Griffin averaged 19.2 points and 10.8 rebounds in those games.

    "He looks like he has a world of talent,'' said Bryant, who's averaged 24.6 points in his career against the Clippers but has been held under 20 in six of the last seven meetings. "He seems very polished. I think all he has to do is get used to the NBA game."

    Griffin feels comfortable despite knowing the Clippers have recorded two winning seasons in the last 30 years.

    "I don't feel like a lot of individual pressure to go out and do this or that,'' Griffin said. "We have guys that can do all this stuff. I just need to come in and contribute.''

    Once healthy, he may need to do more if veterans Baron Davis and Chris Kaman can't bounce back from disappointing seasons.

    After averaging 21.8 points for Golden State in 2007-08, Davis put up 14.9 in 65 games for the Clippers last season.

    Kaman, meanwhile, was a coming off a season where he set career highs with 15.7 points and 12.7 rebounds per game, but a foot injury limited him to 31 games in 2008-09.

    Despite some subpar performances from veteran players, the Clippers are encouraged by the play of their young talent. Guard Eric Gordon, the seventh overall pick in 2008, averaged 16.1 points as a rookie, and second-year forward Al Thornton averaged 16.8 points and 5.2 boards in 2008-09.

    The Clippers also traded for veteran Rasual Butler, who averaged a career-high 11.2 points last season for New Orleans.

    The Lakers are 31-9 against the Clippers at Staples Center, which has been home to both teams since 1999-2000. They haven't lost in this series since a 118-110 defeat April 12, 2007.

    Agreed. Like I said in another thread, this game should tell us a lot about how the other guys are reacting to Griffin's injury. I'm hoping and expecting to see an energized team that comes out looking to prove its good even without the #1 pick.

    OK...

    I'm really pissed off the Griffin is injured.

    I'm also pissed that Dunleavy assumed that the general public has a physicians knowledge of the microfractures associated with bone bruises.

    I'm also mad that after an entire offseason of talk, Baron still finds ways to keep fans in suspense of whether he's playing on a nightly basis. It seems like every time he get's a pimple he has to miss 5 games.

    BUT

    Call me crazy, but i think we're going to win tonight.

    Yes: Without Griffin.

    We have a few things working against us, but some sure-fire things working for us.

    Against:

    It's a Lakers home game (i know it's the same building but it still matters.) We're going to see a more motivated Kobe play more minutes then he played in the pre-season. The match-up nightmares created by starting both Odom and Artest at the same time, which will probably lead us to start Butler and Thornton at the same time.

    For:

    Pau is out and Bynum is questionable. That's their ENTIRE back-court. Griffin is out but we STILL have Camby and Kaman to throw at them, and when they have to play Mbenga and Powell, we have the upper hand with DJ and Cookie Monster. Also, the pre-season taught us a lot about the Lakers. First, the match-up of Collins and FIsher is perfect. They match each other in size and effort. Thankfully Collins is defensive-minded, so when Baron sits, we don't have to worry about fisher having a field day. Next, with Sebastian out, Farmar TORCHED us. Now we have sebastian back who's stronger and just as quick as Farmer. This time around WE have the advantage.

    ]

    If you tried the NFL links, did you download stream torrent? Most of those games are streamed through that software. Maybe that is why you couldn't view them.

    OK...

    I'm really pissed off the Griffin is injured.

    I'm also pissed that Dunleavy assumed that the general public has a physicians knowledge of the microfractures associated with bone bruises.

    I'm also mad that after an entire offseason of talk, Baron still finds ways to keep fans in suspense of whether he's playing on a nightly basis. It seems like every time he get's a pimple he has to miss 5 games.

    BUT

    Call me crazy, but i think we're going to win tonight.

    Yes: Without Griffin.

    We have a few things working against us, but some sure-fire things working for us.

    Against:

    It's a Lakers home game (i know it's the same building but it still matters.) We're going to see a more motivated Kobe play more minutes then he played in the pre-season. The match-up nightmares created by starting both Odom and Artest at the same time, which will probably lead us to start Butler and Thornton at the same time.

    For:

    Pau is out and Bynum is questionable. That's their ENTIRE back-court. Griffin is out but we STILL have Camby and Kaman to throw at them, and when they have to play Mbenga and Powell, we have the upper hand with DJ and Cookie Monster. Also, the pre-season taught us a lot about the Lakers. First, the match-up of Collins and FIsher is perfect. They match each other in size and effort. Thankfully Collins is defensive-minded, so when Baron sits, we don't have to worry about fisher having a field day. Next, with Sebastian out, Farmar TORCHED us. Now we have sebastian back who's stronger and just as quick as Farmer. This time around WE have the advantage.



    I guess we are in the same asylum...which room are you in? Wink

    Man, I really want to win this game tonight now. I just had a Laker fan come into my office (he was dropping off my mail) and say, "you going to watch the Clippers lose tonight by triple digits." I just said, "we'll see." Most of the time I just blow off anti-Clipper comments from Laker fans, but it just annoyed me today. Go Clips!

    there is a difference between losing and rolling over....

    if we lost, no big deal. As long as we play hard, and keep it close.

    if we just roll over and die I will be upset.

    I was wondering that too.

    I thought that would be a pretty cool lineup. Kaman has that nice 18 foot jumper and DJ is just a beast down low. Could be interesting though Chris could not keep up with Odom. He needs someone a bit slower.

    Hope DJ gets alot of run tonight against the fakers second unit, he can be a handful. Also of note this is the referees first night back so i hope they don't call alot of ticky tack fouls, things of that nature could slow DJ's Min's. Here's hoping for a Clipper win and ruining the fakers ring ceremony, should be fun i'm getting so excited less than an hour and half away. Good luck fellas this should be a good season. Go Clippers!!

    Pincus says yes, and that he'll probably start.

    I just asked Ralph on FB, he usually responds.

    Lawler on FB:

    Clippers start Thornton, Camby, Kaman, Gordon, B. Davis v Artest, Odom, Bynum, Bryant and Fisher for Lakers.



    Baron and Camby starting! NICE.
    Rasual got cut from the start, but I suppose it's subjective to this specific lineup.
