Result: Loss
The Clippers weren't sharp in dispatching the undermanned Thunder, 93-90, at home last night.
The Clippers will be less rusty tonight against their long-time city rival the Lakers. The Clippers are 7-1 in their last eight games against the Lakers winning the past three by an average of 35 points. They will make it a special point for new owner Steve Ballmer to bury the Lakers, who embarrassed them for years.
The Lakers were terrible during preseason averaging just 86 points during their last six exhibition games. Their poor play and startling lack of talent has carried into the regular season where they have lost by an average of 19 points to the Rockets at home and to the Suns.
The Clippers have a vastly better bench and a huge edge at point guard. The Lakers have yet to find a consistent No. 2 scorer behind Kobe Bryant.
