Geez, don't stand there and watch Paul shoot the three!

Hill is back to clanking balls and this is getting blown open.

The lead is 20 and this one is just about cooked.

Game over.

 

[Retroram52]

We have given up 70 points at the half. This could be a 140 point game by the Clipjoint.

Pathetic so far.

If Lin is wondering why he isn't a starter, all he has to do is look at his defense for the last couple of games.

 

[Retroram52]

Well. I think I am going to check back in later. I have some things to catch up on.

The Lakers are Apollo Creed and the Clippers are Ivan Drago

This one went into the toliet in a hurry. Blow-out. Just as I supected.

I was kind of questioning exactly what people see in Clarkson but it's clear that he has a ton of talent, he just needs to put it all together. A much higher ceiling than previous PG's with youth that the Lakers have had. Once he gets some experience and maybe a bit more confidence, I think he could be a pretty damn good player.

Lakers get blown out, another step towards a top 5 pick. We really need Johnson back, without a true SF then this team is basically an assortment of patchwork lineups.

I've been saying Clarkson has potential in this league since watching him in the summer league. He's very athletic. He has a good looking stroke. Decent handles. Love how he attacks the rim. In time he'll learn to slow down and let the game come to him.

I read a story about his father being diagnosed with cancer last winter. Jordan was projected to be a first rounder at that time based on his play. His production declined after learning about his father's diagnosis and he subsequently fell on draft day. He's looking to be a steal at #46.

When he finally gets some confidence and develops, he'll be on par with the Steph Curry type players of the league.
