Preseason Game Thread: Clippers vs Lakers

Baron, Gordon, Butler, Griffin and Kaman are your starters this evening.

Gordon with a nice pullup off a beautiful screen and roll with Kaman. He’s hot right now.

Now Baron with the penetration and dumpoff to DeAndre. I’ll go ahead and predict that DeAndre’s points and boards per minute or going to be somewhere near the top of the league for centers.

At the end of one, it’s 33-22 Clippers. Lakers look sloppy in their help D and rotations tonight, but give a lot of credit to the Clippers guards, Baron and Gordon. They’re flying off the pick and rolls and gutting the defense, creating lots of easy looks for themselves or for DeAndre.

Adam Morrison, for three! Couldn’t help but enjoy that. My apologies in advance.

Lakers will go into the half with the momentum thanks to some sloppy box outs resulting in a broken play and a Bynum bucket plus the foul.

Clippers lead 60-57 at the half, Craig Smith leads the way with 15 off the bench.

Rough start to the second half for Kaman- a turnover, followed by an offensive rebound allowed, followed by an airball.
