Battle of Los Angeles (Clippers-Lakers Game Blog 4/12)

[trueD]

Yeah, I wouldn't rule out the Lakers losing their last two games by default...because I think Seattle and Sac would just want to take it to them because they're the Lakers...

but it's highly unlikely Lakers miss out the playoffs at this point. But after looking up the records by this week. It's certainly possible. Lakers still haven't clinched yet!

but the window of opportunity is dependent on two teams at the same time, so they're probably comfy.

Exactly, all three teams--Clips, Warriors & Lakers--are dependent on the others losing. The only real advantage L.A. has is that they only play three more games, the others have to play four. But they could still muff it. Gonna be a fun week!

The whole fishing thing always makes me laugh. Thank God the Spurs are never on that

i just finished watching this on tivo (traveling)...i was laughing at halftime because after hearing kenny and chuck's comments about cassell, i was thinking that cassell might just get it together and show them that he still had it in him in the second half...nice to see the clippers come back and win this, lakers have some work to do before the playoffs, terrible play in the second half

Clips aren't dependent on others losing. Neither are the Lakers. If either one wins out, they're in.

GS could win out and still miss the playoffs if the Clips win out as well.

Kings can screw things up for the Lakers, Clippers, Warriors and Hornets in their last 4 games.
The Laker fans are going to be going nuts on the call-in shows tomorrow!

Lakers and Clips BOTH still have to play the Suns. Probable loss for both of them. Golden State's last tough game is with Dallas and possibly at Sactown. I'd put my money on GS.

You can about the east all you want But that was two bad teams I watched last night.

Will Casell start tonight?

"Will Casell start tonight?"

I'd be surprised. Probably like last night, Jason carrying the majority of minutes, with Sam closing. I suppose Sam needs some game conditioning, and they want to preserve his fragile self for the playoffs.
