Clippers Beat Lakers

What the hell? I wasn’t surprised at all when the Clippers were able to beat the Heat, but going against the all-star cast of LA Lakers was just a very bad joke. I mean, the Lakers had it. WE had it. But the Clippers just got lucky; and it’s too early to tell if they are actually heading to the championship or not.

Let’s just say that the Lakers were a bit procrastinated during their match against the Clippers. Why? First off, Kobe only stood up in the second half of the game (and mind you people, he churned in 40 points).

And it’s not just Kobe who played hard in the match-Andrew Bynum also led the rebounds and assists throughout the game. Chris Paul of the Clippers was the highest scorer during the match but he’s still 7 points behind Kobe.

If there’s one thing evident during the game however, it’s that the Clippers had better strategy than the Lakers. They used the same strategy they had with the Heat last January 3, but this time they started with players who knew their opponent best-Caron Butler and DeAndre Jordan-aka the defectors of LA Lakers.

But I guess the Lakers have already learned their lesson-not to procrastinate. Even if Chris Paul left during the halftime because of an ankle injury, they shouldn’t have relaxed during the match. The 102-94 loss for Lakers is not really a big deal. The next matches will just show us the team that rules the court this season.
