Clippers needs a real Center….Strong big man that can protect the rim and get some more rebounds

Its interesting to see how when the Laker have ruff patches they need to be worry or need more than the Clippers….But when Clipper were struggling early January we were told that we shouldn’t worry or swept under the rug. I’m keeping notes

Best closer ppl forget about is RAY ALLEN. He shots better than reggie miller at the 3 point line

When Pippin speaks, you better listen. He (and his wife) know all about Future.

Why don’t they just put 5 more stars on the Lakers so Lebron can get all of the credit?

Lakers need to load manage Danny Green if they are not going to trade him and give some of the other shooters a chance to play more minutes. Start Kuz in his place and give him more plays.

I’ll tell you what the clippers don’t got.. A big man, Dwight, Javale and oh Yall forgot Boogie cousins Who gon be ready to ball come playoff time. Thats scary.???? Lakers can score and they deffense Is solid, 5th in defensive efficiency. And king James Bruh!? So whats this clippers talk?
Huh Man

Bron has miles on his legs and has had more responsibility thab those other “closers”. I saw plenty of games in Miami and his time back in Cleveland where he had those teams up a good amount…hit the bench while Bosh/Wade/Kyrie was on the court and the lead evaporates and he has to come back in and handles things

Pip doesn’t get respect like he should…Yes MJ is the GOAT, but without Pip, he wouldn’t have won all his rings. Just the facts!!!

Soooo 37-11 and #1 in the west, but dont close games? I think in a 7 games series they would only lose to two teams. Bucks is one and the other is clippers if klaw a pg are healthy.

And Mr. Pippin is correct. The Lakers do not have a No Mercy mentality.
