The always entertaining Tom Hoffarth educates us on the huge differences between Laker and Clipper fans.

The Lakers could use Steve Nash in the worst way. With the exception of Metta World Peace, they don’t have much to deal though.

Even without Chris Paul, who sat out his 2nd straight game with a sore hammy, this is embarrassing for the Clippers. And they fall a game back of the Lakers, who they handled just days ago, in the standings. It doesn’t mean much now though, but it definitely was a message sent by the Jazz, who have owned the Clippers in Utah.

Is that you Boston?
Can’t believe my daughter the Celtic fan hasn’t mentioned they’ve lost 5 in a row, the latest to the Thunder and Kendrick Perkins tonight in Boston.

Maybe Mike Brown and the Lakers might want to spend more time drawing up a successful game plan for the Clippers? Didn’t think so.
A day after Brown and the Lakers were handed their asses again by the new-look Clip Joint, Brown continues to whine about a non-call on Blake Griffin when the Clipper forward pushed rookie Darius Morris on a play after the whistle.

We’re fans of Lakers rookie point guard Darius Morris. With Steve Blake out with a rib injury, Morris will show his worth. At least we think. No better stage to start than with Chris Paul and the Clip Joint tonight.

Folks are getting a bit impatient in Dallas.
Jilted lover Lamar Odom is averaging a disappointing 6.6 points and 4.7 rebounds per game with the Mavericks. On Monday, Odom returns to L.A. to play the Lakers for the 1st time since they dumped him.

Is that you Shannon?
With the Lakers’ roster, we can’t blame Kobe Bryant for hogging the rock. Probably means another scoring title for him. Hell, he could take 40 shots in our book, as long as he shares with Andrew Bynum, and that wouldn’t be too many. Other than Pau Gasol, there aren’t many reliable options for the Lakers.
Kobe’s hotline: 48 points on 18 of 31 shooting, 5 rebounds and 3 steals. He hit 12 of 13 free throws. And he committed only 2 turnovers.
Oh, and the Lakers win.

TNT analyst and former GM Steve Kerr, among others, is sold on the Blazers, who hammered the Lakers again Thursday night in Portland. They have the best mark in the Western Conference at 5-1, their only loss coming courtesy of Chris Paul and the Clip Joint on Jan. 1 in L.A. One of those 5 wins came courtesy of the Thunder, who are everyone’s favorite flavor in the West.
“They are a scary bunch,” Chris Webber said of the Blazers Thursday night on the TNT studio show.
Speaking of the Lakers…: Happy 30th birthday to Gilbert Arenas. That brings us to the Lakers. Did Jim Buss or Mitch Kupchak consider signing Arenas instead of the defenseless Jason Kapono? Didn’t think so.

Give the brother a hand.
It’s 1 thing for Mike Brown to peacefully co-exist with Kobe Bryant, but for Brown to shake off T.J. Simers like water in the shower draws high praise from us.
