So, the Lakers are interested in Gilbert Arenas?

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.

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.

Ballin at its finest. Chris Paul was the man though, finishing with 27 points, 11 assists, 3 steals and 6 rebounds and handing the Heat their 2nd straight loss.
The Clippers and the Lakers, who beat the Jazz in overtime tonight in Utah, clash on Saturday.

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.

Ivan Johnson made a name for himself during Thursday’s Heat-Hawks triple overtime contest, which was won by Miami. Never heard of Ivan? Neither had we, but we’re a sucker for an underdog, particularly a 6-8, 230-pounder who played in the L.A. area.
