Clippers vs Lakers, who you taking?

[Nike D'Antoni]

Lakers 14 - 2 with AD - Lebron
Clippers 4 - 0 with Kawhi - PG

Clippers in 5

Clippers in 4, because there will be no homecourt issue. This will be Lakers big issue.

I'd take lebron and AD over kawhi and PG all day every day.

But the clippers outside of those top 2 are better by a margin.

The only way the Lakers beat the clippers is if the clippers underperform.

Clippers if Kawhi is around. Lebron is afraid of him. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zVTU-Gd3T10

Clippers in 5 or 6.

Clippers already demolished the Lakers without Paul George... Clippers in 5.. MAYBE 6

LA is Laker nation. There'll be more Laker fans than Clipper fans.

It could go either way. I would say the Clippers because they have more guys. But I wouldn't underestimate AD and LeBron. I don't think the Clips could stop AD. And Paul George is a suspect in the playoffs.

Lou Williams and Montrezl Harrell are dangerous tho. If they perform well, that's the reason why the Clips will win. The Clips have better bench players. But if not, and the Lakers pull out or one of the role players get hot, then the Lakers.

Either way, it should be an crazy series if they meet in the playoffs.

I think the Clips will win, but who knows.

Obviously Lakers in 7 James goes crazy scoring and Davis outplay's Gorge while The Bench evens out in scoring because the Lakers are starting to hit their threes and Kuzma will help the Lakers bench against the Clippers bench and the defensive is similar but the Lakers have better shot blocking and rebounding.

Lakers in 7

[Doranku]

Lakers in 6

I can't believe two NBA teams play in the same arena.

Destroys homecourt advantage.

But maybe neutrality means the best team will win.

And of course a healthy Clippers can't be beaten.

Post Granger in the playoffs, 23/7.6/4.4 with 1.7 steals while shooting 43/37/81. Shooting splits aren't great, and he does turn it over 3.4 times a game. His numbers stay about the same versus regular season (22.5/6.9/3.7 with 1.9 steals while shooting 43/38/85).

He might not elevate his game, but suspect? Nah.

Lakers also aren't going to be able to stop the offensive unit, while Kalamian's defensive game plan has been on point thus far.

I lean clips. Better star talent because of Lou/Harrell and deeper. There could be moves done at the deadline that change my mind however

[Elosha]

I'm leaning toward the Clips. If Kawhi is playing at the level he did overall in the playoffs last year, he will be the best player on the floor. I expect AD will have some shrinkage games, he reminds me of a RS monster, but not at all a huge playoff performer. LeBron is still elite and always a threat, but Kawhi can likely cancel him out -- if Kawhi is fully healthy. PG is streaky but he usually gets up playing LBJ, and I know he'll want to beat LeBron at least once in the playoffs. Clips have deeper role players/bench. Clips in 6.

Opinion could change either way as the season progresses...

[coin24]

Lakers need a better 6th man or scoring punch off the bench. Brans playing too many minutes early on in the season.

Clippers are the only team that could stop them in the wcf, hopefully George pulls a playoff p and they get knocked out earlier:oldlol:
