VS.

Tonight the undefeated Lakers (3-0) play the defeated Clippers (0-4) for the second time this season, hoping to repeat the results from last week. In other words… to kick the crap of them. The Clips will try to rebound after that embarrassing 38 point spanking as the Lakers cruised to a 117-79 victory. Even Chris Mihm was thrown into the mix to splash in 10 points.

Baron Davis looked good from the start last week, startling Kobe a few times for quick steals, quick darts to the hoop, and quick passes to his band of goons. Davis looks noticeably skinnier this season, having shed 20 pounds in the summer. He was told that every year as you get older, you should come in lighter than the year before. He might lose a little strength which made him so unique as the ultimate “power guard” but getting older usually means getting fatter.  So Davis decided to not get fat and take the Clippers seriously. I mean, they are destined for great things.

Sometimes I wish the Lakers were able to swing a deal to obtain Baron Davis, but in a Phil Jackson triangle system, I am not sure he would fit with his Run-and-Gun style. For the money, Farmar is doing a fantabulous job. He’s quick, smart, can shoot and….does Yoga!!!

Here’s a nice shot of Baron Davis prancing around being a silly boy.
