The Lakers in 5.

There is no low post presence on the Clippers. Gasol and Howard would control the whole game.

[AirTupac]

Lakers in 6 (the very max)

Lakers will kill the Clippers. The only thing that will make it a contest is if Pau Gasol does his annual rendition of the ****** monologues.

Either team could win. Lakers starting 5 look very good on paper, but I don't trust it. That team has chemistry issues and they are implementing a new offense. The Clippers when "on" are incredible and can kill you for everywhere.

Clippers would make it competitive, mainly because of CP3. However, their incompetence at interior defense would be heavily illustrated by pick and roll action between Nash and Howard and the overall post-play of Gasol and Howard.

Howard has his way with DJ, and decimated him last year. Like, embarrassed him. They had to switch Griffin on to Howard by the fourth quarter, which was effective. However, with Ryan Anderson as the opposing power forward, one who plays predominantly on the perimeter, Coach VDN had the luxury of making that adjustment.

Putting DJ on Gasol and Blake Griffin on Howard would spell trouble for the Clippers. Aside from Dwight and Bynum, the bigs DJ has the most trouble guarding are Duncan, Gasol types. Bigs with elite offensive skill-sets, supreme foot-work and the ability to either post up or hit a 12-footer.

In all, I say Lakers in 6, with CP3 and Dwight/Gasol being the most impactful players in the series.

Lakers in 5 or 6.

Clippers have one main advantage at the point guard position, but the Lakers are joined the bigger team and have a lot more experience on their roster to let this series go the distance.

lakers pretty much destroyed clippers in head to head matchups last season, and that was with no bench and no pg.


clippers pretty much didnt upgrade much if at all ( losing Kmart,Reggie Evans, Nick Young, gaining Odom,Crawford,hill)

lakers added an entire bench plus huge upgrades at pg and upgrade at center.
