to be the same. So easy to get inside on the lakers now.

And gasol looks even slower this year. He has three fouls already. I know this is the first game of the season, but I just don’t see where the rim protection is going to come from.

Without McGee and Howard, team are going to attack instead of settling for jumpers,
Which the lakers forced teams to do last season.

I imagine they will run a lot of zone in certain situations.

Clippers bench has gotten weaker. I know they got Lou, but other than that
It’s going to be interesting to see how they get bench points.
