A few observations I made during the 1/5/13 meeting between the Lakers and Clippers.
1) Like the Black Mamba said recently in an interview, Lakers are "old and slow as hell". This was apparent at virtually all positions against the Clippers. Not only are they old, but they are healing from injuries as well. Slow and hurt will not win you many ball games.
2) Pau is the slowest big in the L right now.
3) Clippers D is for real. CP3 is an underrated defender. Matt Barnes is a hound on the perimeter. and Blake Griffin is a tough defender when he sets his mind on it.
4) CP3 is top 3 finisher in the game now. As cold as the Rockies...
5) D'Antoni's offense works on spacing, ball movement, and player movement. Lakers struggle particularly with the third because of #1.
6) Transition defense killed the Lakers. Go back to #1. Most teams will give LAL problems with this, including teams like OKC, Miami, and probably even Golden State.
