GAME PREVIEW: CLIPPSTERNS AT LAKERS


by Joey Ramirez, nba.com

Here is what you need to know before the Lakers take on the LA Clippers in Anaheim.

1) Slenderman can be a nightmare

Yes, it’s still just the preseason. But a small forward who can start at point guard, drop 31 points and deflect four consecutive inbounds passes with the game on the line is one intriguing player.

Brandon Ingram did all of that on Thursday night, leading the Lakers to victory by gashing the Kings’ defense with his long-legged drives, while mixing in a couple of smooth mid-range jumpers and grabbing nine rebounds.

After his outburst, Ingram now leads the Lakers in scoring (17.0), rebounds (6.7) and steals (2.0) through three preseason games.

2) LeBron has targeted 15 minutes per night

We’ve gotten a feel for LeBron James’ preseason workload. In all three exhibitions, he has played one shift in the first quarter and another in the second, totaling 15 minutes twice and 16 once.

While James hasn’t confirmed if he will play in Anaheim, he has already played as many preseason games as he did in his last two years combined.

The four-time MVP got whatever he wanted against the Kings, scoring 18 points with four assists in only 16 minutes. James — the league’s best driver — had no problem getting to the hoop against whichever defender(s) stood in his way.

And if he gets tired of this whole basketball thing, Ingram might have a future stopping pucks for the Los Angeles Kings.

3) Hart’s post defense is retirement-inducing

How difficult is it to score on Josh Hart in the post? Well, according to two-time all-star David West, it contributed to his decision to retire.

During Thursday’s game (which saw Hart stop 6’10” Harry Giles twice in the post), West tweeted that he knew it was “time to hang it up” when he was stifled by Hart on a couple possessions.

The tape doesn’t lie. The 6’5” Hart held off a player four inches taller and many pounds heavier, exemplifying why coach Luke Walton thinks the shooting guard might be the team’s best post defender.

“We feel fine with Josh guarding bigger players,” Walton said. “He loves the challenge. He gets mad if you send a double-team when he’s guarding the post.”

Back at work, YUCK! Vacations fly by. If I have time I will Post a little later. I love seeing the Clippers fall back to mediocrity and we are now once again the better team. They had every chance in the world to get a Ring in the CP3 era and totally screwed that up! They had all kinds of Good to Great players from CP3, Griffin, Jordan, C.Butler, Crawford, and Redick, etc.. and still couldn't cash in. Even have the Doc as Coach.

Looking at the BoxScore, we are losing 97-81 late in the 4th Qtr, game is over. LeBron is not playing at all tonight. Kuzma does have 15.

This one looked like a super-snoozer. They shot poorly, we shot horrendously. They sat Gallinari, Mbah and Beverly, we sat LeBron. Outrebounded by 10. Don't know what Luke is trying to accomplish in these preseason games, but I smell a very rough start to this season.

A couple of cool video clips of KCP and JaVale getting buckets.
