While I agree the Clips need this more than the Lakeshow, I don't think I can play them.... Looks as if Cassel will play, but who knows how much of an impact he will have. There have also been reports of Radmanovich suiting up today.... The last meeting, the Clips came in winning 6 of 7. This time they have lost 3 straight. IMo it comes down to whether or not the Lakerts can shoot from the outside.... I lean under 197, as the Clips have been on an under run recently. In the Clips last 9 home games, only 1 game has gone over 193. The Lakers have been on an over run, but IMO the Clips will slow the pace considerably & collapse in defensively, fgorcing the Lakers to shoot from the outside.
Stif- the tie breaker is in fact the better divisional record, which is held by the Clips. I have to disagree with the Warriors losing....IMO they win out. The Kings & Minny are done for the year, while Dallas likely won't risk injury to their stars 2 games before the playoffs. IMO the Warriors will be a solid bet @ Arco, the Kings just don't care.
