LOGO WATCH "BATTLE at FIGUEROA Gymnasium L.A."...The CLIPS take the CLIPS/LAKERS Rivalry to a whole other level...the LOB CITY Level...now Mr. BIG SHOT is on the "CLIPS Valentine's Day Massacre of Staples PURPLE and GOLD" ...CLIPS win going away 125-101

There is a New Beast in Staples and forget looking in the rafters I meant on the hardwood. The Lob City Clips are not only trying to hit Top 10 Sports Center on a nightly basis what they are really trying to do is convert LA Metro to Clips Nation. Well that won't happen but its worth a shot since the Lakers look like a Shell of their former self heading into All-Star Break. Clips dominate and win 125-101 over the L.A. Lakers.

Behind 24 points and 13 helpers from Clips Point God of Jordan Brand...CP3, Double-Doubles by both the BLAKEshow (2 pts 10 rebs) and DeAndre the Lob City Giant (11 pts 12 rebs), and 21 points from Mr. Big Shot...Chauncey Billups...the Clips roll the LAKEshow 125-101 and it wasn't that close.

Leading only 64-52 at the Break the Clips put it in Overdrive as the Lakers couldn't find 3rd Gear let alone 4th and 5th. Look at these Numbers to illustrate the Clippers Dominance in this one:

3pt FGs

Clips 16-30 Lakers 6-20

Clips 47 rebs (17 Offensive) Lakers 37 rebs

Both Teams hoot over 50%....

The Black Mamba led the LAKEshow Lakers with 20 points, 11 helpers, and 5 boards....

Clips Starters out scored Lakers Starters some 91 to 60....that's your ball game and include the +30 with the Money Balls from the Clips.

If the Lakers are to get to the Playoffs would it matter as they would face either the Spurs or Thunder? As for the Clips this is a momentum builder in the right way as they head into the back stretch knowing everyone is healthy and they will be a force to be reckon with.

After all these years Clips Super-Fan and Actor/Comedian Billy Crystal...the Basketball Gods do love you.
