10/29 2013-14 NBA Season Opener (BATTLE: LA): LAKE SHOW vs. Lob City Q-by-Q Reaction



4th Quarter:

Score: LAC 103 LAL 116

Call in the bench mob. Call in the bench mob. Slap the taste out of little brother. Clippers were just outplayed this quarter and our bench just ran the hell out of them. Proud of how this team competed opening night, a lot of experts expected the Clippers to steamroll us, but surprise, surprise. No Kobe? No Gasol? No Nash? No problem. Stay tuned for the full recap.

3rd Quarter:

Score: LAC 79 LAL 75

A sloppy 3rd quarter to say the least. We can't finish playing defense, rebounding the ball, giving the Clippers' 2nd chance opportunities. The note I point out, turnovers; they played an integral part in this 3rd Quarter and the Lakers committed a lot this quarter and that's just completely unacceptable. We're lucky to be down by 4 after that debacle of a quarter because with Farmar, he's speeding up that game and stretching the floor for his team to make shots.

2nd Quarter:

Score: LAC 57 LAL 55

This is closer than most experts expected and that's a good thing. Like I said, the Lakers are hanging around against the athleticism of the Clippers and Nick Young started to get going. Overall, pace is still good, I'll elaborate more on the halftime report.

1st Quarter:

Score: LAC 30 LAL 28

Alright welcome in to the first post of the 2013-14 NBA Season between the Clippers and the Lakers in the Battle of LA. I like how the team is hanging around against this young and athletic Clippers team. Pau Gasol I believe is leading the team as the top performer and he found his form early on in the game, scoring inside and even outside, we know at times Gasol can shoot the 3 ball. One thing I don't like, we can't defend J.J. Redick. He's like near perfect this game and just burning Steve Blake on all corners. So far, pace is good and we're hanging tight with the roster we have right now.
