Lakers at Clippers (4/8/13)

In a game they needed to control their own destiny, the Lakers fell to the Clippers 95-109.  Injuries or not, the Lakers have had problems all season long with the Clippers.  They were unable to win the battle of the boards, and couldn't protect the basketball.  The result is a gauranteed loss against a team that thrives on fast breaks.  Check DancingBarry's review over at Lakersground:

DancingBarry's Thoughts and Smiley Ratings

Utah also won later in the day against Golden State.  This means that Lakers will have to win at least 1 MORE game than the Jazz to make the playoffs (the Jazz hold the tie breaker). It's going to be tough, but trust me, no one is feeling sorry for the Lakers. Nash is questionable for Tuesday's game against New Orleans. MWP is most likely out as well. 

This tweet from Kobe sums of my feelings on the matter, "#focus #zen #takethechallenge only focus is N.O #beastmode #mambasrep #lakernationstandup"

Gotta take care of business.  Go LAKERS!!!
