Last night's exhibition game - Lakers vs. Clippers - lots of highlights were shown on ESPN...
BUT -- Zach did not get into the game - mostly because the Lakers struggled the whole game and were getting embarrassed by a clearly better Clippers team and they didn't want to pull their starters!
BUT -- this game had a whole lot of interesting features...
-Metta World Peace (Ron Artest) had an incredibly BAD game going 0-8, 3 pts & 2 rebs
-Kobe had a bad game - seven turnovers, and he even fell and appeared to injure his left wrist but didn't come out.
-The Clippers played this game more like an exhibition - with nobody logging anywhere near 29-30 minutes and pulled away easily in the 2nd half despite playing tons more minutes with subs..
-Then, one play surprised me -- on a wide open break, Blake Griffin took the pass of the board and slammed one home must to the delight of the crowd....
this is exactly what the fans paid for and wanted to see - and he really didn't showboat, yet one of the refs T-ed him up for "hanging on the rim" -- gimme a break!!! Everyone hangs on the rim in the NBA -- this was really bogus and must have been some bug up the *** that the ref had against Griffin!
