Tonight I decided to turn on the Clippers/Lakers game to help me fall asleep (FYI: League Pass has a free preview this week). I wish you could have seen the look of horror on my face when I saw this Clippers STARTING lineup:
PG: Mardy Collins, averaging 4.9 pts/gm (the man can't even score 5 whole points).
SG: Eric Gordon, averaging 13.1 ppg he's actually god (I'll admit, my "o" key has been giving me trouble lately, but when I tried to type "good" I kept messing up and typing "god" ... it happened twice ... it's doesn't give me THAT much trouble.
SF: Al Thornton, averaging 16.5 ppg My story is starting to unravel.
PF: Brian skinner, averaging 3.2 ppg That's better.
C: DeAndre Jordan, averaging 3.1 ppg Wasn't he too big of a pussy to play in the Big-12?
If you add up those point totals, those starters only give you well under 85 pts. Throw in a decent bench, and you've got yourself about 61ppg. That'll win you some high school games. Imagine how bad they'd be if they still had Elton Brand.
I understand they've gotten killed by injury, but I seriously believe that team would get beat by the And-1 guys. DeAndre Jordan was born to have balls dunked in his mouth.
*** Update: I posted this around the second quarter, so I thought it was important to note that Andrew Bynum scored 42 pts ... in 158 career games, he's surpassed 20 points only 9 times. His previous career high was 28.
