Being a clipper fan I was as happy as I could be given the injury situation.
There was no doubt that the only three "real" clippers who saw time outplayed their laker counterparts. The threesome of DRe, Maggette and Pike outplayed Fisher, George and Kobe (for MOST of the game). What can I say about Dre Miller except he is the real deal. He made a fisher (a good defender) look below average. Pike shot the ball nice, and despite some of his typical turnovers Corey really did his thing.
As for the lakers Rush looked promising as did Pargo or whatever his name was, they both shot well. George started off nice too but dissapeared and Kobe didn't really show much.
I think Dre miller will be hands down the best PG in the league this year alongside Kidd. The west had better watch out I can't imagine the kind of damage a lineup of Miller, Q, Odom, Brand, and Kandi could do, but I guess were gonna have to wait and find out.
I KNOW its only preseason, but after watching Dre play with a bunch of scrubs and looking like the allstar he is (against Fisher who was playing him like it was the playoffs), I think the clips will definately finish in the top 4 IF!!! everyone can get healthy.
Oh yeah and if any of those free throws are made in the second half the game wouldn't have even been close (pike actually missed two in one trip).
