BATTLE FOR STAPLES LESS KOBE

On the season opener of NBA 2013-2014, the game will feature the fight between LA Clippers and LA Lakers in Staples Center which is the Home court of both teams. As expected by many, Kobe would not be in the season opening game of Lakers still due to his surgery back in April for his tendon and still doesn’t have a timetable for return.  Steve Nash would also have limited time to play and could sit on 2nd half back-to-back. Lakers having 4-4 in preseason will face against Clippers with 5-3 both winning their preseason Enders game.

Their rivalry start to buzz once again when the banner of Lakers was cover with the banners of Clippers in the Staple Center that was a call by Doc Rivers since he stated that it’s their arena when they play and it’s no disrespect to them, so it’s good to let their guys show up. Clippers and Lakers is the only team who shared home arena since 1999. Since that time Lakers was on its supremacy while Clippers keeps on struggling. It’s the Lakers who made more time and glory for the Staples with them having championships games. But now many things changed, it’s the Lakers struggling this time.

With the Clippers having Doc Rivers, who formerly from Boston Celtics and another rival team of Lakers that once snatched their title, will they now hold the glory for the staples center? It will be still a long season run, but how would the Lakers do without their Superstar Kobe? Can they rely on Pau alone?  Can CP3 run the Clippers to the finals? Still many questions needs to be answered and might give different outcome. Let’s just see what will be the game outcome in the season opener and have more conclusions and analysis afterwards.
