Lakers vs. Clippers and Andrew Bynum news

The Lakers face the Clippers tonight and find themselves two games behind the conference leading New Orleans Hornets who they play Friday night. In a perfect world, the Lakers need to not only win, but put the Clippers away early so they can rest up for the showdown tomorrow. However, looking past an opponent usually results in a loss. Then again these are the Lakers little brother, and although they want to win, the thought of a couple of more ping pong balls for the lottery isn't a bad idea either.
