At the very least, this ought to be a very entertaining series, a lot more high-scoring that the C's have been playing against Detroit and Cleveland. I'm cautiously optmistic that they'll be able to do enough defensively to at least slow down LA, while I expect much better ball movement, more pushing the ball upcourt, a lot more crisp passing from us. I don't agree with the pundits who think a faster pace automatically means good things for LA.
