SCOUTING REPORT

The Clips aren't completely terrible on defense (though statistically worse than the Kings): L.A. has the No. 10 defensive rebounding squad and doesn't foul much. For the Kings, it's about getting clean looks near the rim and from deep, and not turning the ball over. Gooden's not a very good defender, and Kaman's overrated on that end (though he can block shots from the weak side and rebound).
