UPDATE: Pigs Fly as Hell Begins to Freeze, Clippers Better Than Lakers

If you've been following the Fox hit TV show Fringe you know there's another world just like ours but on another plane or dimension where things are slightly different.

Well, a giant Peter machine just blew up today and we have all now been transferred into that Alternate world.

Chris Paul is a Clipper.

As a long time member of Clipper Nation, I am in utter, jubilant disbelief.

YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN CLIP NATION!

All those years of mostly Laker fans filling Staples Center screaming "MVP" at OUR home games! People laughing at you in disbelief as you wear your Clipper gear. Really? You're a Clipper fan?

How many friends have told you they will never like the Clippers because Sterling is a __________?

So I now present to you proofs that sometime late Wed Dec 14, 2011 the entire world was flipped upside down.

THE EVIDENCE

A. The Lakers so far 1) failed to trade for Paul twice, 2) traded away Lamar Odom for a doughnut, 3) had his backup Derek Caracter blow out his knee in practice, 4) lost Shannon Brown in free agency, 5) featured this on their website: Lakers Sign Josh McRoberts, Lakers Sign Jason Kapono, Lakers Sign Chris Daniels and 6) are at this point still chasing a BIG free agent which could cost them Gasol, Bynum or both!

While...

The Clippers added Caron Butler, then Chauncey Billups, and oh yeah, Chris Paul!!!!

For all this to happen in the same offseason to both teams proves we are in Alternate world.

B. Baron Davis has a herniated disc and is projected to be out 8-10 weeks. He got amnestied and wouldn't mind playing for his hometown Lakers. I guess he read the LA Times article that said the Lakers were looking to upgrade from Steve Blake and were "curious" to see if Baron would become available. Radmonovic, Powell, and the aforementioned Steve Blake all defected from the Clippers to the Lakers and it's worked out great, right?

How in the world did we ever get rid of Baron's $65MILLION franchise death anchor? We miraculously DUMP Baron and now the Lakers are so desperate for a PG they were actually looking at Boom Fizzle the Bearded One?

Did you see that pig fly by?

C. NONE of the media reports are mentioning how CP3 will now immediately get hurt because it's the Clippers. True it can happen. But no one is writing that as the main headline. Remember when we got Blake? Many media outlets played up how "poor" Blake would have to face the Clipper Curse.

Seems to me most media reports and videos fanshotted and shared seem positive without any mention of "poor" Chris having to face the Clipper Curse. That's different. Very different.

D. No mentions in the media of how horrible the Clippers will be this year (and forever) because of their awful owner, Donald T. Sterling. It seems a professional sports team can be successful in spite of an owner of poor character. Wow, really media?

There you have it. Proofs positive that we are in AlterWorld. A world where up is down, stop means go, and the Clippers are better than the Lakers.

The thing that puzzles me after being a Clippers fan all these years

is why hasnt DTS spent money on the franchise? It is obvious the more money he spends on his team, the more money he makes. 100% of season tickets are sold for the season! Being the shrewd business man that he is, I hope he continues with this trend and we see more players open to signing with us.

Looking forward to the season!

Once He Tastes This Kind of Money

I’m sure he will spend to keep the profits rolling in.

Hmm
How in the world did we ever get rid of Baron’s $65MILLION franchise death anchor? We miraculously DUMP Baron and now the Lakers are so desperate for a PG they were actually looking at Boom Fizzle the Bearded One?

Wasn’t that miraculous, the Clips had to send a unprotected lottery pick to do it. And its a $27 million death pill.

Help us Altered Beast you're our only hope.

Still Awesome to Think The Lakers

are pillaging the scrapheap for our sloppy seconds.

by moKi on Dec 15, 2011 1:56 AM PST up reply actions  

well it hasn't been all bad

Josh Powell got a ring (or 2?) from it. Lamar Odom did too. Baron’s a good pick up for cheap for a PG starved team like the Lakers, Heat, Knicks or some veteran teams that need a good backup PG.

Help us Altered Beast you're our only hope.

Sure, he's a nice pickup when you aren't looking at paying him 13 million a year

Having too many pies and mood swings won’t cut it with Kobe or LeBron so he’d be fine there.

Bingo! Oh me oh my!

Herniated Disc, out 10 weeks

Baron just hasn’t been a serious baller in a while. He had a brief flash there last year in Cleveland where he said he was reborn, but we’ll see. Chauncey’s a significantly better pick up IMO. You could say our 3rd PG is better than the Lakers starting PG, crazy.

honestly, i would not trade our 4th point guard for anyone the lakres have at pg.

they have steve blake and derek fisher.

Thats why he wasn't getting better.

He will have to have a operation and do a fusion if he wants relief because
that’s not going away by itself. I think he’s done for the season because
when you play on it gets more aggravated. How is that trade looking now
for all you guys complaining about it.

Hey Moki

Glad to see you writing posts again. You’re a good writer. It’s a historic day. The Clips certainly gave up a lot, but hopefully things work out for the team in the long run. May Blake and CP3 enjoy a healthy season.

This is going to be my team, and we're going to rise together.

Thanks O-man!

CN is alive and healthy now. I don’t think I will need to do much writing as everything I feel is mostly being said before I can even type it in! But how could I NOT write at least one thing about this great turnaround offseason!

by moKi on Dec 15, 2011 9:51 AM PST up reply actions  

Are we now the best team in LA?

Perhaps not yet. Are the Clippers and the Heat now the most exciting and entertaining rock show in the league? Absolutely!

Personally I find the heat boring to watch. Too much lebron and wade just isolating and the other guys standing around waiting for something to happen.

by tenkaistar on Dec 15, 2011 11:29 AM PST up reply actions  

Yes

The constant irritation and even frustration of almost every sports writer completely dismissing us and dragging our name through mud is done with for now. Kenny Smith actually had to respect our team, which you could tell was difficult to him as he had to keep bringing up our past.

Hey Moki

Loved the title and you have now made me a believer in alternate universes!

It’s all a little surreal for me at present, but am looking forward to the ride.

Thanks Natedog

I can’t wait either. Only thing I’m really bummed about is the fact that I can’t afford Season Tickets anymore! I’ll just have to scream at my TV…
