Everybody should read Lee Jenkin's SI article (Finally it's Hip to be a Clip)...
Long but filled with historical detail.
Laker fans think the CLIPPERS ARE.....
A JOKE, fun to watch have potential but really….the CLIPPERS…lol theyre a great team and trust me there fans finally deserve a good team to root for! Wait the clippers have had many good teams but nothing ever becomes of them.
Win a few playoff series then you might not be the laughing stock of the NBA anymore…
Championships, na it’ll never happen! not he Clippers especially as long as DUMB ASS is owning them. Sorry clipper fans but atleast you have a team to feel proud about now :)
Stay classy.

Please leave.
These jerks don’t get it. The 2008-2009 season or any past seasons WILL NOT help you win the 2011-2012 Championship. So why bring it up? Go back to your blog and be douches with your kind.
Come on dude are you serious?
This is the type of shit that gives Laker fans a bad rep, trash talking in real life is not like trash talking on a damn blog… You come on a blog and trash talk is like walking into someones house and pissing on them… Keep the respect… On SSR we actually had a Clipper fan come and congratulate us on the win… grow the hell up…

From the ESPN Arnovitz article and echoing what many here have said
5. It’s very hard for the Clippers to generate much offense when they have some combination of DeAndre Jordan, Solomon Jones and Reggie Evans as their frontcourt. Crazy as it sounds, Griffin is the Clippers’ stretchiest big man not named Brian Cook. You have to wonder at what point the Clippers will look to add a more offensively minded big man, because they’re barely treading water when the combined range of their power forward and center is roughly the length of a Twix bar. The Clippers can opt to go small against certain opponents, but against the Lakers, Trail Blazers, Thunder and most of the top teams in the West, it’s just not a feasible scenario, which means they’re stuck with an anemic unit on the floor for considerable stretches.
Remembers when you could buy a nosebleed ticket at the Sports Arena and end up courtside.
Nice game guys
Glad to see the Lakers won but Im also extremely happy that we had one of the best games the NBA has seen this season… Game was tough, entertaining and plenty of story lines… I think the huge difference was Pau Gasol finally getting aggressive, though i know most people have been pointing to Metta World Peace and G-Lock… But those two were doing what the Lakers brought them to do… Goudelock is a money shooter when he’s open (or he’s meant to be) and Metta finally brought Ron Artest back… Yet Gasols aggressiveness offensively allowed Kobe to work within the system better and also let Bynum garner less attention, it also free’d up our shooters on the perimeters…
As for the Clippers, they did have some bad shooting, some credited to Laker D’, but others were just simply unlucky, definitely not your day in terms of shooting… Chris Paul looked fine moving around, a step slower, yet he was still doing as he pleased on the court… I think the Clips are in desperate need of a good big man to come off that bench, yesterday it did show during certain stretches… And the Lakers are in desperate need of a good shot creator, as yesterdays win proves that someone who can consistantly perform like G-Lock did, elevates their play…
All in all terrific game guys, i really hope this is the standard our derbies live to each and everytime… Good luck for the next game clippers!!! Go Lakers!!!
