Lakers Vs Clippers... Oh Wait... Trash Talk Goes Here.

valid points across the board here...

on one hand, they aren't worth the time of day, and i understand the desire to turn your back to this thread.

that being said, you reap what you sow... nobody feels bad for them except poor skip... the aftermath of their failed campaign will keep me satiated throughout this entire offseason.

 

Reminds me of 2011 Heat. They got embarrassed. They also came back with a vengeance in year 2 though. They still won't be able to handle AD, imo thats the difference.

 

yeah, my issue with the clippers is the way they pretty much crowned themselves champs before the season even began. and their fans followed suit. both parties did nothing but talk talk talk. meanwhile, the lakers actually focused on basketball and look where that got them

i really don't have any hate for the clippers like so many lakers fans do. probably because the teams aren't real rivals and have never met in the playoffs. those early 00s clippers teams with miles and q-rich were fun to watch. and i was rooting for them in '06 when they had a good team

their fans just don't seem to know their place. they started talking sh*t when they became a contender in the early 2010s and this season it was 10x worse. but it's hard to take anything they do or say seriously when their entire franchise history has consisted of nothing but losing and early playoff exits. i mean come on, they've never even made it to the WCF

 

their fanbase consists of kids/teens who grew up during the lob city era, east coast transplants who grew up hating the lakers, and people who thought they'd stand out by cheering for the clippers

 

With Hollywood taking a hit I think we'll be seeing less people move here for "business". So the Clippers' fan base is going to take a hit. For transplants, the Clippers are like a fast food franchise - cheap and convenient when they're far from home, but disposable when they're disgusted by them.

 

covering the lakers banners was 100% doc. he couldn't stand to look at that 2010 banner every game. now that he's gone, i wonder if they'll keep covering them

if they do, they're gonna need another selfie to cover the 2020 banner

 

Not enough ways to say how much I love that. Suck it Balmer, Clippersnake, Beverly, Harrell and Not-ready-for-prime-time Paula.

 

haha this aged well. still funny how he called out dudley for caring about injuries when he plays with mr. load management

 

The 2011 Heat made the Finals, and had LeBron James. Things were always going to improve.

 

Yeah how do they fix that? Load manager can’t lead anyone with his needed less work and game play than any other teammates, and that dour appearing charisma-less personality .... and Paula if he even survives and doesn’t get his a** shipped out is not a leader either. He pisses teammates off and is conversely fostering division among his teammates with his personality. New coach, turnover in personnel and no natural leaders in their star players. They still have huge problems in those regards. So damn Beautiful!

I actually felt like they crowned themselves a dynasty. They walked around so obnoxious like they were the Warriors. Patrick Beverley even said as much to Steph Curry.

 

Just move to another city ...

 

I'm sure Bron and AD used it as motivation. The insult here was thinking Wayoff P was near AD's level as a player whereas there is a gigantic gap .

Plus an inside - out duo will always be a better fit than a wings duo and they oddly thought the contrary

 

Shannon us the one who stuck by LeWin. Props.
