STICKY!! Rivalries 

Post#1 » by ws26 » Fri Dec 5, 2008 3:12 am

Hey, I'm gonna write an article on rivalries and I wanted some feedback.
I was hoping that you could give me a list of the team you would consider your rival, scale that rivalry 1-10, and your most hated player in the league (on any team).
Thanks.

The teams I feel are rivals with us are:

Lakers (obviously)
Nuggets (ever since that playoff series)
Warriors (It's always been more like a.. who's team sucks more rivalry. >.>;)

Most hated player... *drumrolls*

I would like to say Lakers but this team isn't even in the same galaxy as them right now so there is no rivalry and hasn't been for years.

Right now I would say Philly. 10/10 because of Benedict Brand.

Lakers are the main rivalry.

But I do agree with guyver about Philly.

Lakers. It may not be balanced, but if it's all about that, then we don't really have any.

Most disliked players for me are Kobe, Brand & Shaq (although, now not so much).

I agree with everyone else, but I also think the Warriors are a rival. Maybe not for the team and its players, but for the fans. There are so many freakin Warriors fans at the Clippers vs. Warriors home games it makes me sick. I've gone to a Warriors vs. Clippers game each season for the past 6 years and there is always half the stadium filled with Warriors fans.

I guess the lakers are our rivals, but its not much of a rivalry if 1 team keeps losing.

I hate Kobe lol and Sasha Vujacic

Like many have said before the Lakers, I would also be the Nuggets in there, and even the Suns a few years ago. Maybe I just felt that it was a small rivalry against the Suns.

Kobe always does damage against us so he's our most hated player.
I've been an LA Clipper fan since 1998 and that will never change. I hate our new logo and jerseys!

imo Suns just because they beat both LA teams in 7 games. Our series with them was actually really fun to watch since it was like they win a game, then we win a game. Back and forth.
If the Clippers win the championship next year I'm getting banned from RealGM

Lakers
Philly

This may be a shocker but with all the contreversy behind Wade and our win in that game I think a feud will start out of it Clippers vs Heat.

-MD bashes Wade
-Wade stating they were cheated and our win was a pretty much a fluke
-On top of that once Livi gets healthy it will reall get interesting.

Clippers vs Heat should be good.

Melo

1. Yes
2. Yes
3. Yes (kinda like the Saints and my Atlanta Falcons)

+1: Spurs - in the last few years we've gone toe to toe with the spurs, winning about 1/2 the games. Elton always outplayed Duncan. Always a good matchup. Maybe it still will be, once we get our act together.
