How do you feel about Lakers in the playoffs? 

Post#1 » by Karl Marx » Sat Apr 23, 2011 8:29 pm

With the rivalry Clippers have with the Lakers, how do you feel about Lakers in the playoffs?
Do you want them to lose, so that their fans wouldn't gloat, or do you want them to win because they are a local and represent city of Los Angeles?

I personally don't care either way. I'm sure they will have a nice playoff run and could possibly make it to the Championship. It would be nice to see someone else win it, but you never know.
I've been an LA Clipper fan since 1998 and that will never change. I hate our new logo and jerseys!

I want to see some new blood win it. 8 teams have won in the last 31 years. I'd rather someone other than the Lakers (10x), Bulls (6x), Spurs (4x), or Celtics (4x) get it.

Unless I one day have a son that plays for the Lakers, I'm not going to root for them.

I feel that Lakers failing in the playoffs can only increase Clippers fan base in the future.
So do you have a favorite team in the playoffs?

So bandwagon hoppers? :lol:

If we continue to build upwardly with Griffin and stay exciting, then bandwagoners will come. I'm fine with that, because it means that something is going right in Clipperland.

I don't have too much of a preference to one specific team at this point of the playoffs. There's a lot of great players that I'd like to see have some success.

I feel the same as thanumba2. I don't really care how well they do. Frankly, I've been enjoying their battle with the Hornets right now, but I'm fairly certain they'll get past them and possibly at another Championship.

It's kind of moot saying I'd like to see them win or lose.
