I'm just glad I'm not in LA right now. I would be annoyed by all the talk, flags, jerseys, etc.
I've been an LA Clipper fan since 1998 and that will never change. I hate our new logo and jerseys!

Even though I'll be annoyed with my friend chattin' it up everywhere, I gotta give them props for that 'ship though... simply outplayed everyone. I know it's hard for a Clipper fan to admit it, but yeah. =p

Looks like in the few people who participated in our poll, no one picked the Lakers in 5. I really thought that it was going to be a longer series. Orlando had their chances but just like in some of their earlier series they seemed to blow leads or struggle in crunch time.

The Lakers finals experience had to be a factor, I don't think any player on the Magic had that much experience with getting this deep in the playoffs. To the Lakers credit they always seemed to play good defense, except for that game where the Magic shot like 63%.

I hope that we can get our team up to championship caliber some time in the future. Our team needs to bring home its first championship and silence all the critics and haters of this franchise.

Congrats to the Lakers, Ariza and Mbenga really deserved it after all they've been through throughout their lives.

Does it annoy anyone that LA is splitting the cost with the Lakers for the parade? That's 1mil added to our deficit.. gj Los Angeles. Could've used that money for something else, but instead we use it to praise the rich. Why couldn't they just make the Lakers organization pay for it all?

Bah, our city officials aren't so smart...

The Lakers could easily pay for the whole parade just with their merchandise sales alone from winning the championship.
