Am I the only one excited for the chance to play the clips

In the postseason. Would actually make it a rivalry along with the fact that the clips actually have a decent team for the first time in a while

I do like beating on the clippers like any good Lakers fan.

I was hoping we'd face them during the 2006 playoffs. That would've been one epic series.

I'm more excited that Mitch took all the possible "lob city" publicity away from Donald Sterling...Again

Definitely. Didn't Drew and Pau have more lobs than the Clips last season?

It would mean both teams would be able to sleep in their own beds for the entire series at least

Now imagine the same play but with Howard finishing around the rim 8-)

I doubt they get to the WCF if that's what you're implying...

what gets me is the blatant bullying that blake griffin gets away with on pau. Like it or not, blake is one tough SOB, and he at times pushes pau to the 3pt line. However, with DWIGHT . . . YES . . . WE GOT DWIGHT . . . there is simply no way they allow anyone 1 on 1 with him down low, thus opening up gigantic opportunity for pau to can his wide open 15 footer.

Western Conference Semifinals is very possible.
Lakers as the 1 seed (maybe)
Clippers as the 4th or 5th seed.

HOPEF..Well, if they win, they would play the Lakers. That's assuming we don't face plant and lose in the first round.

I think the Clips would have taken us that year in all honesty

WHAT IN THE HELL IS GOING ON?

Why has there been so many Clipper threads lately. Even ESPN is pushing articles on whether or not the Clippers can beat the Heat in the finals. It's like I"m in the effin twilight zone.
