Well thought out and written article. Every win by the Clippers is constantly ridiculed by haters in the form of Sterling is a racist, horrible owner, cheapskate, etc……reminds me of the same writers/haters that contended early on that Vinny would be the demise of the team now he’s up there for COTY. It’s as if people are unable to change ever. Being a Clipper fan since the SD days and a STH for 12 years I would always defend my situation by simply stating that at some point Sterling would open his wallet and build a team that would contend.

Now that he has done such and the Clippers are better than even what the most optimistic fan would have guessed the haters have moved on from Vinny and focused exclusively on Sterling. I’m not a fan of Sterling per se, however, I’m capable of recognizing what he has done lately and look to the future and not just focus on the past.

Although I know that can never truly happen as 90% of the Sterling haters are Laker fans that in their ultimate wisdom fail to recognize that without Sterling the Lakers could not have been bought by the buss family. That’s right look it up. Not to mention, asking Laker fans to focus on the present and not the past would require them accepting their dynasty years are truly over not to return for some time. It would also require them to quit using “we got 16″ what does your team have comeback. Just in case you Laker fans were not aware, the first 5 were won while in Minnesota and (correct me if I’m wrong) there was a whopping 12 teams in the league at that time. A one in twelve chance, hmmmmmmm. An 8% chance of a chip just for showing up to play. Compared to a roughly 3% chance today. Basically you were three times more likely to win back then versus now. So by virtue of that “math reality” being a team that got its start well ahead of so many others gave you a major leg up.

Clippers & OKC will be contending for the WCF for the next 7-8 years. Get used to it.

Clippers 106-Minnesota 92 final for the game tonight. 3rd road win in a row without CP3. This should have every team in the league on notice, oh by the way our starting 2 guard comes back the beginning of February. Bring on the finals.

Josh Smith? Their contracts don’t come close to matching up.

Not only are they having a “decent season”, they are having a season to remember in Los Angeles. I haven’t seen this kind of dominance since the early 00′s. Manhandling opponents with ease on the road. If you want to claim staples as LaLaLand then you need to consider who the real owners of the building are, the Kings, whom they built the place for and are reigning champions of their respective league. If the Clippers do in fact win the title this year (and im not suggesting they will) then the Lakers would actually be considered 3rd wheel heading into 2014. Lakers fans can clamor to their 16 championships. It’s just hard for them to comprehend becoming second fiddle in basketball for a few months, so much, their heads are spinning off their necks. It feels good, and the Lakers fans tears are so delicious.

oh boy…every dog has its day (season). please, the clippers are FINALLY having a decent season. lets not go overboard. you cant erase decades of crappyness just like that. Lakers may suck and the clipshow is going great but please remember that LaLaLand is Laker territory.

anyway…good the Paul and the Clippers.I’ll be rooting for them.

Oh, we care. We’re just having so much fun right now ragging on your overpaid, over-hyped, overage, overrated Lakers that we haven’t gotten around to spending a lot of time on teams that are actually, you know, GOOD.

Great article, it’s truly unfortunate this team is owned by Sterling. In the back of my head I’ve just got this bad feeling Sterling’s going to find a way to ruin such a great thing.

And this, my friends, is why i dont want to hear about “PBT needs to post more articles about the Clippers”. Only two comments at this point on a pretty decent article…..yet a article about Kobe telling lebron if he wants a cookie has 50. Sorry Clippers fans, nobody cares.

How many combined allstar / playoff / finals appearances does their bench have? Very impressive veteran depth.

Great article. I hope CP3 is a leading candidate for MVP this year; if not, he should be.
