I think Reps for the Clippers, catch drunken stragglers from Laker games, left alone in the parking lots and take them to the woods. Or they get picked up in fake Uber or Lyft. They get let loose after they have been "Clipper Washed".

They watch the regular season games. The Clippers have played a fast, exciting style of basketball in the regular season.
The playoffs is when they have a hard time attracting new fans and they probably lose fans they gained during the regular season. I'm sure people get tired of their choking and just give up. |

Along with laughing at them, let's sell one of their major free agents on a vision and get them to move across the hall to the Big Boys Table.
Or both.

And then at next year's trade deadline, ship him out for an even better package a la Aroldis Chapman for the Yankees. |

They just discovered basketball within the last few years and jumped on the perceived bandwagon. I am amazed at the ones that claim they're fans only because they feel everyone else is a Laker fan like that no talented actor from Malcolm in the Middle. |

The pretty obvious answer is cheap tickets. I know a lot of people deny it but they probably been to a lot of Clippers games because the tickets were almost free.... |

| Donald T. Sterling pretty much destroyed the Clipper brand...playing at a 2nd rate arena in the LA Sports Arena and then being the 2nd tenant at the Staples Center, all while racking up decades of mediocrity. Even new ownership in Steve Ballmer hasn't changed the brand perception of the Clippers. They pretty much gotta do what the Patriots did in the NFL, win often and win championships to change your perception of being a loser franchise. |

Mediocrity?
The team that was once labeled the worst in all of major sports?
If it wasn't for lucking into Blake Griffin, this team would still be a perennial loser lottery franchise it has been.
Oh and Clips suck. This needed a bump cause you can never laugh enough.
Bye.

Clippers are not well liked around the league for their whining b---tching and moaning. Not a lot of tears when they got bounced. They need a good perimeter shooting SF and should replace Griffin, so they can free up the middle of the lane.

They have to opt out to get more money and a longer contract. If they get injured next year they are literally leaving millions at stake. |

True. Most overrated coach of all time in any sport.

If both guys leave, what would that do to the new arena plans? Watch them get nixed, which means continued sharing of Staples. *puke*

No it won't change their plans. CP3 will be retired by then and Blake Griffin will be 35. |
