well, the way im looking at it may be a little different.
ok, so its no secret i hate the lakers, right? never liked them. same with my dad.
and, more so, this is coming from an l.a. man. thats my hometown. i love it. i miss it. ive somewhat recently moved from there so i know all about the town is all about the lakers. well, its more a dodgers town really, but thats another story.
but, ive grown up with the lakers and the clippers in my hometown. and the clippers were never ever ever a conversation team. in fact, they have always been a joke. like, seriously, a proper joke.
where im standing, im just happy that the clippers are finally getting some love. i mean, honestly, no team in the NBA has been such a fucking joke than the clippers. they share the lakers court for god's sake. thats really REALLY gotta suck balls. and to never, ever, ever get close by another team in the same city? fuck man, i feel bad for them.
correction:
felt bad.
and now, the tides are changing. lets be honest, they are up there. they arent dead fucking last. they are decent. they are exciting. they have some fans now. AND they even have plenty of front-runner/fair-weather fans too! thats when you are a REAL team!
when you have clipper "fans" saying, oh, ive been a clippers fans for years.
my ass. my fucking ass you have.
now, im not a clippers fan. im a suns fan. yeah, they're shit. but a fan is a fan.
but what im proud to say is im happy for the clippers. im happy that l.a. has a new team to cheer for that aint the fucking lakers.
with the bullshit that derek fisher pulled, i mean, fuck him too. fucked up MY basketball season over here in AZ even. now i dont get to watch a single fucking phoenix game, but, again, thats another story. you know how many games ive seen this year? 3. three fucking games. bummed them from someone with satellite.
with all due respect, im not picking a fight at all, so know that.
im just saying, the lakers are being out-shined. on paper or not, wins or not, the people, and most importantly, l.a. fans, are looking for the clips to continue their long awaited for and long deserved climb up the ranks.
its truth, man. we want the underdog to win. lakers are falling apart members wise. they are re-building. re-building takes some serious time. look at my suns. since they lost amare (that liar!), they havent been able to do shit about it except have a couple shity seasons so far while contracts are paid, and money is saved. and now nash is gonna bounce too. fucking sucks. and we will lose hill. we wont have a team for years now. i was hoping for griffin but hey, the clips are building a team. and they are not done yet.
but yeah, i do believe its time for l.a. to have a new team. and i think the clippers will continue to rebuild on a decent team thats fun to watch. win or lose, they are fun to watch.
thats just my prediction.
