They exist so we LA folks can try to see our team when they come to town. Can't touch Laker's tickets.
I don't know about you guys, but I forget there is another team in LA until my team plays them. They are right at the threshold of not sucking enough to make the news (Like the Lions), but they are never good enough to make the news either. They seem to be stuck in the lottery, and I can't imagine one rational Los Angelan (if that's a word) that would choose to be a Clippers fan. I mean I root for the Cleveland teams because I was born here, and I still question why I do after every season of a particular sport. I can't imagine how I would feel if I chose to root for a perpetual loser over a team that wins that happens to play in the same arena.
So why does this team still exist? They sign players on the tail end of their careers (Baron Davis), they never develop any of their lottery picks- all they do is suck. Why don't the Clippers move to Seattle and suck there? Atleast the Seattle fans would be happy they have a team.
I don't get it, someone explain this to me

I don't even think there exists a person that is a 'Die Hard' Clippers fan
It's funny, I look at their roster every time the Cavs play them and it's a handful of guys I've forgot about for the other 364 days of the year. What prompted me to ask this was the Eric Gordon news, I remember him from college but I had no idea where he was drafted. Playing for the Clippers is like falling off the face of the earth
I personally think The League would benefit enormously by cutting 4-6 teams. The Clippers would be a good place to start. Followed by OKC, MIL & CHA.
I think Oklahoma City will be good in a couple years- maybe not good in basketball, but they will make money because there is nothing else to do in the winter in Oklahoma (not that there is much going on the rest of the year). I think it will turn into how Portland is where they rally around their only pro franchise.
I agree. But I don't care for Oklahoma or the way in which they acquired their team and therefore I'd just assume the Thunder not do well or not even exist. Though, you're right, just like any other small market team with a 100% corner on a city, they'll probably do well.
There's no diehard Lakers fans either, just celebrities, bandwagons, Kobe fanboys, and trolls.
UHOH WHERE U @ LAKERS FANS.
MY roomate is a die-hard season ticket holder for clippers. You hear a lot of frustration when he watches the games
but hey they allow for me to watch games for cheap and have nice seats, so keep them there!
has he ever told you why he chose the Clippers over the Lakers? That is the thing I can't understandMY roomate is a die-hard season ticket holder for clippers. You hear a lot of frustration when he watches the games

Billy Crystal is one die hard Clippers fan
, even I who got to watch the NBA only the Bulls area in Europe, am a Clippers fan. I like them. I like Al Thornton, I like that there is another team than the Lakers and I think that the Clippers will be better once the season advances. I went to San Francisco once, and I have to say there are a lot of Clippers fans out there, and I hope they will make the playoffs.
Cuz he's not a bandwagoner. Anybody who became a Lakers fan after 1984 is a bandwagoner.
Agreed
The Lakers should move back to Minneapolis and let LA have the Clippers to itself.
Darrell Bailey aka “Clipper Darrell” says you OP.

They should move to somewhere else in SoCal kinda like the Angels, so a city could support them. I bet Anaheim would love an NBA team.
Since when is Anaheim or any of the L.A. suburbs in Orange County distinct from Los Angeles? It's a half hour from Staples Center.
Maybe they should move back to Buffalo.
Angels have fans. It's about 75/25 as far as SoCal, and that's pretty damn good for a team that didn't get here first.
because being the second team and a perennial loser in a big city still generate more revenue than being the only team in the middle of nowhere

Bingo.
While I've never met him, my friend Joyce swears her boyfriend is a die-hard Clippers fan.
And the same goes for the NFL. It's time to end the misery of the Detroit Lions and maybe the Raiders.
boy, i bet the players and staff would love that.Maybe they should move back to Buffalo.
