Clippers OR Lakers: Who Runs LA?

[MMKM]

I'll play devils advocate: Clippers

Paul>>>Fisher
Mo<<<Kobe
Butler>Artest
Griffin>Gasol
Jordan=Bynum

Lakers only clearly win at one position. Bench= Clippers with Foye, Bledsoe and Billups. Clips get the edge.

[Fiasco]

Kobe.

[Allstar24]

Well one team has the rich history, success, championships, glamour...aka 16 championships and all-time legends like Kareem, Magic, Wilt, Worthy, Baylor, Shaq and Kobe. The other team has...uh....no idea. And even when the Lakers are supposedly struggling, they are always the story. They will always be THE team in LA, at least in my lifetime...thank god.

[Kurosawa0]

even if the clippers win a championship, it doesn't compare to the history and success of the lakers

Historically, sure it's the Lakers. As far as the most relevant team? The Clippers should challenge that fairly quickly.

Bullshit.

Dirk owns the Staples Center

That's what people said after the lakers traded Shaquille and the clippers made it deep in the playoffs

You all tend to be fairly reactionary and short sighted

[hammer2010]

Both teams are hot!

[SourGrapes]

Dirk owns the Staples Center

The mavs' losses to the lakers historically say otherwise

[Smot Poker]

As a diehard Clipper fan who lives in L.A., there's NO DOUBT that the Lakers "Run L.A." It'll prolly always be that way too, but the Clippers will finally get some respect and hopefully their own arena one day.

[MMKM]

Bullshit.

Ok youre right.

Jordan<Bynum.

Clippers still win the majority of match ups, so what the heck I'll pick the Clippers.

No i don't know about this. Griffin isn't exactly better than Gasol if they match up. Gasol is longer. And Artest can probably can the better of Butler. Bynum is better than Jordan too, look at the stats. However the only difference is Kobe is way better than Mo. Still better than Paul too.

I think moving forward it's the Clippers.

Kobe and co. had a hard time beating the Clips last yr even though they went 3-1 but w/ out Odom (and no apparent replacement) as of now I think the Clippers are looking really promising.

This buzz reminds of the early 2000's when the Clips had Darius Miles, Odom, Q-Rich, and Brand.

Great for LA!

Since we're asking tough questions, who has more NBA championships? Bill Russell or my electric blanket?
