Blake Griffin Not Happy With Staples Center Atmosphere

It aint the first time he brought it up, it aint salt

It's a silly complaint.

Someone get him a bib.

This. Ballmer has ties with Seattle because of Microsoft. Never understood the purpose of having two teams in the same city anyways

LA definitely has room for two teams, the Clips have great attendance and tv ratings. That's evidenced by the fact that they sold for so much money.

Problem is any real bball fan from LA is going to be a Lakers fan, nothing short of stringing together some championships will change that.

but why would anyone be a Clippers fan when the Lakers play in the same building? Just reality

Also, remember the Warriors bandwagon is rolling at the moment....

They were chanting MVP for Curry at the line. That's kind of a big deal. They needed the win, and the crowd is chanting for the away team. Teams fight for home court advantage

Clippers have fans?

Not really, given Curry's play and large diverse LA fanbase (particularly Cali). I watched the game last night; they had lots of Warrior fans at the game, but it was nowhere near split. lol.

In the regular season, against in-state rivals, this is to be expected though. Playoffs are a different animal. ISHer 'chazzy' went to one of their postseason games @ Staples last year (vs GS); there were hardly any Warriors fans, and the ones who attended, were basically muted by the LA diehards.

Like I said.. go to a Chargers/Raiders/Niners game in the regular season when 2 of the 3 go h2h. It's the same thing.

So much for the Clippers taking over LA

LOB CITY STAND UP, all four of you

The sorry Lakers ratings are still nearly double the Clippers. 1.95 to 1.10. Clippers still can't beat the Lakers while they're down.

The Clippers will never be truly relevant in LA and if an NFL team moves here you can push them down another spot down the list below the Lakers Kings Dodgers USC and Angels

They should move at bare minimum to Anaheim

Why move to Anaheim when it's gonna be the same thing?

[Lebron23]

Seattle Clippers.

Everyone likes the Warriors these days.... everyone. It's annoying. My friend is a Clippers fan, and his favorite player is Steph Curry. He went to the game last night, and all he could talk about today was Steph Curry.

[Bobcats2013]

LA doesn't wanna be represented by a bunch of flopping mental midgets phuck boys

Warriors and Lakers along with the fan bases got mutual respect for one another.

They could possibly build a more loyal, localized fan base. There is a huge difference between driving to Honda Center / Angels Stadium to watch a game and driving to Staples Center to watch a game.

I love NBA Basketball, but driving to a typical 7:30pm game at Staples Center is a headache. Conversely, if there were an NBA team at the Honda Center, any NBA team... I would have season tickets and would probably attend a game a week.
