The Clip Joint
I realize it’s a little too early to be crowing loudly, but it needs to be said. As a Clippers fan for 15 years now, I take a lot of pleasure in the fact that the Clippers are in the playoffs, their standing is higher than in-town rival the Lakers and the Clippers hold a 1-0 record in the first round versus the Lakers 0-1 record. Go Clippers!
Here’s a crazy thing to consider– should both the Clippers and the Lakers make it past the first round, the two teams would play each other in the second round for the chance to play in the Western Conference Finals.
The Clippers and the Lakers in the playoffs at the same time is rare enough. But the Clippers and Lakers playing against each other in the playoffs? If that happens, clearly the rapture is upon us. I’m stocking up on Tang because I know I’m not amongst the chosen.
