As someone who lives in los angeles, it's always interesting when the LA "rivalry" comes up (throughout the years it hasn't been one cause clippers haven't been good, but finally looks like the clippers actually have a good squad) and i'm wondering how the matchups are going to be because of the recent changes to roster, and i'm curious what people think about a few issues

No more odom, Blake vs ?
Gordon vs Kobe
Butler vs Artest
DJ vs Bynum

Bench vs Bench

This is assuming rosters are as stated. No changes yet so we won't talk about them until they happen

Let's assume everybody gets everybody they're trying to trade for/pick up. It'd be

Chris Paul vs. Chauncy Billups
Eric Gordon vs. Kobe Bryant
Caron Butler vs. Ron Artest
Blake Griffin vs. Pau Gasol
Deandre Jordan vs. Dwight Howard

I would like to be the first to say

If healthy no question Clippers squad is a better team even with Odom on Lakers.

Mo Williams>Fisher
Eric Gordon<Kobe
Caron Butler>Ron Artest
Blake Griffin>Pau Gasol
DeAndre Jordan<Andrew Bynum

Clippers also have more capable bench players with Kaman, Foye, Bledsoe, Aminu. Kaman and Foye would start on some teams.

That being said Lakers squad is going to get more wins. More experience, more on court chemistry, higher IQ team, more consistency.

In terms of raw talent though both teams healthy no question Clippers have more formidable team.

Clippers take 3 out of 5 positions in starting 5+ the stronger bench.

LMAO. Blake Griffin looked like CRAP against the Laker bigs last season. He shot like 40% against our size, mostly dunks. It's easy to stop him with length, teams figured that out later in the season, which is why you saw the number of dunks decline. And anyone who thinks he is better than Pau needs to be shot. Please don't use the word rivalry, even with quotations. It is an embarrassment to put the biggest joke of the NBA and the most popular franchise of the NBA in the same sentence. They could get CP3 (and he would leave them in a year) and still never touch the Lakers. There was no rivalry, there is no rivalry, there never will be any rivalry. Its still:

Incredible homerism. Lakers are contending for the title - Clippers are just gunning for a playoff spot.

Clippers have a brighter future no doubt so I guess you're correct on the 'raw talent' aspect, but to say they're a better team is just incorrect.

I'm positive this guy didn't just use FG% to make a case for who is better, right?

Head to head stats, Gasol vs. Griffin:

http://www.basketball-reference.com/play-index/h2h_finder.cgi?request=1&p1=griffbl01&p2=gasolpa01

Gasol:

1) Shot a better % from the field
2) Took less shots
3) Had .5 more blocks

Blake Griffin

1) Scored more
2) Went to the line more
3) Rebounded more
4) Had more successful buckets
5) Made more freethrows

Blake Griffin also never dropped less than 15 points on Gasol in each of their matchups. In their first meeting, Pau Gasol only scored 10 points. And that was Griffin's worst game.

Similar ratings against Bynum and, he completely destroys Odom H2H.

Long story short: you're still the #1 bitch-made Lakers fan.

Man, Blake ain't better than Pau yet.

Blake was double, sometimes triple teamed with Pau, Bynum and some other guy. Pau could not defend Blake. Blake ran circles around him. Abused Odom all up and down the court. It was no contest. When you stick two 7 footers on one guy, sure it will keep him a little more quiet.

Wow do you even bother to watch basketball? Yes... Griffin is a better individual player than Pau. Hell even SLAM and ESPN ranked him higher a month or two ago which is rare due to the anti Clippers agendas. Clippers have a stronger frontcourt.. do you want to know why? More rebounds, more points in the paint. Plain and simple.

Do some research.

Lakers are right there with Clippers but not better. Caron Butler+Griffin+DJ+Kaman is stronger than Artest+Gasol+Bynum. Especially with Odom gone.

Clippers take 3 out of 5 positions and have a stronger bench. Nothing you said proves that wrong. Even an honest Lakers fan would admit on PAPER the Clippers are better. Doesn't mean they are a better team or will win more. This guy is asking a hypothetical question and I'm giving a hypothetical answer :confusedshrug: .

anyone who says the only thing Griffin does is dunk can't be taken seriously in a conversation like this. Not only will they "touch" the lakers this year, but they will do better than they did last year, and didn't do too bad of a job last year considering they played with injuries (they lost by 7 to the clippers and won by 1,8,13 points) this year, lakers have no odom, and clippers have an addition of butler. do the math
God I hate Laker fans who just say they're the best and every other team sucks especially the clippers since they're in the same city :facepalm

The clippers had the biggest hole at the 3 position and the Lakers' biggest advantage was having LO come in and double/tripple team blake. They lost their advantageous height which was why they were so scary before

I'm not saying the Clippers are better, but I feel like the Lakers are going to miss Lamar so much. They did not contend last year, they were swept in the semis, and losing Lamar makes them so much worse. The Lakers no longer have a second unit and have a piece of shit coach.

The Lakers are still better the Clippers, but with more experience and players improving, the gap is not very big.

Definitely true and we are talking about on paper. Lakers are the better team but they don't have the better roster if that makes sense. Reality here is the entire Clippers squad is injury prone. So this argument is rather pointless. Lakers will win more and contend at a higher level but they have more holes in the roster.

Btw I love how I post the stats yet people still ignorantly say Lakers have better front court. Clippers rank higher in most post rankings. Clippers are one of few teams in recent years that can play well against Lakers bigs. Griffin had trouble with the length but overall the frontcourt does well.

Screw it, I'll post the rest of the depressing stats from that article:

"Draft picks the Clips could have made had they just drafted Player B instead of Player A since 1976: Vandeweghe; Wilkins; Willis; Stockton; either McDaniel or Mullin; Price; Pippen, Jackson and Lewis; Rice; Brandon; either Grant or Jones; one of Wallace, Stackhouse or Garnett; Kobe; one of Pierce, Carter or Bibby; Okafor; either Stoudemire or Butler; and Granger.
Players the Clips stupidly gave away or lost without getting anything substantial back: Moses, McAdoo, Dantley, Cummings, Chambers, Manning, Odom, Miller, Brand."

"Here's how the past decade ended in terms of wins for the Clippers (by season): 15, 31, 39, 27, 28, 37, 47, 40, 23, 19.
Our final tally of post-1976 injuries to marquee Clippers players: five career-altering knee injuries (Livingston, Manning, Harper, Smith, Nixon), one career-ending ruptured disc (Johnson), one career-altering back surgery (Vaught), three season-ending torn Achilles (Brand, Archibald, Nixon), one heart arrithymia (Cummings) and multiple foot stress fractures (Walton). Every one of those guys was a top-three player on the team or headed that way.
Total number of post-1976 All-Star appearances by a Clipper or Brave: Seven.
Number of winning Clipper/Brave seasons since 1976: Two.
Number of post-1976 seasons with 30 wins or less: 19.
Number of post-1976 division titles: Zero.
Number of post-1976 last-place finishes: 15.
Number of retired numbers by the Braves/Clippers: Zero.
Overall record since 1976: 944-1730 (.353 winning percentage)."

"Since 1976, the Clippers have drafted only one player who made an All-Star team as a Clipper: Danny Manning in 1993 and 1994. Think about that for a second. It's impossible. It's absolutely true. They made 38 first-round picks since 1980; you will be No. 39. They earned a top-10 pick 23 times since the '76 draft; of those 23 times, 12 were in the top four and three were No. 1 overall. They failed to turn the first 21 chances into a Hall of Famer, borderline Hall of Famer or perennial All-Star. The 22nd chance was Gordon; the 23rd chance is you. The odds are against both of you."

I'm not arguing with the state of the team right now. I'm just pointing out that the Clips have had ridiculously bad luck with injuries ruining promising teams.

If we're going to talk based off of luck according to the past, a lot would be different. I totally agree that in the past, Clippers have had horrible picks and bad luck with injuries, but i'm not someone who will say a team is bad because of past bad luck when everyone is healthy now. I think that from this point moving forward, since they already got an amazing draft pick in blake, and got some great pickups to create the team they have now, they are a very scary team that people still underestimate because of the past. I think just like clippersfan said, people ignore very clear stats and still continue to make ignorant statements. I think Lakers are the way more experienced team and have a lot more under their belt, but I think people need to start realizing how much of a contender the Clippers could be with a healthy team

I don't see how a Griffin/Gordan/Jordan team doesn't pose a serious threat to the other teams, especially my Lakers. I'm so confident that they'll make the playoffs this year (if healthy) that I'll even be offering free head if they DON'T. They team's just too good.

Here's what lots of people don't see... Elgin Baylor was the GM back then. He was also the GM when we picked all those duds from the draft, when we sat back and watched everyone walk, and didn't make an effort to sign free agents.

In these last few years, the Clippers have been in a the news a LOT more. Why do you think that is? Before Dunleavy and Olshey, there was 33 years where Elgin Baylor got paid to sit on his ass and do nothing. Now the Clippers have been trying and Sterling has actually been spending money. He's still an idiot but at least he's paying now.

Again, we've moved into a new era.. That's the difference. We now have a GM who is actually doing work. Keep that in mind when you remember the past and look to the future :)

anyone who watches the majority of their games is likely pretty biased toward the clippers.

the lakers still have a ton of length around the basket to bother blake.

i remember watching at least one of the laker-clipper games last year and pau did a good job on him, in single coverage.

losing lamar hurts, but still, he was only their 4th best player.

they still control the paint (when they are motivated to) and have kobe, who if we are just making projections, as you are with the clippers, could be really revitalised, with that german procedure, and the extra time off.

lakers are still the better team.

edit: just heard the cp3 trade is dead, so i guess this is all irrelevant . . . for basketball reasons.

Please don't use the word rivalry, even with quotations. It is an embarrassment to put the biggest joke of the NBA and the most popular franchise of the NBA in the same sentence. They could get CP3 (and he would leave them in a year) and still never touch the Lakers. There was no rivalry, there is no rivalry, there never will be any rivalry. Its still:

1. Lakers
10. Dodgers
100. Clippers.

That's all.
How's that going for you so far :cheers:

Clips are clearly better today.

First in Pacific despite stronger opponents and no CP3 last 5 games. When the team gels they are going to be scary.

Looking forward to game coming up.

Hopefully CP3 and all Laker players are healthy as I want an all-out-war.

Despite what Fisher claims, this is going to get to be a rivalry real quick if Clipper s remain competitive.

It's kind of funny to see how these laker fans act. They act like they are so threatened. Almost afraid. Denial. Don't worry the lakers are not going to be very good for a good while. They will be decent this year and than really fall off.
