Con: Second Fiddle

How many of you still can’t believe that the Los Angeles Clippers lost to the Houston Rockets?

If the Clippers would’ve found a way to win that series, then their franchise would be in a place that the Lakers haven’t been in for five years: the Western Conference Finals.

The Lakers aren’t the most important team in the city right now. With a talented roster that’s headlined by Chris Paul, Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan, the Lob City Clippers right now are the headliner to Staples Center and it’s not even close.

Sharing a city with another team is difficult. Seeing another team in the same city have more success than you on a daily basis is borderline torture.

The way that the Lakers are rebuilding too, it will just take a longer time for them to get to the level that the Clippers are at.

***It’s funny writing/saying that sentence.***
