I’m obviously biased but it was the only time we’ll really ever just see pure ball played at its peak. Everyone is rested, no home court advantage or anything. Just incredible talent in a neutral court.

Yeah the fact we went that far with THJ as our 2nd best player was a testament to how good Luka was.

Granted Tim was pretty good in that series but still a huge carry job from Luka. There’s a reason that game winning 3 from Luka is still top 3 or 5 post on the sub.

The problem is KP is has never been healthy. I think that 2024 Boston beats any championship team from 2019 to 2025 when healthy. Heck I even think that the only team they can’t beat in the past 20 years is KD gsw.

I remember that game, Luka had like 6 first quarter turnovers and I was worried for a sec. Then this dude goes out and drops ⁴⁵⁄₁₆ something 😂.

Also wasn’t THJ second option in that series?

laker fans “not caring” about the clippers might be one of the biggest misinformation and coping campaigns i have ever seen.

Those lob city years broke the brains of laker fans, seemingly for the rest of time. watching the clippers be on sports center highlights every single week while the lakers were bottomfeeders was hell for laker fans.

I think the only team that cares MORE about the clippers then clipper fans are laker fans.

SwizzGod | Lakers

21 | 15 hours ago

When Lob city was good we weren’t. We were young and rebuilding. And they weren’t running a streetlights over spotlight campaign. No animosity there.

If you say a few Laker fans felt like this than of course the fan base is massive but as a whole? No we did not care.

Charliebitme1234 | Thunder

my brother, go look at r/lakers after you beat the clippers or the clippers make a trade or the clippers so anything of note.

I’ll put it like this. I’ve never cared about the Clippers until Kawhi tried to intentionally screw us in free agency . Once he leaves I’ll stop caring again.

michelobX10

Yeah, for a fanbase who’s so arrogant about how they’re LA’s team and how all players want to play for them, they sure love to revel in the Clippers’ failures. The Clippers know that they’re the outcasts of LA so not sure why LA fans have to constantly keep reminding them.

I’m sure the main reason they hate the current Clippers so much is because they thought they were entitled to Kawhi joining the Lakers to play second fiddle to LeBron. I just find it amusing because I knew many Lakers fans who initially hated LeBron’s move to LA. Probably because it was a threat to Kobe’s legacy. Before LeBron joined the Lakers, there were so many heated debates about Kobe vs LeBron.

It’s simply because he’s played against the Clippers far more than any other team in his career. 19 career playoff games against them is equivalent to a full 5 years of regular season matchups between two intraconference teams.
