Really? As I and others keep telling you, when the Clippers play a "home" game against the Lakers, it's really a road game because the fans are mostly Lakers fans in that building.

do they take a plane ride as well to get there? And "mostly" with no travel does not exactly = a road game.

Pat Riley doesn't know what he's doing.

"Riley has lost his fastball.'

"Butler was a bad pickup."

Guessing Clips would get their share of fans......plus no travel and playing in a more familiar setting.

@trojanfan12 or @ChiefsLakers67 ? Curious....what would you say would be % of Clips fans in the crowd for a Laker/Clipper "home" game for the Clips?

15-20% Clipps fans.....the rest Laker fans.

 

[msgkings322]

they would not need to travel is not really debatable. are you suggesting when Clips are the "home" team they would not have more fans there than a game in, say, OKC? Maybe even a lot more?

Man, you are not thinking straight.

When they are at home against any other team, it's mostly Clippers fans in the building. When they are at "home" against the Lakers, it's mostly Lakers fans. This is so simple anyone but you can understand.

Would hope anyone could understand travel is a big part of, well, traveling. You think the Clips playing a home game at staples against the LAL is the same as a roadie in OKC? Your choice.

thanks..um...sooner?

Never implied that
Keep dt-ing

will do...more logic and reason coming up. This is why calling 7 games in your home arena all road games (which was what I replied to) was absurd.

 

[dtgold88]

Not neutral...7 road games.

here it is again.....you implying that a game in their home arena as the home team is a road game. No different than an actual road game.

Keep msging?

Sure thing, it's clear who knows what they are talking about here

not sure where you were going with that one, but my last comment on the matter. you, in fact, did imply a 'home" game in staples was the same as a roadie for them. didn't expect you to just say, "yeah. I did. My bad."

Isn't he just talking about when the Clippers play the Lakers?

No it isn’t absurd at all.

Yes, obviously travel is part of the equation in a true road game. No LAC vs LAL is not nearly the disadvantage that LAC @ another city would be.

BUT....

You are over-analyzing the hell out of a really straight forward comment and twisting it around. I am sure @Mecca cam verify this, but I heard one of the reasons LAC was so willing to utilize load management during the season was because no matter what, the one team that would be their toughest out would have the fans on their side for all 7 games. LAC doesn’t care about home court against LAL because it doesn’t exist and the games aren’t neutral.

It is really pretty simple.

Of course I am
I love when he gets like this

I think dtgold's erection is larger when he argues really stupid points

That is the only rational explanation.

Blatantly obvious what the point of my comment was. And I am sure both LAC and LAL fans would agree.

This could get interesting will we need popcorn?
