If nothing else, with the recent emergence and, perhaps, dominance of the Clippers, it gives Lakers fans a real reason to chant "Beat L.A.! Beat L.A.!"

Because most of the Clippers are new to the area I thought I would help them out with a little history lesson. The Lakers own the city of Los Angeles. The Clippers just rent.

The Clippers are in real trouble now that they have Bill Plaschke in their corner. Listening to his advice on their conduct while playing the Lakers is absurd.
The Clips are doing fine, thank you, but the Lakers are still the best team in L.A.

Bill Plaschke, what are you talking about? Blake Griffin is supposed to lie there while Ron Artest has his legs wrapped around his neck? Chris Paul is supposed to enjoy a pat on his head? Come on, the Clips are showing some fight and that is good! And while you are at it, Bill, give some props to Donald Sterling and Clippers management for putting together an exciting, competitive team. They are not all the way there yet, but they are sure fun and a lot more watchable than that other team at Staples.

When one is dealing with a thug, anger, belligerence and hostility are necessary, and that is exactly what Metta World Peace gave the Clippers thugs on Wednesday night, along with some good play. It is a shame that the NBA and the referees have resorted to and allowed such brutish contests. The game was out of control, and it was obvious the Clippers were the early aggressors and brutes: pushing, shoving, hanging on people, and the refs let it go. The Lakers responded with roughness of their own, and finally the refs start calling the game correctly. Someone is going to get hurt seriously before it will stop.
