This is exhibit A of why Americans are crazy. The Clippers have been the laughing stock of Sport for 30 yrs, not the NBA, all of sports, this recent run of success is really just the cherry on top of a massive turd. Add in the fact that the Clippers are the red headed step child to the Lakers in that town and they are worth $2 billion, when the Kings have one of the best marketing departments in the NHL (your welcome Canada!) and have had a quality on ice product for most of the last 20 years and they are worth mayby $500 million?
What puzzles me more is that you look at the crowds at the game and they are completely into game, as rabid as any Canadian crowd. So it seems that if you can get Americans to watch the games they love it but for the most part they would rather watch a dumpster fire like the Clippers
