Bill Plaschke & Former Clippers Broadcaster Ralph Lawler Unsure Why Lakers Fans Aren’t Rooting For Clippers

Even though the Los Angeles Lakers’ season came to a premature end, many fans still have invested interest in what’s going on in the NBA postseason.

In a recent Lakers Nation poll with over 17,000 votes, 89.6% of fans revealed they would be rooting for the Phoenix Suns over the Los Angeles Clippers in the Western Conference Finals.

It’s become commonplace for Lakers fans to root against the Clippers, especially in Los Angeles, and there are a multitude of reasons why.

The Lakers moved to Los Angeles from Minneapolis in 1960 whereas the Clippers came in 1984.
