Did You Know...

The 2008-09 season wasn’t the Los Angeles Clippers best, ending up in 4th place in the Pacific Division and missing the playoffs, but they’re starting the 2009-10 season with a potent weapon – #1 draft pick Blake Griffin. Griffin joins a team that should be in much better shape this year as injured players Baron Davis, Chris Kaman and Ricky Davis are now fully healed, plus Baron and coach Mike Dunleavy have moved past their differences, bringing more stability to the team in the process. This means that the Clippers are expected to make the playoffs, and as a loyal fan, you’ll want to watch them do it live, right? Snap up your Staples Center tickets now and watch the Clippers dominate the 2009-10 season!

The Los Angeles Clippers have one of the most complicated histories in all of basketball. The franchise started off as the Buffalo Braves in 1970. The team had difficulty in its first few years, but under the guidance of one of the best coaches in basketball history, Dr. Jack Ramsay, the organization turned itself around and saw success in the playoffs. Soon thereafter, the team went into a tailspin and moved to the opposite coast, becoming the San Diego Clippers. The Clippers posted good records right away but had difficulty reaching the playoffs in a much tougher Western Conference. Soon fans lost interest, and the team moved once again. The Clippers found their new home in Los Angeles.
