Suns
Strengths: Can score from all over the court. An above average center. Fast, healthy players. Excellent perimeter game. Two future HOF'ers (CP3 and Booker). Confident team with good coaching and a take-no-prisoners attitude. Weaknesses: Young and inexperienced(?)
Why we hate them: Took out our Lakers team. Booker tried to hurt DS, and Crowder clowned Lebron. Whole team seemed cocky defeating us, and sort of made fun of us.

Clippers
Strengths: Best in league 3 point shooting. Effective defense. Two future HOF'ers (PG and KW). Kawhi playing out of his mind right now and easily the best player in the NBA. Healthy team, locked in, and with good coaching.
Weaknesses: Clipper reputation. Weak in the middle.
Why we hate them: Both and Kawhi and Paul G. strung us along and then shunned us. Their whole team hates us, and Ballmer is a fat, rich idiot who wants the Clippers to take over LA from the Lakers.

Questions (assuming the Clippers win the series vs Utah):

1) Between these two teams, who do you want to win the WCF (must pick one) and why?

2) Between these two teams, who will actually win the WCF, and why?

Chris Paul has been dealt a bad hand with injuries in the post season. I could live with him holding up a trophy.

Monty Williams is such a great guy. We all know what cards he was dealt and he came out the other side. Heā€™s an inspiring human being.

Bookerā€¦.well booker ā€¦.I like him more than pg13.

I don't really care much.

Unlike you, I don't hate either team.

It would be cool if Chris Paul wins a ring.

And even though I am a Lakers fan, it would be cool if the Clippers win a ring.

That said, it's not an emotional topic for me, and either way, my interest in what transpired would evaporate in about 60 seconds.

I wouldnā€™t lose sleep, but it would not be cool to see a team other than the lakers who plays in the staples center win a title.

If we can grab a moral victory, it's the fact that the Lakers don't lose to chumps.

Last 10 years:
2011: Lost to Mavericks (Champions)
2012: Lost to Thunder (Western Conf. Champions)
2013: Lost to Spurs (Western Conf. Champions)
2021: Lost to Suns (???)

I don't have the animosity to the Clippers that some Lakers fans do.

Honestly, once the Lakers got knocked out, I am fairly indifferent to which of the 7 remaining teams wins. When the finals is closed out and a winner emerges, there's a good chance I will be out backpacking, oblivious to the entire event.

For me, this year will likely be like when the Raptors won. I don't remember how long after the fact I even realized it happened, but it was at least a few days.

Man listen.

I'm not on this "support an LA team" kumbaya vibe.
I will die if the Clippers win

So as long as someone else wins I'm fine. It's not gonna be the Lakers anyway so who cares that much AS LONG AS it is NOT the Clippers.

Iā€™d want the Clippers to win.

I think it would put more pressure on the Lakers (esp. ownership) to go all out to win. Iā€™m a little worried that the Lakers will get scared of the luxury tax and I think a Clippers win would put more pressure on ownership to spend to win.

Suns easily.

I actually have nothing against the Suns nor did I get upset over the way they behaved when they eliminated the Lakers.

Lebron and the Lakers had it coming after behaving like complete asses in game 3.

Dont dish it if you cant take it.

Not to mention I dont mind seeing the young guys Kobe mentored do well if the Lakers are not in it.

Clipper fans will be insufferable if they win.

Insufferable.

The Clippers simply protected homecourt. They still have to win on the road.

The Jazz lose two games and are still even in the series but the maggots have come looking for the body.

Let's wait until this plays out.

Suns. I don't have much if any animosity toward the Clippers, but I'd rather skip the obligatory clickbait articles about how the Clippers are going to take over LA now. It's going to happen one of these years. It wouldn't shock me if some of the articles are already written. But it can wait.

Suns without question. It's best if you get beat to be beaten by the best, , , and it keeps the freakin' Clippers down.

Suns. Not even close for me.

Even think the question is premature. Still think the Jazz win this series.

ā€œInsufferableā€ was used above. Clipper fans and Balmerā€™s antics if they win would be exactly that. I simply canā€™t have that !

As for the Suns, they are playing great basketball. They have great chemistry, coaching, balanced roster, and leadership. There is a lot to respect.

I may not have liked the attitude they showed towards my Lakers, but in all honesty they deserved to be a bit cocky. They are a young new team with a recent history of losing. They turned that around and beat the champs who most favored. They proved they belonged.

The Laker team was disappointing all season. They had mental breakdowns all season, even when at full strength. They were outplayed by the Suns. In the end they quit on each other and the jersey. No excuses. Suns beat their asses and deserved to dance on the Laker legacy a bit. Doesnā€™t make it easier to take as a fan but they earned it.
