MontrezlHarrell to Lakers’ fans:”There are two teams in LA”

[csfansince60s]

Fun ariticle from ESPN about Clips/ Lakers as well as some insight into some of the fun the players have with each other (Lou Williams with Lance Stephenson here).

After the Clippers used a 22-0 second-half run to beat the undermanned Lakers 118-107 in the teams' first regular-season encounter, Harrell said the Clippers wanted to remind people that there was another team in Los Angeles besides the Lakers.

"I love it," Harrell said of hearing the boos. "Because they already don't recognize us as a so-called L.A. team, but we don't really care about that. But we want y'all to know that we're the LA Clippers. That means Los Angeles Clippers, man. So there's two teams in L.A.

"Y'all try to overlook us, just because of everybody in that purple and gold and the history of it. Yeah, I respect that. But that don't mean s--- to me. Excuse my French -- that don't mean nothing to me. I come out here and play for the guys that I am on the floor with. At the end of the day, y'all gonna have to recognize us, man. We are going to make you understand who we are."

And Williams had some fun with Sir Lance:

Former Laker Lou Williams scored 23 of his 36 points in the second half to hand the Lakers their fifth loss in the past seven games.

Williams drilled a 3-pointer over Lance Stephenson that gave the Clippers a 112-100 lead, effectively ending any chance of a Lakers comeback, and celebrated by doing Stephenson's signature air guitar.

"It was just fun," said Williams, whose Clippers have won 22 of the past 25 meetings with the Lakers. "I'm sure Lance won't care. He'll be back to playing his guitar tomorrow. We're fans of the game. We watch games where he's putting it on guys and he's playing his guitar, and we get a good laugh out of it."

Sounds like my kind of night in LA.

Can someone PLEASE tell me...explain to me...Lance Stephenson's infatuation.....





...with air?

Great post, btw...Montrezz and the Clips need to win a title or two to stem the tide of the Lakers, though.

For what it's worth, I'd love to see the Clips move back to San Diego.

Me, too, but that doesn’t seem to be the current trend. Looking at the Rams and Chargers as well as the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim - it appears teams are more satisfied being 2nd in LA than being 1st in their former cities.

Harrell is quietly making a case for 6MOTY. I reckon he'd get more attention if Lou Williams wouldn't keep scoring 20 off the bench, lol.

I’m rooting for Harrell.

Nice to see a non-shooter, hustle guy getting the accolades.

Me too. He's also a binkie of mine, and I've always wanted him on the C's, so it's nice to see him continue to improve
