LA?s Finest

The Clippers are undefeated. Honestly, who ever imagined that the word undefeated will be mentioned with the Los Angeles Clippers in the same sentence? The Clippers are 3-0 situated atop the Pacific division. Will this be the year the Clippers outshine their cross town rivals?

The atmosphere in LA is if the Clippers have just won the title. LA Mayor Antonio Villagarosa visited the Clipper locker room to congratulate the players. Imagine what would happen if the Clippers end up winning the title. The last time the Clippers were 3-0 to start the season was back in 1985-86. LA goes on the road for the next four.

After the game was over Mobley commented on the game saying, "Basketball is like life, it`s just at a faster pace. You only get 48 minutes. Life gives you ups and downs. One month you might be happy, the next you might be sad. In basketball, one minute you might be up ten, the next down five. You`ve got to just push through it. If you sulk on the last play it`s going to stay like that . . . the last play."
