People looking at the 4 game losing streak have NO IDEA how resentful the Clippers are about the "little brother" mentality at Staples Center.
Some examples. The Clippers kept getting asked over the off-season whether they'd put up a "Pacific Division Championship" banner b/c the Lakers ONLY have NBA champ banners. As if putting up a Pacific Division banner reeks of settling for mediocrity. Never mind that all but 2 teams in the NBA (Lakers, Celtics) do that now. Because they're in the same arena as the Lakers, they get flak for it.
Or the Clips got criticized b/c they'll cover up the 16 Laker championship banners during their home games now - that it seems childish on the Clipper part. Or when the Clips sucked, there would be more Laker fans at Clipper home games. The joke in LA was that the Lakers always got 43 home games.
Those are just examples. The point is the Clippers always LOVE to beat the Lakers. It wouldn't matter if they won 10 straight. Plus it's opening night. They'll be amped up to destroy the Lakers.
