Don’t you think somebody in the league office – somebody anywhere, actually – might have spotted a red flag? “Over the last 3 or 4 years, I think, we’ve had 32 games tip off before 2 o’clock our time, and the next closest team is 14,” coach Ty Lue said before Sunday’s game. “So you do the math.” For 26 seasons, since the arena originally called Staples Center opened in the fall of 1999, the Clippers have been the third tenant behind the Kings, whose parent company, AEG, owns and runs the building, and the Lakers, who were the primary draw from the moment the building was planned.
“Nobody – and I’ve been here a long time – expects us to have the better schedule than the Lakers or the Kings,” Clippers’ TV play-by-play broadcaster Brian Sieman said. “It’s their building. We’re the third tenant. So I expect it. This turnaround is a tight one, and it’s rough.”
