Los Angeles Clippers History
The Clippers joined the NBA in 1970 as the Buffalo Braves, an expansion team located in Buffalo, N.Y. The franchise selected future star forward Bob McAdoo in 1972 with the No. 2 overall pick in the NBA Draft. He was named NBA MVP in the 1974–75 season, and remains the only player in the history of the Clippers franchise to win that honor.
The franchise, led by new owner Irv Levin, moved to San Diego in 1978 and was renamed as the Clippers. The franchise's stay in San Diego didn't last long. Levin sold the team to Donald Sterling in 1981, and he moved the franchise 120 miles north to Los Angeles.
The Clippers began their best era of success in 2010, when they drafted Blake Griffin with the No. 1 overall pick. One season later they acquired Chris Paul in a trade with the New Orleans Hornets, and "Lob City" was born. They advanced to the second round of the playoffs that same season, recording their second playoff series win in 36 years. The Clippers followed that by setting a new franchise record with 56 wins in the 2012–13 season, which began a streak of five consecutive seasons with 50 or more wins and a playoff berth.
During the 2022–23 season, the Clippers, led by Kawhi Leonard and Paul George, again returned to the playoffs. They fell to the Suns in the first round.

Event was great. Seat was as expected, which is really good. The only reason I didnt give it a 5/5 was the TicketMaster fees being so high. $15 on a ticket, really? Cut that number in half and you are within reason.
The event was very exciting and very entertaining, me and my wife loved it and will definitely recommended to my friends.
Go Clippers!!!!! Great game. Seating was really good we could see it all. Great time it was
great to see our team win during game 7. The energy at staples was awesome!!
What a fantastic game. The fans were into it completely, went home hoarse! Going to Sunday game against Thunder!
An awesome, thrilling Game 7!!!! Was on edge the entire game.
One of the best games I have ever attended!!! Go clippers!
Although we didn't let the Donald Sterling drama get the best of us, we still went, sporting our Clipper gear and supporting our team and players! It was of course a weird feeling, but the Clippers game out with a WIN! Sad to see all the sponsors pull out because the timeouts and half time was definitely not the same...overall, glad to see the Clippers go on to round 2...good luck to them! Seats weren't too shabby and felt closer than being on the corners.
The seats were all we could afford, but we were still able to see the action. The Staples center was perfect temperature in the So. Cal. heat. Found a nice sit down place to eat inside before the game. Fans were relatively well behaved with all that testosterone. Good times.
We had amazing time at the play off game on Monday nite. The arena was electrifying! The Clippers looked and played AWESOME! We could go all the Way!
AWFUL REFEREES, We lost the game because of bad calls against Blake Griffin!! This is a shame but at the time I am writing this review, Blake Griffin took care of game 2, when he is not in foul troubles, it is not the same! I just regret attending game 1 instead of game 2, looking forward game 5 at home, hopefully it will be the last one to clinch a semi finals berth! Clippers Nation!!
Except for obnoxious Warriors fans, a great evening!
great game go clippers go going to the clipper is always a marvelous event and going to the playoff game is even more exciting
The game that we had but we let it get away. I think the players were to into the Golden State type of game very physical. Clippers lost concentration at the end and that is were Clippers lost the game
Great atmosphere and service for a very crowded clipper playoff game
Great day. God crowd. Fun event. Refs. Took over over game. :(
Seats were great and the game was amazing, except for the fact they lost game 1. But the energy in the arena was amazing, nothing like playoff basketball!!
We attended the final regular season game in the Clippers' roster as they maintained the second spot in the Western Conference. This was actually my first time attending an NBA game. I was taken aback by the sheer size of the arena when I walked in, especially near the top where those "nose-bleeder" seats are! The actual court was much smaller than I expected (must by the angle of those television cameras), but not the NBA players. They were as large as I'd expect them to be. The feeling of being in a packed house with few hundred (or is it thousand?) screaming Clipper fans is indescribable. It felt like a family reunion-we all cheered when Griffon slammed the ball down into the net or groaned when Crawford missed a three-pointer. And of course, who could forget the hecklers? One such heckler, obviously desiring to express his true feelings, yelled out "I love you" to a Nugget player at the free throw line. Needless to say, his claim went unanswered and unappreciated. All in all, attending an NBA game is an amazing experience. It is really nothing like watching from the couch at home...
THE GAME WAS SUPERB! HAD AN AWESOME TIME! LOVED THE ENTIRE EXPERIENCE!
Although my Clippers were not able to pull it out in the end, was one of the most amazing game that I have attended. The fact that we were down 17 points in the 4th came all the way back to pull within 2. It was so loud all of the fans in the arena were standing, shouting to the top of our lungs, they say the player could not even hear the referees whistle, the music blasting, this is why Basketball is the most exciting game ever. Love this game, James
