The Clippers won 47 games – two more than the Lakers – and won a playoff series (beating Denver) for the first time in franchise history. Mike Dunleavy's squad then took the Phoenix Suns to seven games, barely missing out on a trip to the Western Conference finals.

With the return of every key player and the addition of Suns playoff hero Tim Thomas (who signed a four-year free-agent deal), the Clippers for the first time in team history are actually talking championship. Before you laugh, take a look at the Clips' roster.

As much as I like the Suns, its time for them to move over and make room for the Clippers...after all every dog has his day...and its the Clippers turn to rule the division...well...it could be...maybe...

I'd love to see the Clippers win the division, but I'm afraid the sky will fall and the rivers will all turn to blood if they do. I mean, they've been so bad for so long. It's hard to get used to the words "Clippers" and "contenders" being used together. But if the Tigers can make it to the World Series after as bad as they had been in recent years, anything can happen!

As an avid laker fan I hope it doesn't come to this. I am too used to seeing my team produce a contender. Are you saying I should try to trade my 2 season tickets to the lakers for 40 season tickets to the clippers (I am almost positive that is the conversion rate)?
