He just purchased the Clippers and I'm already tired of this clown! I am tired of the Clippers whole act from the covering of the banners to now this. If you don't like living in the Lakers shadow, get the hell out of Staples Center or better yet... GET THE HELL OUTTA LOS ANGELES!!!!

To their defense. The Banner thing was all Doc. Matter of fact it was pre-Ballmer (whatever his name is). BUT, yeah I get it they have the little brother complex. They have to go extra hard to shake being in the shadows. The ultimate, is rebuilding this team and actually getting into the playoffs and playing these clowns. That's where the real will be!!!

I don't mind at all. The only reason they can do this is because we're terrible. It should be used as motivation by our FO.

Who cares? It's not like the Lakers are using the locker room.

Maybe we can send Vitti in to give Ballmer some free treatment.

Trust me it'll all be over soon enough... Starting with their playoff exit. I've said for a while now that they're just one of those teams hoggin' up playoff spots with no real chance at a ring. Call it playoff purgatory.

Not clear in the article but i am assuming the Lakers gave the Billionaire idiot permission to do so. Why I have no clue.

Clippers are a classless organization having their moment in the sun. Going to be interesting to see how things turn out when the Clips lose some players, lose some sparkle and Ballmer gets bored with his new toy.

Funny how bush league they still are. From Griffins antics to Pauls flops and Barnes acting like a tough guy. It cracjked me up that Rivers had his starters in last night with a minute to go and a 16pt lead. Even though the Spurs had pulled their starters a couple minutes before.

Reminded me of how they did the same thing up by 30 against the Lakers. Starters still in and launching 3's for effect. Guess it is tough to overcome four decades of being the court jester of the league.

The Clippers have good ownership now. They are doing well.

I can't hate on them.

Frankly, the overdone hate makes people sound butt hurt or jealous.

Let them have their fun. In the long term, I'd like it if both LA teams were good. With the Lakers better of course.

Hang some laundry first then we can consider getting more than bemused.

Whatever. (bleep) him and his waste of 2 billion dollars. He's got roughly 3 games left in there anyway.

Will the Lakers be using it in the next few months? No problem with it. They pay rent at Staples just like the Lakers do. I could see if the Lakers owned Staples.

Who cares? Staples Center isn't the Lakers' property.

They're tenants there just like us.

LOL I swear some of y'all act like the Lakers own Staple Center. Their owner is so filthy rich that he could buy the arena if he wanted to.

Hope he enjoys his lounge for the next 5 or 6 games. It's all he's getting this offseason

It's funny, I couldn't find an article on this in the online sports section of the LA Times, so I did a search using "Steve Ballmer Lakers Locker room", and while I did find several stories on the subject, virtually everyone of them cited the tweet from Bolch as their source.

And anyone who reads the LA Times sports section knows this guy has a giant pro-Clippers/anti-Lakers bias in everything he writes.

I'll wait for someone from the Lakers to verify the tweet and explain why it is so before I'm going to worry too much about it.

Next time we outlast the Clippers in the playoffs, we should turn their locker room into a fan bathroom.
