The Tunnel Series: Pre Game Ramble

Just a few items before things get started. Tunnel Series, what's this? Well, the LA Clippers and the LA Lakers share the Staples Center Arena, and more specifically the tunnels leading to the court, so I dub this the Tunnel Series (Thanks , Mom, for coming up with the name). Now on to the Pre-Game Ramble...The Lakers and Clippers split their season series 2-2 for the season for the second straight yesr and for only the third time since the Clippers moved to Los Angeles. Overall, the Lakers have lost just 2 series in franchise history (1992-93 & 1974-75) to the Clippers. In their last 16 games, the Lakers are 11-5 overall against the Clippers and 8-2 in their last 10 home games. Former Clipper Lamar Odom played with only 2 members of the current Clippers (Elton Brand & Corey Maggette) while current Clippers head coach Mike Dunleavy led the Lakers to a 101-63 record in two seasons (1990-92) including a Western Conference Championship in 1990-91.
