Franchise history
The Buffalo Braves played their first NBA
season in 1970. They moved to San Diego, California
for the 1977-78 season, and became the San
Diego Clippers. Since then, they have not
been having good records. Their attendance
wasn't very good, either.
In 1984, the Clippers moved to Los Angeles,
California, playing in the LA Sports Arena
while the Lakers, with a better reputation,
continued to play at the Forum in Inglewood.
However, in 1999, the Clippers and Lakers
both started to play in the Staples Center.
This has been a benefit somehow, but the Lakers
didn't perform well in their first season
at the Staples Center, especially when compared
to the Lakers, who won the championship.
