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.
The Clippers are sometimes associated with not being
adept at basketball.
