Depends on which LA fans look at it. Clops are a lot closer to the cubs...

Braves/Clips joined the league the same year as Portland 1970.... made the playoffs 3 times before
1976 and 4 times in the 30 years since...can count the clips/braves trips to the 2nd round of the
playoffs on 2 fingers with 30 years between those and never past the 2nd round....

Compared to that even the 1 championship, 3 finals, 26 playoff appearances including a NBA record
21 year streak for making the playoffs and a couple of other trips to the finals looks pretty
un-cubby.
