The Los Angeles Clippers found their humble beginnings as the Buffalo Braves and stayed there until their move to San Diego in 1978. Their previous two seasons with few wins made the move an easy decision for the ownership. Fortunately for the Clippers ticket holders, their first season in San Diego gave the team a winning record and gave the players something to strive for. Unfortunately, that would be short lived as it would be the Clippers last winning season for a monstrous 13 years to follow.

About The Los Angeles Clippers
In 1984, the team moved north and settled in Los Angeles, making their home at the Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena. The Los Angeles Clippers were hopeless for the next seven seasons. They ended the 1986-1987 season with a 12-70 record. They would be known for having the second worst single season record in the history of the NBA at the time. Would-be star players Marques Johnson and Norm Nixon were injured.
Halfway through the 1992-1993 season, the team made a coaching change, bringing in Larry Brown. This would prove a very good move for the struggling organization as from his hiring in January, Larry Brown ended his season with a 23-12 mark, leading the team to finish with a 45-37 record for the year. A big improvement from the previous years and for the first time since their move to Los Angeles, Clippers ticket holders were treated to a team that finished with a better record than the team across town, the Los Angeles Lakers. The clippers finally advanced to the playoffs but were eliminated in the first round due to their inexperience in post-season.
After the next season, Brown would leave the Los Angeles Clippers and they would hire on Bob Weiss to replace Brown. Brown's leaving the Los Angeles Clippers left the ticket holders with a once again losing team. Weiss was fired but with a team of inexperienced and young players, new coach Bill Fitch didn't have much to work with. Through the next few years, the Los Angeles Clippers ticket holders saw not only dozens of player changes, but also coaching changes.
Finally, the 2005/2006 season began a turning point for the Los Angeles Clippers tickets and their fans. Several big wins over top teams started to get the fans attention again. The team drafted Yaroslav Korolev and Elton Brown was chosen to play in the All Star game. Even with some frustrating losses, the Los Angeles Clippers were able to finish their season with their first winning record in 14 years. They even made the playoffs, a feat they hadn't achieved since 1997. They went on to win their first two playoff games. They lost the third then won the fourth and fifth, and their first playoff series since their move from Buffalo so many years before. Because of their increase in w
The Los Angeles Clippers ticket holders were rewarded for their loyalty by the team having the first overall pick of the 2009 draft. They selected Blake Griffin, but in order to make a spot for him on the team, they traded away Zach Randolph for Quentin Richardson, then later traded Richardson for Sebastian Telfair, Craig Smith and Mark Madsen. Los Angeles Clipper ticket holders are hoping these are the trades their team needs to move successfully into the playoffs with a strong team leading the way at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
