Almost immediately after the final buzzer put a blaring exclamation point on the Los Angeles Clippers 102-91 win over same-stadium rivals the World Champion Los Angeles Lakers last night at Staples Center, rumors began to spread hot like wildfire across the twitoblogiverseosphere of a celebratory victory parade to take place along a 40-yard stretch of blockaded Centinela Avenue outside Clippers Playa Vista headquarters this morning.
Ladies and gentlemen, as of 8:30 a.m. as evidenced by the picture snapped while biking past the place, rumors of any post-win par-tay are false and it’s nothing but business as usual.
Official City Disclaimer: Any similarity to Centinela Avenue being shut down is entirely a result of the photographer’s timing coupled to the hour of day as well as a general lack of traffic due to ongoing economic factors, and not the result of any barricading that may or may not have occurred at taxpayer expense. Thank you.
Even in Victory apathy rules around here.
I was happy when those traffic cones disappeared from the right-hand lane on south/eastbound Centinela.
