The Los Angeles Clippers and Los Angeles Lakers seem to be on a collision course for the playoffs, with each team having specific advantages in a potential series.

Before the season began, we gave the three advantages that the Los Angeles Clippers had over the Los Angeles Lakers and vice versa. After the NBA All-Star Break, with the playoffs looming, we are now bringing you the playoff advantages that both teams have over each other, as we have over 50 games of a sample size to go off of.

We already did the Lakers’ version of this article and if you want to check out the things that the Lakers have over the Clippers then you can find it here.

The Clippers have been rolling since the All-Star Break and are actually answering the call that we put on them, stating that they were yet to prove that they could win a title. If they keep this level of play up that we have seen over the last week and a half then they are going to have the entire basketball world convinced that they should be the favorites for the NBA Title.

At the end of the day, though, the Clippers are going to have to get past the Los Angeles Lakers before they even want to think about winning the first championship in franchise history.

And from there, they would likely have to defeat the Milwaukee Bucks, who have been the best regular-season team in the league and it is not really even close.

Regardless, here are the three advantages that the Clippers would have over the Lakers if they matched up in a playoff series.
