"The Clippers need to chill.

The Clippers need to stop acting like some young new movie star who feels it necessary to prove his street cred by trashing hotel rooms and tossing bouncers.

So far this season, the Clippers are the best team in Los Angeles and one of the best teams in the NBA's Western Conference, a talented and energetic group, legitimate contenders who could play deep into spring.

Now they need to start behaving like it.

Now that they are in the process of erasing the traditional Clippers jinx off their resume, they need to lose the traditional Clippers chip off their shoulder and stop turning Lob City into Lob Alley."
