Suns debacle last year), so I've actually turned around (I initially wanted the Suns to humiliate Kobe & co. because I didn't think they would really have a chance in this series), and I'd now be happy if the Lakers advanced so that the talent-superior Clippers will have an opportunity to gut them on their mutual home floor, and dispell 30+ years of inferiority-complex demons on the big stage of the Western conference semi-finals.

That said, in reference to the above argument, I haven't noticed any ref biass (one way or the other) in this fella tonight...

That would be great. I'd love for the Clips to run the lakers out of the tourney. There is not another team that would embarass the lakers more by beating them than the Clips.
