By now you don't need me to remind you about the outstanding 40-point week Kobe dished out to his opponents over the last four games.  But leaving a bitter taste in the mouth of Laker fans is the loss on Saturday night at the hands of the Clippers.

It seems that the Lakers now need to find an answer to yet another Clipper threat!  No this is not a guy confused on whether he's a democrat or a republican -- this is Clipper Darrell.  Now over the weekend, Clipper Darrell tweeted, "Beat LA!!!  I cannot believe I had to get escorted around Staples Center because some Lakers fans don't know how to act".  Apparently he forgot that the Clippers ALSO play in Los Angeles.

Okay now last week I reached out to you all and asked to share your stories with me of your Laker fanaticism.  Well today I'd like to feature our TWO LakersNation fans of the week.  Our first comes from Enrique and Ruben Garcia who come to us from Portland, Oregon! The two were at the game a couple of weeks ago and shared with us a pic they took right outside of the Rose Garden.  The shot's a bit blurry, but that just might have been the tears on the lens from the Laker loss.  And this next one is from Tiana Whitsett who wrote to me from all the way in Mississippi and says she's been a Laker fanatic since 1979.  Now check this out, you talk about a TRUE Lakers fan, Tiana shared in the holiday spirit as she decked her house this past Christmas with a Lakers Christmas tree!  But she proves to us her Lakers passion with shots of her recent Laker themed baby shower!  As you can see, she had everything covered from a Lakers diaper cake, to pacifiers, and much more!  But none more special than this beautiful Christmas card she sent out of her 3 week old baby boy -- Kobe Kareem Ervin.  Wow --no pressure there.

If YOU have a story or pictures to share, send them over and you could be featured right here on LakersNation TV.  All you have to do is send me an email to [email protected] or shoot me a tweet by following me on twitter @jaybarquero.  Now as a heads up, I'm looking for our TOP Lakers or basketball memorabilia collectors in southern California!  So if you have a collection that is worth me coming out to your home to check out -- I wanna know and show if off to the world.

That about wraps it up for now, but lakers nation, if those pesky Clipper fans begin to hassle you around this week, let me help you out again:

That video just NEVER gets old.  I'm Jason Barquero for LakersNation TV, have a good one.
