LA isn't like most other two sport cities. Generally, fans will just care about the teams they follow and not really care about what the other teams are doing. The Angels and Dodgers haven't really directly competed for anything. The Clippers are so far below the Lakers in terms of prestige that the Lakers could care less what Clips fans think. Until the past season and this year's playoff meet, the Kings and Ducks never even made the playoffs in the same year.
The only LA based rivalry which has the kind of enmity and bitterness seen in other two team cities is UCLA and USC--and they can't stand each other at all.
