LOS ANGELES – City officials are warning basketball fans to stay away from downtown unless they have tickets to Game 7 of the NBA finals between the Los Angeles Lakers and Boston Celtics.
In an attempt to prevent the kind of unrest that broke out after the Lakers won last year's championship, police will deploy hundreds of officers around Staples Center and other parts of the city Thursday to deter anyone from spoiling a potential celebration should the Lakers seize their 16th national championship.
"Win or lose let's honor our hometown team for the amazing season they've given us and let's honor our city and our neighbors by respecting all our laws," Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa urged fans Wednesday.
Police Chief Charlie Beck said officers will set up a perimeter around Staples Center to let in only those with tickets to the game. Tactical units will stick around afterward to dissuade fans from congregating outside the arena.
Los Angeles County Sheriff Lee Baca said he has notified hundreds of deputies to be on hand in case the police department needs backup.

WE know what happens when LA wins. Sit back and watch the destruction tonight from the the City of Assholes I mean "Angels".....Angels my ass.
Although, we KNOW the REAL fans don't do this crap, it's the normal SCUM using it as an EXCUSE to do what they do best. Act like SCUM.

Just at who's in this picture 'warning the Latinos and Blacks not to riot', because we know that's all that lives in LA anymore besides Hollywood loons and number two the Blackhawks 2 million people strong celebration with NOT ONE VIOLENT INCIDENT.
A Latino Mayor, a black police commissioner and a white Fire Commissioner.
What a sweet little PC rainbow of racial representation, isn't it? Give ME A ^(*^(*^)&+( BREAK. Are they the the 'best people' for the job, or are they 'just the right colors?
We'll see how much 'their people' mind their 'leaders' words at the end of the night tonight. No one had to warn the Chicago fans to be mellow, and because why? You know why.
That is of course if they even win, which I hope they do not, just so the city doesn't have to clean up the all the usual 'blood and mess' since they have no fu**ing money to do it with in the first place.
Which is amazing when you consider the county and city of LA with all that 'concentrated wealth' that Hollywood has is totally out stripped and outgunned by all the deadbeat illegals and others who haven't worked a fucking day since birth in this country and don't contribute a damn thing to the betterment of America each and every day like the rest of us.
Hawks fans have something the thugs in LA can NEVER have: <span>CLASS</span>!
