In the eye of the storm following their nightmarish entry into the series against Dallas, the Clippers are moreover the subject of a very unflattering rumor. This would have been confirmed by a person close to the franchise … via a simple text.
The chalice to the dregs. Unexpectedly and shamefully ejected from the playoffs last year, the Clippers have been going through the same mishap in recent days. Defeated twice on their floor by Dallas, Tyronn Lue’s men see the specter of elimination in the first round grow. At the same time, their behavior at the end of the regular season earned them even more criticism.
Beaten in quick succession by Houston and Oklahoma City in the last two games before the playoffs, they ended up in 4th place in the West. For many, this would sound like a maneuver to avoid the Lakers ahead of hypothetical conference finals. A theory that left Chris Broussard skeptical of FOX Sports, until the latter went fishing for information for the program “Undisputed”.
