Williams said this on Trae Young’s podcast “From the Point,” referencing the Clippers’ loss in 7 games to the Denver Nuggets in the Western Conference semifinals.
Williams said, “We started to hear the rumblings that nobody is going to respect this chip so we kind of just took our foot off the gas”
They went 3-1 against Nuggets, and then said “nah, man it’s not worth it”.
Getting his shit kicked in then going “nah, I didn’t care anyways” as he’s wiping his tears.
Even worse. they were up big in all 3 close out games. So they didn’t even pack it in up 3-1, they packed it in at half-time of each close out game. Began each game wanting the chip then at half-time reading twitter and deciding they didn’t really want to win x3.
The Doc Rivers effect
Let it be remembered that they blew back to back double digit second half leads in games 5 and 6. I guess they remembered that they weren’t trying and let the nuggets come back everytime
And up like 17 with about 13 minutes left in game 5 too iirc
A complete and utter choke job
Let’s be real the only reason people don’t respect the bubble ring is because LeBron and the Lakers won that year.
for a guy that had two girlfriends at the same time, this quote cracks me. equivalent to being shot down at the bar and say, nah, she wasn’t worth my time
Did he stop caring in game 2 when he shot 6-16 with 13 points?
Or game 3 when he shot 11 to score 10
Hb game 4 when he shot 10 to score 4
Had 7 points on 11 shots in game 7 🔥
“Other people are saying this chip doesn’t matter. Fuck it yall@
“Did you guys hear those rumblings? Yeah. Turns out thus isn’t a real championship.”
