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”
What about other playoffs where you sucked ass Lou?
Dumbest shit I’ve ever heard, loser mentality, them dudes didn’t want to be in the bubble anymore.
Some players shouldn’t be speaking 🤦🏽♂️
NBA players acting like the bubble was like being in solitary confinement in a Siberian jail will forever be funny to me.
You know how much I would have loved to have a break from my family with Catered meals and time to play video games and hanging with my boys in 2020?!
They were playing ball while we were fighting over toilet paper and getting in that bitch Carol Baskin’s business. The nerve.
And it’s always the players who underachieved in the bubble lol
You understandably don’t hear anything from the champs or the finalists, but other early exit but still good teams like Dallas, Phoenix, Denver, Boston don’t have these constant “The bubble was literally the gulag” takes either.
You clearly haven’t seen LeBron’s comments on the bubble
The things is even if it was like that, everybody else was under the same circumstances so the ring itself still shouldn’t have an asterisk
Being away from your kids for almost 2 months does suck though even if you are at a resort.
These dudes were basically in a 5 star resort with nothing to focus on except for basketball, no travel, no nightlife, no media rumble and people pretend like that results in a less competitive basketball environment lmao…for a guy with no rings this is a pathetic statement.
most of these dudes came from the dankest, dirtiest, shittiest places too. Got a taste of the good shit and forgot where they came from
Four of the Nuggets starting 5 come from a basketball background with a comfortable upbringing. Basketball is a skill sport that is getting more skilled every year
The majority of the league the last 15 or so years has been players from middle/upper middle and higher households. Guys like LeBron, AI, Jimmy Butler, etc are the outliers
You gotta have the work ethic and genetics to make it to the league, and then add resources (AAU, private workouts, etc) on top and those prospects naturally rise above
Even Lebron dude. Like yes, his early childhood was tough. But by age 13-14, he was already kind of living the high life
Then there’s Steven Adams who thought the opposite. Love him for that response. Lebron was so over dramatic about it. It’s okay Lebron you don’t need to try to justify the championship lol.
Uh huh, sure.
Even if what he saying was true (most likely not) imagine working all your career to let other people try to validate your success lmfao… huge loser mentality
I’m gonna be honest… that’s ridiculous copium. How would you not be embarrassed to actually say those words 😭 it sounds like you’re trying to say you didn’t care even though you’re mentioning it years after the fact. And if it was true, then all that does is reflect poorly on you. Clippers fans would’ve loved a chip
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.
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 🔥
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
“Other people are saying this chip doesn’t matter. Fuck it yall@
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 you guys hear those rumblings? Yeah. Turns out thus isn’t a real championship.”
Let’s be real the only reason people don’t respect the bubble ring is because LeBron and the Lakers won that year.
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
That would explain why he snuck out to go to the strip club 😂
Kawhi, Paul George and Lou Williams locked in a bubble without girls?
Of course they were gonna choke the one season they were healthy.
He left to go to family member’s funeral ya hater
Lmao that’s such a dumb reason
We got a shot, just not that good of a shot
the most shocking thing about this is that trae young has a podcast
Giannis brother has a podcast
I’m a diehard hawks fan. I’m from atl I’ll rep the hawks till I die. I’ll defend trae young from now until he demands a trade because he’s the best passer in the league and a damn showman and y’all better show him the respect he deserves. But you’ll never ever catch me listening to that podcast lmao.
classic Clippers mentality right there
This was the infamous “Streetlights over spotlights” season too lol
And of course, this was Lou Williams before that season. What a moron lol
Lol up 3-1 and then all of the sudden decided to let your foot off the gas? Stfu.
Some loser ass shit mentality
That’s so clippers
I’m not going to watch the clip and just assume he’s making a joke
fans: yeah the bubble ring should have an asterisk next to it
lakers fans: heh, well the players still took it seriously, so it still counts!
players: yeah the bubble ring should have an asterisk next to it
lakers fans: NOOOOOOOOOO HE’S A LOSER!!! IT COUNTS! IT COUNTS!You have so many chances to make fun of Lakers fans saying wild shit on this sub, and you choose a comment where a Lakers fan is being reasonable?
