LOS ANGELES – Normally, the words stay in the locker room.
It’s not uncommon for the frustration associated with losing to manifest itself in four-letter words and evil-eyed glares.
It is uncommon, however, for the expletives to travel clearly through cement walls in an adjacent room where the media can clearly hear them.
That’s where the Clippers are, though, following another disappointing loss, this time a 91-80 clunker to Toronto on Sunday afternoon at Staples Center.
Forward Josh Smith’s expletives aimed at a Clippers coach could be deciphered in the aftermath of the game, and honestly, it probably shouldn’t be all that surprising.
