The Los Angeles Clippers got eliminated from the playoffs in just about the most heartbreaking way a team can. Now, the hot takes are shooting off like rockets.
The Clippers are choke artists! They should blow it up! Trade Blake Griffin! Trade Chris Paul! Let DeAndre Jordan walk in free agency! The Clippers can't win without Donald Sterling!
OK, so maybe no one is saying that last one, but the rest are, somehow, out in the public domain. It's as if when the Clippers blew a 3-1 lead to the Houston Rockets in the Western Conference Semifinals, they did it because Paul crumbled into nothingness or because Griffin neglected to play up to his abilities.
