Let’s all just take a collective deep, rejuvenating yoga breath and put the LA Clipper loss last night into perspective. Breathe in for 4, 3, 2, 1. Hold for 4, 3, 2, 1. Breathe out for 4, 3, 2, 1. Everyone breathing? Great. Let’s look at last night for what it really was. One loss in an 82 game schedule, against a very competitive team, with two MVPs anchoring their squad. These aren’t excuses, just facts.
Yes, the Clippers were leading by 15 points at half time, having all but shut down those two MVPs, James Harden and Russell Westbrook, in the first two quarters.
