Let's not overlook the Clippers' part in all of this. They were the ones that pulled the stopper out of the tub and allowed Game 6 to go down the drain when they simply quit playing with just under three minutes left in the third quarter and a 19-point lead the other nightThe plain and simple truth is the Clippers never recovered from the impact of that knockout punch they never saw coming. They told everyone who asked that it was already in the past. They told themselves it was in the past. But they took the court for Game 7 and their heads were still spinning, their eyes were still glazed over. They lost the last three games of the series by 21, 12 and 13.
