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”

Dumbest shit I’ve ever heard, loser mentality, them dudes didn’t want to be in the bubble anymore.

[–] radskorpion@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] TallanoGoldDigger@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (3 children)

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

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.

Uh huh, sure.

[–] Jaylenz0@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Professor_Finn@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] rejectx@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (9 children)

They went 3-1 against Nuggets, and then said "nah, man it's not worth it".

[–] loplopplop@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Getting his shit kicked in then going "nah, I didn't care anyways" as he's wiping his tears.

[–] LaMarc_Gasoldridge_@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

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.

[–] Rahnamatta@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I wasn't trying anyways.

My cousin's daughter doesn't even say that when we were playing cards yesterday

[–] CmonTouchIt@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

"we didnt win cause we didnt try"

this is some of the dumbest shit ive ever heard lmaoooo why would you willingly say this??

[–] CanEverythingNotSuck@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

There’s no way he believes this. It’s just a weak ass excuse for blowing a 3-1 lead in a year where everyone ignorantly predicted them to cakewalk their way to a chip.

What a soft fucking thing to say.

[–] No_Match_7939@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Loser franchise has a loser mentality

[–] m_d_def@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

they even didnt think winning against Memphis yesterday was worth it

[–] eexxiitt@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Now that’s what you call an excuse for losing lol

[–] Illustrious-Stuff-70@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Dumbest excuse ever smfh

I think a lot of people here are just reacting to the quote and didn’t listen to him honestly

He says in the clip that they didn’t want be there at the start, that it was hard to get them to go to the bubble in the first place. And ultimately once they heard some outside talk they essentially found reaffirmation to their thoughts that they shouldn’t be there.

That said, it really comes off as loser talk that it comes out now lol

[–] all_natural49@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

So many people were just mailing it in effort-wise at that time.

Why is this so unbelievable?

[–] StarScourge7@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Yea that's why they lost. Not because denver was better or because the clippers are losers and have always been historically (not trying to be a dick I'm just being real). It's because they took the foot off the gas!? Brilliant!

[–] Js_On_My_Yeet@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Flippers culture lol

[–] ChunkyMilkSubstance@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago
[–] LostNPC01@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

He is getting crucified for this sentence taken out of a long conversation on how they lost it during the bubble and PG even mention "depressed". Come on guys, be fair

[–] alarmingkestrel@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

This is hilarious copium

[–] IgnorantGenius@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Wow, that just shows you the mentality. He values chicken wings over championship rings.

[–] esports_consultant@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

This is enough copium to keep the entire Titanfall community alive for at least five years.

[–] TatumTopFye@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Oh fuck that, you salty bitch. 🤣

[–] UTRAnoPunchline@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

[–] StellarStar1@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago
