NBA - Main

He's still bitter because they lost. No way he'd be saying this if they won The Finals that year.

Lol ok

Yeah, and Lou Williams also hates lemon pepper wings.

LMFAOOOOO THEY WERE UP 3-1.. That has to be the WORST and most ignorant excuse for choking in such brilliant fashion. Millions of people watched, regardless. WEAK mentality

man even if that were true, you'd never hear me saying it...

Clippers are in the dirt rn my lord

This is the most braindead thing I’ve ever heard.

That attitude is probably one of the reasons why they traded him.

The foot never went back on the gas

Cap

"Honestly we didn't even want to win"

BS lol.

Alex Caruso missed his sister's wedding to stay in the bubble.

Lou went to the strip club to get some wings.

The right guy won that ring.

They need to stop making excuses and just own the fact that through poor discipline they choked away the best shot at a championship they were ever going to get.

“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”

This is a braindead take for all the reasons that everyone pointed out, but let me add one more:

rumblings that nobody is going to respect this chip

There were no rumblings! Remember what it felt like during those bubble playoffs? Remember that crazy Nuggets Jazz series when Murray and Mitchell popped off and Jokic destroyed Gobert in that game seven? Remember Luka putting up ridiculous stat lines against the Clippers? Remember Westbrook and Harden falling apart vs the Lakers, and that 7-game coaching battle between Brad Stevens and Nick Nurse? Remember Jimmy putting the whole team on his back in game 5 of the Finals?

Everyone who actually watched the 2020 playoffs knows damn well that the players, media, and fans took it seriously. Probably even more so because we were balls deep in the pandemic and had nothing else to do. This whole "bubble doesn't count" narrative started like two years later. Just stop it.

This is ridiculous, if it’s actually true and I was Steve baller hearing it I’d have a stroke. I’d then trade everyone who was on that team and try to put something good together for the new stadium opening. The vibes were so good in 2019 with Tobias Harris, Lou Will ironically, Shai and Montrez. The vibes were phenomenal in 2019 until a few weeks before the shutdown. How did it all crumble so fast.

Lol bruh these players need to know when to just keep their mouths shut. Like does he know how pathetic this sounds lol.

That’s fucking embarrassing.

🧢… went up 3-1 and went F this chip? I got ya.

Craziest cope ever

This is such a dumb thing to say out loud

What a fucking loser mentality

Whatever let’s you sleep Lou

Bubble ring is a limited edition. Might not be the same but better than none.

Yeah...THATS why they didn't win... 🫥

Oh god are players gonna start saying they didnt care about winning the fucking NBA Championship just because it was in the bubble? What a joke, you all had the same opportunities to win it all as every other team. The bubble produced some of the greatest games ive ever seen

It was the closest they'll get to a chip in the next two decades, and the prior two decades. Maybe these grown men shouldn't have been that easily influenced from "rumblings." Lou shoulda stayed quite on this one if that was the general consensus in that locker room. This statement makes NO ONE absolutely NO ONE from that team look good.

He Lemon Peppered out of there.

If they hadn’t choked and had gone on to win he’d be up there talking about how it was the hardest championship ever to win

Lmao. Cope harder.

I feel like there are some things that are better left unsaid

bro…

Yo being a quitter is not a good thing

Lmao dude just making up excuses

I don’t usually approve of lame-ass excuses like this, but if this means we can delegitimize the bubble title from the Lakers and therefore have them short of tying us in total championships, then imma subscribe to this shit.

Lmao bunch of dumbasses

Simplified: cope
