Magic Johnson trolls the Clippers after blow out loss
By Mike Dyce
Magic Johnson trolled the Los Angeles Clippers after they blew a 3-1 lead to get eliminated from the NBA Playoffs.
The Los Angeles Clippers were up three games to one in the second round of the NBA Playoffs, and it looked like they were headed to the Western Conference Finals.
The Houston Rockets were able to come back and force a Game 7, which would be played in Texas. They then dominated the Clippers at home to win the series and head to the Western Conference Finals, shocking the Clippers.
It even shocked NBA and Los Angeles Lakers legend Magic Johnson.
I thought the Spurs taught the Clippers how to win after a tough 7 game series. I was wrong. The Clippers are still the Clippers.

That wasn’t his only hot take. He thinks this series will haunt the Clippers.
The Clippers organization will always remember not closing out the Rockets in Game 6 at home. That game will always haunt them.

That one is likely true, the Clippers had a great chance to make the Western Conference Finals and it slipped through their fingers.
Magic wasn’t going to lay the blame on Chris Paul though. Which makes you wonder who he thinks is to blame.
The Clippers defeat is not on Chris Paul, he played with a lot of heart and energy!
