Magic Johnson: ‘The Clippers are still the Clippers’
Magic Johnson is typically a master of pointing out the obvious via Twitter, but on Sunday he actually had a little bite with his commentary.
After watching the Clippers blow a 19-point lead in Game 6 of the Western Conference semifinals and then seeing the Houston Rockets win Game 7, Magic said the Clippers were still chokers.
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.

Considering we’re used to gems like this one from Magic’s Twitter account, seeing him troll the Clippers was a surprise.
He had a few more tweets about the Clippers too:
The Clippers organization will always remember not closing out the Rockets in Game 6 at home. That game will always haunt them.

The Clippers defeat is not on Chris Paul, he played with a lot of heart and energy!

I think the Clippers must make roster changes if they want to get to the Western Conference Finals and the NBA Finals!

Don’t think that Magic’s basketball tweets were limited to his thoughts on the Clippers; he also had something to say about the Lakers.
Laker Nation: We want to bring Coach Scott some luck in NY on Tuesday so wear your Purple & Gold! I will have my Lakers gear on all day!

Laker Nation: I guarantee we will be better next season. Jim Buss and Mitch Kupchak will have a great offseason!
