The Los Angeles Clippers gave the Golden State Warriors their toughest game of the season despite ultimately losing, and that’s something some in the organization are proud of.
After the Clippers fell 112-108 to the Warriors Wednesday night, the team’s Twitter account sent out a tweet that included a shot at the Memphis Grizzlies. They added a hashtag that said “didn’t lose by 50,” which is something the Grizzlies did on Monday night when facing the defending champs.
The Clippers later deleted the tweet because, after all, boasting about not losing by as much is the ultimate loser move.
Suffice it to say the Clippers’ tweet didn’t sit well with the Grizzlies.
“It’s childish,” Courtney Lee said of the Clippers’ tweet, via the Memphis Commercial Appeal. “We took our L and we kept it moving, right? We lost by 50. We didn’t cry over it, and went on to the next one. Apparently, they’re holding on to it. That’s what they got to do to overshadow their loss. Last time I heard, a loss is a loss. But that’s what they do over there.”
Tony Allen had an equally awesome opinion, and he earns bonus points for working in a “White Men Can’t Jump” reference.
“You ever seen the movie ‘White Men Can’t Jump’? It’s like those brothers would rather look good in a loss than look bad in a win. Whoever is in charge of their Twitter should be fired. I’ve never seen anybody broadcast losing. Who’s proud of losing — whether it’s by one, two three or 50? Enough said.”
Seriously, who boasts about their margin of defeat? That is pathetic.
