Last night the Golden State Warriors kept their winning ways rolling with a victory over their rivaled Los Angeles Clippers. The contest was tough but the Dubs pulled out a win over the Clippers thanks to another fantastic performance from the reigning NBA MVP, Stephen Curry.
Although the Clippers lost, they appeared to chalk the game up as a moral victory but also managed to take a shot at the Memphis Grizzlies at the same time. They tweeted the following last night. (Which has since been deleted).
The #didntloseby50 hastag the Clippers used is a direct shot at the Memphis Grizzlies in reference to the Grizz losing to the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday. And as you would guess, the Grizzlies lost by 50.
It was another dominating performance by Stephen Curry against the Grizz, so they couldn’t do much about it. Instead of the Clippers just taking the loss, they had to rub it in the Grizzlies face and the players weren’t all too happy about it.
Following from Ronald Tillery of the Commercial Appeal.
Courtney Lee: “It’s childish. 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: “You ever seen the movie ‘White Men Can’t Jump’? It’s like those bothers would rather look good in a loss and 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.”
Zach Randolph: “I take it with a grain of salt. I ain’t with all that talking and Instagraming and tweeting and bluffing. You got to prove it on the court.”
Coach Dave Joerger: “I don’t do Twitter.”
This just adds to the notion that nobody in the NBA likes the Clippers. DeMarcus Cousins doesn’t, the Warriors haven’t for a while and now the Grizzlies, who have had problems with the Clippers before, don’t like the Clips either.
Good luck this season, LA.
