Clips not set for closing arguments
— -- LOS ANGELES -- Since the greatest intrigue about the Los Angeles Clippers is in the legality of team ownership and the NBA's say in it, maybe we should think of the basketball players in lawsuit terms. We're still in the discovery phase about them, sifting through the evidence to see exactly what we have on our hands here as the Clippers face a 2-1 deficit to the Oklahoma City Thunder.
So far the Clippers have shown an inability to handle prosperity. Three times in these playoffs they have taken a series lead and then lost the next game. The flipside is they've responded well to danger, whether it was a 1-0 deficit to the Golden State Warriors or a Game 7.
"That's the urgency you have to play with in the playoffs," Clippers coach Doc Rivers said. "And quite honestly, I think we've been in and out of that. That's, right now, the lessons we're learning. You can still keep getting better all through the playoffs. That's why you don't panic.
