Read this on my mobile phone's SportsXchange page, though strangely, you have to be a paid member in order to access their website via a computer....It will be interesting to see which Clippers team show up on Wednesday against the Celtics. The one that played well against Golden State or the one that the Portland players described below:

Los Angeles Clippers Notes, Quotes
--Right or wrong, the Trail Blazers thought they detected some early quit in the
Clippers during what eventually resulted in a 116-87 Portland victory Sunday.
According to Blazers forward-center Channing Frye, Clippers coach Mike Dunleavy
kept calling the same plays over and over. In addition, several Portland players
said after the game that it seemed apparent to them that there was a lot of
bickering among Clippers players on the floor and it appeared that the players
didn't really like each other.

Losing begets losing

When it rains, it pours. Take whatever proverb you prefer.

These guys are losing badly, they have no leader, they don’t believe in their coach. Of course they despise each other right now, if they can put a little streak together that can change their attitudes alot.

The problem is

that since they don’t believe in each other or the coach, it’s not likely that they will put together such a streak

Here's a link...

Not the identical wording, but obviously taken from the same post game quotes from Frye and others…

I think Citizen Chuck is spot on – when you’re losing, all the cracks show. Winning is the best medicine in the world. These guys would like each other fine if they were winning basketball games.

I'll help the Clippers save some money

Fire the team scouts, sign up for ESPN Insider and use their mock drafts to determine your next draft pick.

Hire the lead assistant coach from a very good team/franchise. They will come cheaper than a name brand coach and this person will be untainted and removed from the team’s overall pitiful performance the past two seasons.

We just don't have a heiarchy of players

which could explain the bickering. On the Lakers, you know that Fisher and Kobe are the leaders, then Pau and Odom.
