It looks like the the Clippers are trapped in a quicksand, the more they try to get out of it, the more they sink. When you are playing on your home court against a team that has lost 7 straight, there is no excuse whatsoever to rationalize a loss. It is a shame that the tremendous game of Butler is overshadowed by this terrible loss. It did not help that Blake and DJ played uninspired basketball. Just like the last two games against BKN and Atlanta, the players were slow to respond, played hard at the end of the game but it was too late. If this is a team slump, then the recovery will not be soon.....
