Lou Williams says Clippers didn't take the Bubble championship seriously

Entering the Orlando Bubble, the LA Clippers were favorites to win the championship over the Los Angeles Lakers. After a tiring first round against the Dallas Mavericks, Williams and the LA Clippers faced the Denver Nuggets in the WCSF.

The team was leading the series 3-1 and ended up blowing the lead to lose the series. Lou Williams said that his former team took its foot off the gas after hearing outside chatter.

“I think I was in the ‘bubble’ for 97 days and on day 67, I was like let’s get out of here,” Williams continued. “Mentally, we were not in it for the long game. We didn’t really see the pot of gold at the end of it. We started to hear the rumblings that nobody is going to respect this ‘chip so we kind of just took our foot off the gas.”

His comments drew a massive backlash from the fans on social media. Fans called out Williams and the entire Clippers team for their loser mentality. The Lakers ended up winning the championship defeating the Miami Heat in the Finals, giving LeBron James his fourth championship.
