In a bruising, emotional game the Timberwolves, led by former Clipper spark plug Patrick Beverly, came back from 7 points down to edge the Clippers 109-104 last Tuesday night.īeverly, a fiery, combative point guard who guards his man like he insulted his sister, taunted, trolled and mind-tripped his former teammates all game long. The loser of that game would then have to play the winner of the 9-10 game between the Pelicans and the San Antonio Spurs for the 8th, and last seed.
But under the new format adopted last season, they qualified only for the play-in tournament.įirst they had to play the seventh place Minnesota Timberwolves, with the winner earning the 7thseed. Under the old format they would have automatically qualified for the playoffs. Oh, sure, the Clippers made the play-in mini-tournament, whereby the teams that finished 7-10 in the Western Conference battled it out for the last two spots in the real playoffs.īut even there the Clippers got screwed after finishing the regular season in eighth place.

No, just a week after the Lakers missed the playoffs and immediately fired Coach Frank (scapegoat) Vogel, we’re talking about the LA Clippers.įriday night’s shocking 105-101 loss to the New Orleans Pelicans made it official: for the first time since the 2004-05 season both the Lakers and Clippers were done before the NBA playoffs even got started Saturday afternoon.įollowing UCLA’s loss in the round of 16 and USC’s loss in the first round of the NCAA playoffs last month, it’s been a short, nasty and brutal spring for Los Angeles hoops fans. The epic failure stunned players, coaches, owners and fans.īut it’s not that whiny, over-the-hill, alleged-super-star-studded team of LeBron and a bunch of losers that we’re talking about now.

Shows an additional column with a difference in held value from the previous run. Set a directory for saving fail counters to dir (default is /tmp/vzubc.store). This mode is denoted by a + sign before the FAIL column header. Relative mode: for fail counters, instead of showing the absolute value, calculate the difference from the previous run.
