Reggie Miller on Clippers Collapse: 'You can’t tell me it was all about chemistry'

Reggie doesn't buy the chemistry excuse, and neither should you.

Transcript

00:00 Reggie Miller doesn't buy the Clippers' excuses about not having enough chemistry to win an

00:05 NBA championship, and honestly, neither should you.

00:08 The Clippers spent all season talking about how they had great chemistry.

00:11 Lou Williams scoffed at any chemistry questions.

00:14 They ostracized a reporter for bringing up chemistry as an issue.

00:19 But at the end of the day, the moment the season ended, Lou Williams brought up chemistry

00:23 as an issue.

00:24 He said, "We did have championship expectations, and we had the talent to do it.

00:28 We didn't have the chemistry to do it, and it showed."

00:31 And Reggie Miller on the Dan Patrick show immediately said, "You can't tell me it was

00:34 all about chemistry."

00:35 Their crosstown rival has a brand new coach.

00:38 They got, what, six or seven new players as well?

00:40 Every Bradley's not even in the bubble, so everyone is dealing with chemistry in the

00:43 restart.

00:44 And he's perfectly accurate.

00:46 The Denver Nuggets didn't even have enough players to play five on five at the beginning

00:50 of the bubble.

00:52 Everybody had an issue.

00:53 The Clippers never brought up chemistry once until the second they literally lost, which

00:59 just shows any type of grasping at straws excuse imaginable, whether it's chemistry,

01:04 whether it's fatigue.

01:05 You can't use those things.

01:06 At the end of the day, all that happened is the Clippers and Doc Rivers failed to adjust

01:12 at the end of every single game because they lost every single game the exact same way.

01:16 They were up by an average of 15 points from games five to seven.

01:20 You can't go up 16, 19, and 12 and lose all three games in the same exact way.

01:26 And that's what they did.

01:27 So they didn't adjust and the team flat out choked from top to bottom on every single

01:32 person in the team.

01:33 It wasn't a chemistry issue.
