Just when it seemed the Clippers had reached peak embarrassment after blowing a 3-1 lead to the Nuggets in the postseason just gone, the red-headed stepchild of LA basketball lost to the Mavs by an eye-popping 51-points on Sunday.
NBA Twitter, naturally, had no chill whatsoever, delivering a truly savage roasting from all angles in the aftermath:
