Kawhi Leonard and the Los Angeles Clippers will not be playing against the Los Angeles Lakers in the Western Conference Finals after blowing a 3-1 lead.
The Denver Nuggets, who also came back from a 3-1 deficit against the Utah Jazz, will be going instead. The Nuggets are the first team in NBA history to force their way to advancing after overcoming consecutive 3-1 series deficits.

Of course, NBA Twitter let loose on the Clippers with a barrage of jokes and jabs. NBA stars like Damian Lillard, CJ McCollum, and Kevin Love also commented on it all with the aforementioned Blazers players doing some Cancun-related trolling. Back in August, Lillard, Paul George, and Patrick Beverleytraded shots after Bev yelled "Dame Time" at Lillard when he missed two free throws.

The only thing that can redeem Kawhi and the Clippers after this, is if the Nuggets do the same thing to LeBron and the Lakers
