Not long after the Clippers were eliminated by the Houston Rockets in the Western Conference semifinals when the Rockets won Game 7 on Sunday in Houston, Blake Griffin was asked about the so-called “Clippers Curse.” The question seemed to center on the team never having gotten past the conference semifinals in franchise history, more than anything else.

Griffin seemed less-than-thrilled with the question, but he responded.

“The ‘Clippers Curse’ when I first got here was No. 1 picks getting hurt and not working out, their draft picks not working out and them not making the playoffs, them not having winning seasons,” he said. “No one talked about getting past the second round, not a single soul talked about that. But now, that’s what everyone talks about. Just like the last one, we’re going to bust through this one.”
