The Los Angeles Clippers had a monumental collapse in the playoffs last season, which came in the form of a second round exit at the hands of the Denver Nuggets. L.A. had a seemingly insurmountable 3-1 lead, only for Denver to defeat them in three straight games. For his part, Clippers forward JaMychal Green seems to have hinted as to who's to blame for his team's historic flake out.
Green had a brief exchange with a random fan on his own Instagram account, and this is how it went down (h/t Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints):

The fan called out Green for losing steam towards the latter part of the season, and the 6-foot-8 power forward seemed to have taken offense at the jab. He responded by practically saying that he shouldn't be blamed for the same.




So who is then? It's not as if Green dropped a name or anything here. He did imply, however, that there is actually someone else to blame — and it's obviously not him.
Could it be former Clippers head coach Doc Rivers? Perhaps this is Green's subtle way of saying that he's unhappy with the role he was provided with, for at least the latter part of the campaign. Looking at Green's numbers, though, they were actually pretty consistent throughout the season. That is to say that he wasn't really killing it to start the campaign. His minutes were virtually the same as well.
As a matter of fact, Green's numbers from last season were nearly identical to his stats from the previous campaign. This being said, maybe we're just not getting what he's trying to say here. Any social media detectives out there willing to chime in?
