Losing in the first round of the NBA playoffs in consecutive years is already frustrating, but doing so three years in a row is something that would cause an organization to think about a major change. While the Los Angeles Clippers could very well still shake things up this offseason, they kept their season alive on Thursday night.

Led by their veteran scoring trio of James Harden, Norman Powell, and Kawhi Leonard, the Clippers pushed their first round series against the Denver Nuggets to a Game 7 and gave themselves a chance to face the Oklahoma City Thunder in the first round. Looking to finally get the team over the hump, Harden shared a blunt four word message regarding Game 7.
