The Clips folded because we *beat the shit out of them*

And if you throw game 1 out - basically a scheduled loss given the circumstances - we were neck and neck with them in most meaningful metrics going into game 5.

I mean, we gave game 3 away ourselves.

It is what it is - the Clips Collapse narrative is real and much juicier, so people will focus on it instead. But ultimately, they lost because we had the best players in the series, we had a better coach, and we just generally beat their fucking asses when it mattered.

Looking forward, I would assume we are not counting on another historic collapse. Uh, I think, anyway.
