The Los Angeles Clippers have had their fair share of tough seasons. But this time, even the arena ushers got in on the teasing.
After losing yet another home game, the Clippers walked off the court looking frustrated and tired. Fans had already left in disappointment. But what happened next really rubbed salt in the wound.
The ushers, yes, the people who help you find your seat, started taunting the team on their walk back to the locker room!
Sources from the area said it wasn’t mean-spirited. Still, it made a bad night feel worse. According to one report, an usher pointed at the scoreboard and said, “Better luck next time, fellas!” Another said, “Might want to find a new home court!”
The Clippers’ season has been filled with ups and many downs. Their star players haven’t always delivered. Injuries and inconsistent play have made it hard to build momentum.
Here’s a quick list of what’s gone wrong this season:
- Poor shooting nights — too many bricks, not enough swishes
- Frequent injuries to key players
- Fans growing restless and placing blame
- Losing streaks that kill any good vibes
And now, even ushers are joining the fan base in joking about the team! It’s not something you see every day in the NBA.
In some ways, the teasing shows just how much the city really cares. Even the staff working in the arena want to see their team win again. Who could blame them?
After all, Los Angeles is a basketball-loving city. There’s pressure when you share a town with the Lakers, a team full of titles and legends. Meanwhile, the Clippers are still chasing dreams.
Here’s what one fan said:
“We come here hoping for fireworks. We get fizzles. When the ushers are roasting the team, you know it’s bad.”
For the players, it’s tough. They’re professionals. They work hard. But in LA, talk is cheap and expectations are high.
This latest game was close—at least in the first half. But classic Clipper problems showed up late in the game:
- Turnovers everywhere
- Missed clutch free throws
- No energy on defense
The other team ran away with it, and by the fourth quarter, the crowd was mostly silent—except for a few boos. And of course, some giggling ushers.
The coaching staff tried to stay positive. In the post-game press conference, the head coach reminded the press that it’s a “long season” and they’re still working on “figuring things out.”
That might be true. But for many Clippers fans, patience has run thin. They’ve been hearing the same lines for years. They want results. They want wins. And most of all—they want respect.
Being the punchline in your own arena has to sting. But maybe, just maybe, this wakes the team up.
There’s still time to turn things around. The NBA season isn’t over yet, and stranger things have happened in basketball.
For now, though, LA’s “other” team is facing more questions than answers.
And the next home game?
You better believe security will be watching those ushers a little more closely.
