DeAndre Jordan says Clippers 'haven't done s---'

Forget all the madness that unraveled in overtime - the Los Angeles Clippers shouldn't even have been in that position against the struggling Brooklyn Nets.

At least, not if the Clippers are as good as they thought themselves to be.

Center DeAndre Jordan fumed after Tuesday's 127-122 loss, ripping into his team for buying into their own hype.

"I think we are smelling ourselves a little bit," Jordan said according to ESPN's Ohm Youngmisuk. "We haven't done s---. Nothing. We were No. 1 in the West for a couple of weeks? That don't mean nothing. At all.

"I feel like we took that for granted. We thought we were a lot better than we really are. We got to continue to get better and have respect for the game."

The Clippers were riding high as recently as last week, when they owned the league's best record at 14-2. However their three-game trip through the Eastern Conference has humbled them quite a bit.

That stretch included losses to three sub-.500 teams in the Pacers, Pistons, and Nets, while each was missing a vital player (Paul George, Reggie Jackson, and Jeremy Lin were all sidelined).

The Clippers' slide has subsequently dropped them to third in the Western Conference, behind perennial rivals San Antonio and Golden State.
