Sometimes you don’t know what you have until it’s gone. Sometimes you have to remind people that if they had just zigged instead of zagging, everything would have been alright. You’ve got to live and learn as they say, I suppose. So in honor or the Los Angeles Clippers epic collapse on what should have been a title run—with a special nod to Doc Rivers presiding over THREE epic 3-1 collapses—this week’s playlist is for for the “lost” ones.
