The Los Angeles Clippers have begun to look like they’re slumping, and Blake Griffin is now saying that they need to make a change. (per the Los Angeles Times)

This comes after the loss to the Portland TrailBlazers, which, let’s be honest, was quite the surprise. They looked as if they just didn’t care enough on the court. According to Griffin, that isn’t the case.

“It’s not something we’re just ‘whatever’ about it, moving on,” Clippers forward Blake Griffin said late Friday night of the team’s struggles, “but we’ve got to make changes. We’ve got to have a sense of urgency to do that now, but at the same time, no one’s crumbling.”

“The guys that have been here … we’ve got to be better,” Griffin said while referencing J.J. Redick, Chris Paul, DeAndre Jordan and Jamal Crawford in addition to himself. “We’ve got to show everybody the way a little bit. Not that they don’t know how to play, but just our style and the way we deal with things. We’ve got to find it.”

Chris Paul also added:

“We start taking the ball out of the net a lot of times in the fourth quarter and we’re a team that likes to play up and down,” Paul said, “so it gets tough having to run sets and different things like that down the stretch.”

What does Doc Rivers have to say about the whole ranking 27th in the league in rebounding and being outrebounded by an average of 5.5 a game?

“We’ve got to figure it out because it’s not just [Friday], it’s been every night.”

“To me, it comes down to a sense of urgency every night,” Rivers said. “We played Golden State [Thursday] night and the urgency we had, you could visually see it. And we start out [Friday] and I think we think because people think we’re good or whatever, we kind of show up and try to get into the game.”

The Clippers hit the court again this afternoon at 12:30 pm PST, as they try to get back on track against the Toronto Raptors.
