Matt Johnson, who also goes by Mattafact, has had it with the Los Angeles Clippers.

While the team has pulled itself out of the generations-deep hole it was once in, the Clips have quickly secured a reputation for itself as squad of really, really talented players who just can’t seem to close the deal. Season after season.

But the start of this latest season has been especially rough for the team and its fans, who are now experiencing a losing season at 6-7.

Johnson, a 30-year-old Atlanta-based TV reporter who was born and raised in Ventura County, Calif., has released a hip-hop track featuring a beat made by producer Smuff tha Quiz to, uh, express his frustrations:

“Being a Clipper fan is a perpetual cautionary tale,” Johnson raps, before bringing it all home with the memorable chorus: “You think you got it bad? / Your team is making you sad? / I’m a Clipper fan, sadness is all I’ve ever had. / I’m a sucker for dunks, and a glutton for punishment / Clipper basketball, can’t get enough of it.

Johnson, whose been a Clips fan since the 2001 season, shares with Upvoted that the latest Warriors loss (117-124) was the tipping point for him.

“A 23-point lead, really? The fact they couldn’t step on their throat when they hate that stupid team and that stupid team hates them was just so deflating,” Johnson says. “It just made me really question whether they’d ever be able to overcome all the devastating losses we’ve seen them endure.”

Below, Johnson answers a few questions about his music and his thoughts on the future of the Clippers.

How long did it take you to create the song and video?

I started writing some of the song after the first Warriors loss, and then finished it right after the second loss. I finished writing it and recorded it that night [of the second game] in my closet with my USB mic and MacBook.

What’s the response been like so far from Clipper fans?

I had a feeling that it would be popular among Clipper fans but I didn’t think it would be this popular. And I wrote this BEFORE they got blown out by two teams… so I think we’re all at that tipping point where we’re wondering what’s up with Doc’s rotations and why certain players keep going about their same predictable routines that have not gotten the team anywhere.

It’s not allllll sadness, right? What’s your fave Clipper memory from the last few years?

My favorite moment has to be Chris Paul hitting the one legged series clinching shot. The future was so bright. It was so unexpected. I was at work on my lunch break at a Firehouse Subs in San Diego just losing my mind and jumping up and down. Unforgettable.

It’s not allllll sadness, but then it kind of is because any happy moment has been followed up with some kind of just inexplicable soul-crushing moment. The year the Clippers were good with Dunleavy in the playoffs… the Daniel Ewing moment.

Last year, they knocked off the Spurs in the best playoff series I’ve ever seen. They follow it up with the worst playoff loss in NBA history. I mean, at least when they were awful there was no chance I’d crawl up in a ball and cry myself to sleep after a loss. Now that’s in play every night.

Who’s your favorite Clippers player?

Blake is my favorite player and I’m a Blake apologist for sure, but there’s got to be a better way to get him to play better in fourth quarters. It’s been disappointing to watch the team unravel late in games partly because the players are not in the best positions to succeed.

Your 2011 song “The Blake Show” is considerably more upbeat and optimistic than this one—what’s changed for the Clippers between then and now, you think?

“Blake Show” was when possibilities were endless and we all thought CP3 was the kind of player to change the Clippers culture. What’s changed is that the culture is still the same, but instead of being the laughing stock of the league for never sniffing the playoffs, they’re a laughing stock for how they have choked away play-off games.

Do you make music not about basketball?

Before this, my other most popular songs have been about journalism! I’ve always been good at just taking a concept and expanding it into a song. Whether it’s journalism, being a father-to-be, or the Clippers.

What are your thoughts on Doc Rivers?

I like Doc but being a motivator is supposed to be his strength and he’s failing at that right now. When a team has the biggest playoff loss of all time, you have to put the blame on the shoulders of the coach.

All these other collapses, that’s the coach not keeping his team motivated. He’s also a pretty bad team builder as a GM, yet again proving coaches should never be GMs. But if he and Josh Smith turn out to have yelled at each other because Doc wanted him to stop chucking up 3s then maybe he IS trying to make basic adjustments. But that’s giving Doc a lot of credit.

What do you think the Clippers need to do to turn it around?

The Clippers need a serious Come to Jesus moment. They’re up 23 on the Warriors and [are] still complaining about calls in the typical fashion that got them hated by every ref and opposing player in the league.

Doc’s rotations have obviously been suspect. For all of Josh Smith’s flaws, he could match up well against that daunting Warriors small ball lineup. Now is the time to be experimenting with those kind of lineups.
