  15-12-2019 22:56 via ocregister.com
  
  Even in retirement, Ralph Lawler is keeping it real: “Guess you could blame schedule for Clipper Loss in Chicago,” tweeted the Hall of Fame former Clippers broadcaster after the Clippers’ 109-106 loss Saturday in a game that started about 22 hours after the team’s victory in Minneapolis had.
