    Sounds as if he wants Lillard to get back on D quicker.
    On film, he noted the 6' 2" Lillard crashing the glass. “That’s a death sentence for a defense,” says Rivers.

    What you don't think surrounding Dame with the likes of Aminu (out of league, ool), Biggie (RIP), Harkless (ool), Crabbe (ool), Nards (ool), Melo (ool), Nas (pretty much ool), Bazemore (ool), Hezonja (ool), Ariza (ool), Covington (almost ool), Hood (ool, gets a pass), Tolliver (ool), Whiteside (ool), was a good idea?

    None of his FRP paid off except CJ, which was not an ideal fit with Dame.

    Gave up two FRP for Covington? sm-mf'ing-h

    You can't make shit like this up. Oshley was a fucking clueless tool. It's like he wasn't even trying.

    How bad was Griffin if fucking Doc Rivers solved their problem in like a month?

    Russell Westbrook laughs as he shoves Serge Ibaka out of the way for the fifth time in ten minutes. "Defense is for losers, winners go home and fuck the prom queen"

    Does he mean top rookie overall this season or top one game performance, or just top plus/minus?
    Sounds like he was bad, although Rivers kind of tries to make excuses for him.

    Thats why Terry left….from what I heard in some practices, Stotts was trying to help Griffin understand the best way to use Dame, and Griffin had had enough and went off on him in front of everybody!

    Well yeah you don't want to speak bad of a co-worker, even if they are kind of garbage, because what goes around comes around. Besides, aren't they all union? Labor solidarity and all that.

    Bad enough that he couldn't get along with Terry Stotts.

    Stotts will have the last laugh. He will get another HC job on the league since he was clearly right all along. Griff on the other hand…

    Griff will get a second chance as a convenient fool working under a hatchet man GM.

    Wow, Lillard made the Daily Mail. @Rastapopoulos tell your people to step off!

    Damian Lillard SLAMS referees after Iowa beats West Virginia in March Madness... fueling conspiracy theories as fans accuse NCAA of rigging game to ensure star Caitlin Clark stays in
    • The Milwaukee Bucks star was one of many to question the officials in the game
    • Iowa shot 25 more foul shots than West Virginia leading to conspiracy theories

    I hate how this reflects on Iowa basketball because they usually never get much ink in the press until Caitlin broke out. It's a problem with sports marketing and sports betting. Next thing you know they'll be paying these kids to take a dive and intentionally lose. We really need to change the way games are called and stop superstar favoritism by refs in all of basketball.

    Wasn't there a documentary about point shaving and all that happening before sports betting became mainstream?

    But favoritism will always be a thing as long as monopolies have a stranglehold on the sports landscape.
