    At least he was truthful about it. Somehow that doesn’t make it better though.

    Kind of wonder what game he was talking about.

    The one where Damian scored 29 or the game where he scored 36? Because in one of those games he scored 14 in the 1st period, 4 in the 2nd and 18 in the 3rd and didn't play in the 4th.

    The other had 10 in the 1st, and then 14 in the 3rd and 5 in the 4th.

    Well it's true. The refs control the game

    I have watched pretty much every game in Lillard's career.

    Fairly certain what he's saying is not close to being true. So many facts are wrong. That never happened in a game, and it certainly was not against Dame. For one thing, it was almost always Clarkson or Lou Willams that guarded Dame, not Russell.

    I have seen it though. They let Chris Paul beat the shit out of Dame against the Clips. The NBA is a joke. It's completely rigged compared to other pro leagues.

    Yeah I'm not seeing it. There is a sequence in the 29 point game where he hits a three and then gets an and-1 on D'Lo, but then CJ hits the 3 afterwards. And Dame only had 29 points. Not even sure if Kobe guarded him at the end.

    One of their games when he was playing with LA, dame said Russell said something pretty disrespectful and they could fight (off the court) if Russell wants to
