I'm going to

tell you

now I'm speaking on behalf of the team

so the players are not going to deal with this issue. A lot of guys voice their opinions. None of them were happy about it. We're trying to go after something that we've all dreamed about all our childhoods and Donald or anyone else had nothing to do with that dream. Right now our goals haven't changed. Our focus is on Golden State and it's going to stay on Golden

State. This is episode four, Fall Up.

Play-Off Basketball is the pinnacle of basketball. That's what you play 82 games for. That's what you go through training camp for. The ups and downs of the seasons. The pain, the blood, sweat and tears. Blake

Griffin and the Clippers were right in the middle of the playoffs when TMZ released that Donald Sterling tape. Late on Friday night, April 25th, 2014.

Everyone had heard it. It was all anyone could talk

about all weekend. And now here it was Sunday morning, not even 48 hours later. And the Clippers, who had a 2-1 lead in the series against the Golden State Warriors, were supposed to play game four up in Oakland. The players had worked their asses off from the time they were too young to hold a regulation ball to get you this day. This was Sterling's mess, not the players. And yet here it was landing on their shoulders, consuming them.
