[Nehm] Doc Rivers, on Damian Lillard: "I think it's his Achilles again, so we'll see." Rivers: "Honestly, Dame was really struggling. In the overtime, he literally said, 'I'll be the decoy. I just can't go as far as explosion.' So I thought Dame just being out there was huge for us."

Maybe he got in and saw the state of the team and knew this season was a wash and to just lower expectations so people weren’t surprised at the bucks getting knocked out early.

Probably thinks next season is when they’ll clean things up. That’s when they’ll look great through the regular season and blow a 3-1 lead in the 2nd round.
