Jesus Christ. One bad defensive performance and Fox goes from hero to zero.
People just can't recognize things for what they are. Even the Kings announcers fall into the trap all the time. Grant and Jerry referring to Lillard's performance as witnessing "greatness" made me want to vomit day glo.
It wasn't greatness. It was a hot night. Nothing more.
In the NBA, that kind of thing happens. Sacramento fans once saw Tony Delk score 53 at ARCO when he was a member of Phoenix Suns. Sure, Damian Lillard is an all-star level talent than Delk never was, but the point remains the same. Lillard will be the same player next game out but won't score 50 because the shots that were falling last night don't always fall like that.
It was just a case of a very good player getting hot. Even Garrett Temple -- known for his defense -- couldn't do anything to affect him. People railing on FOX need to relax.
