I'm sure you are made aware of the comments.

Donald Sterling is wondering your thoughts on the first prize?

I don't know if I'm surprised or not. I didn't like the comments. Obviously. 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. Not a more 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. Fallout.

Playoff 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, laid on Friday night April 25th, 2014.

I'm just saying, and you're not going to have to have yourself with walking with black people. You don't have to.

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 two-one 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 to this day.

This was Sterling's mess, not the players. And yet here it was, landing on their shoulders, consuming them.

I just remember as a team, we had to talk about it almost every time we met. You know what I mean? Because it was that big of a thing.

Clipper Coach Doc Rivers had seen a lot in his time. He'd experienced the highs and the lows of the NBA.

First as a player, then as a coach. He'd also survived his own house being burned down.

In what was believed to have been a racially motivated incident. But even he had never seen anything quite like this.

Like I didn't understand the magnitude. I knew what Downstone Sterling had said was awful. But I thought it was a sport thing.

And then when we went to the press conference and when I pulled up and I saw CBS truck, ABC truck, and then I saw the newsman, I had to let the players always get off the bus first.
