"Timeout!!"
Clippers' head coach Rivers slammed the tactic board hard at the sideline, his suit and tie already skewed to one side. He couldn't hold it in any longer.
During the timeout.
The Clippers' bench was filled with Rivers' raspy voice: "Use your body! Increase the intensity!!"
"F*ck, stop acting like softies."
The Clippers players looked at each other, not daring to refute Rivers.
