You gotta be ready to play, your numbers called, you’re in the damn game, I don’t need no f***ing coach to inspire me. Never that, never have, never will. The day I need a coach to inspire me is the day I’m f***ing retiring.

Hearing Tristan Thompson tonight be critical of the long line of “my bads” heard from Kings teammates of late reminded me of the great quote from Michael Malone, while as Kings coach once quipped:
“‘My bad’ gets your ass kicked.”
