Damian Lillard and Paul George Beef in the Bubble

NBA: Los Angeles Clippers at Portland Trail Blazers Kim Klement-USA TODAY Sports

Following the loss to the Los Angeles Clippers, Portland Trail Blazer Damian Lillard commented on the behavior of both Paul George and Patrick Beverly on the sidelines in his post-game media availability. According to Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports, Lillard stated that he sent both home.

Bleacher Report took the quote and turned it into a graphic, which Paul George took issue with on Instagram, according to Taylor Rooks.

Lillard had to clap back.

George appeared to attribute some things to his injuries and rehab on his Instagram story.

As Rip City knows, this kind of talk just fuels the fire of Damian Lillard, which is much needed as the Blazers take on the Philadelphia 76ers in the second game of a bubble back-to-back tomorrow afternoon.
