Doc Rivers' departure? "I don't even watch that stuff. … I wasn't following it. … That's strange,
Sure sounds like he didn't know
We don't have the actual question, right?
But to me it sounds like the question he was answering, regardless of how it was worded, was "how do you feel about the circumstances surrounding Doc's departure?"
It is preposterous to think that he didn't know about Doc's departure. Among other things his new coach already said he's spoken to every player on the team. I'm quite sure that the team did notify players about the change, and that players do talk to each other during the off-season. Bass surely has friends who would have asked him about this even if he tries to isolate himself. And, this was major news in the sports world.
In the classic words of my father-in-law, you are trying to make a whole chicken out of a feather here.
You should change the thread title IMO.
