The internet is agog over Big Baby’s emotional outburst (ok, he cried<\/strong>) during the Portland game.\u00a0 Some have called it embarrassing… but not Big Baby<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not embarrassed at all. I\u2019m emotional about the game. That\u2019s one of my best features – being emotional, playing out there with passion. Sometimes it\u2019s not always good passion. Sometimes it\u2019s bad, but that\u2019s just me being young. You have to learn how to funnel that emotion and keep it inside until you put it out.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

How do you not love that guy?\u00a0 But Doc says there is a downside.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe only thing I don\u2019t like – and I told the team this and Baby this – is that if another player has to spend time calming you down, then you\u2019re a distraction at that moment. We are an emotional team, and I want us to be an emotional team, but what I don\u2019t want us to be is a distraction to each other while the game\u2019s going on.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And of course… don’t think the guys are going to let him get away with it.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe message was delivered and (Davis) heard it eventually. They still love him and there\u2019s been a lot of jokes since that in our locker room.\u201d<\/p>\n

Any good ones?<\/p>\n

\u201cNone that I can say,\u201d Rivers said. \u201cNo, it was good right after the game. They were all laughing about it.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
