Damian Lillard was one of four casualties of Team USA roster cuts late Friday night, losing out on a spot at a stacked position: point guard. Lillard was the odd man out of a group including Derrick Rose, Kyrie Irving and Stephen Curry. The cut was somewhat predictable, considering Lillard didn’t play a single minute in the final tune-up for Team USA on American soil. After Lillard rode the pine for 40 minutes, folks hopped on Twitter to offer words of encouragement and, of course, troll the Blazers’ point guard. While Lillard mostly responded to positive tweets, one particular troll didn’t escape his wrath.
“@Vin_Lee_: @Dame_Lillard we played the same amount of mins today bro” did we make the same amount of money today too?
