Doc Rivers Held Back, J.R. Smith’s Alter Ego, Oregon’s Helfrich Fired
BASKETBALL
Clippers’ Coach Doc Rivers flew out of control during Tuesday night’s matchup against the Brooklyn Nets. After a technical foul call at the end of the first overtime,  Rivers had to be held back from running at the refs and was ejected from the game shortly after his outburst. The Clippers ended up losing in double overtime. Nets 127, Clippers 122.
The Cleveland Cavaliers lost to the Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday night, but the talk was J.R. Smith wearing a black ski mask during the press conference after the game.  Smith said the ski mask was a gift from his trip to Ohio State last weekend, and it represents his alter ego. He said his “alter ego” has a name but wouldn’t mention what it is.

After a disappointing season, the Oregon Ducks fired head coach Mark Helfrich. According to reports, it was a tough decision as Helfrich was well liked and is sitting on a $11.6 million buyout. No replacement has been named yet.
