First, he didn't blame the refs for the loss. He said they made it harder to win against a great team like the Spurs, and that his team didn't execute. Second, any coach who sees his star get mauled like that in a playoff game with no call needs to call out the refs. It's part of his job.

"This was bad form," our columnist writes. "An apparent byproduct of his team forgetting how to lose was Brown forgetting how to handle defeat."
