A war of words over a Detroit Pistons bench warmer continues anew.
I'll catch you up quickly and then get to the latest developments: On Saturday, after the Golden State Warriors beat the Pistons, Detroit guard Rodney McGruder had some pointed comments for the Dubs bench. We have since learned from Detroit role player Wayne Ellington that McGruder was defending his teammate, whom he felt was on the receiving end of Juan Toscano-Anderson's disrespectful trash talk earlier in the game.
Thompson, who's out for the year with a torn Achilles, was in attendance and doing announcing duties on NBC Sports when McGruder said whatever he said to the opposing team.
