Doc Rivers fined by National Basketball Association for his outburst during Clippers-Nets game
“But the people we hired did, and they told me biometrically that this would be a good day for him to rest”.
The incident happened with 18.6 seconds remaining in the first overtime of the Clippers’ 127-122 double-overtime loss at Brooklyn on Tuesday night.
“I think we are smelling ourselves a little bit”. We haven’t done (expletive).
The Clippers missed some crucial free throws toward the end of the first overtime by Luc Mbah A Moute and DeAndre Jordan both missing one of two. Nothing. We were No. 1 in the West for a couple of weeks? That don’t mean nothing. “We weren’t even arguing”. “We came in here walking around like we’ve done something and that bothers me, because we’ve done crap. We haven’t done crap”, he said.
“She said I was right and let’s walk back”.
“I didn’t like it”.
Los Angeles (9-10), already playing without point guard D’Angelo Russell (knee), lost shooting guard Nick Young to a strained right Achilles just 1:50 into the game. I think you guys know why the tech was called.
They’ve done it before. He single-handedly demolished the Clippers and is why the Nets starters almost doubled the Clippers starters in points.
After the defense forced Paul to miss a step-back jumper, Kilpatrick converted a finger-roll and the ensuing free throw for a three-point play.
“Clearly, it’s something”, J.J. Redick said.
The Cleveland Cavaliers matched the best 16-game start in franchise history and aim to add another victory to the win total when they host the Los Angeles Clippers on Thursday.
Did success get inside the heads of the Clippers? “But we got to get back to our ways, man, because if not, it’s going to be a long season”.
Also, the Clippers starters were outscored by the Nets starters. Then, things got interesting.
“Humility and respect – you’ve got to have it”, he said. They’ve had no choice but to recognize it.
After being taken No. 11 overall in the 2012 National Basketball Association draft as a young, project big man to go alongside superstar and No. 6 overall pick Damian Lillard, the IL big man struggled as he wrestled with the defensive concepts and speed of the National Basketball Association. The last time an undrafted player had a big night like that was Anthony Morrow who scored 42 in February 2012 and the last time a Nets player had a better game than 38 and 14 was Vince Carter.
