Doc Rivers Los Angeles Clippers Stagger Set Play
Kevin Garnett thinks that his old coach Doc Rivers is the biggest reason that he has been so successful in the NBA. Doc Rivers was one of his closest influences that he had in league as well as former Timberwolves Sam Mitchell. Kevin Garnett has long credited Sam Mitchell for his development as a young player learning the ropes in the NBA. Doc Rivers helped hi, Paul Pierce, adn Ray Allen form a great Boston Celtics that was able to win the 2008 NBA Title and almost win a second one in 2010.
Doc Rivers was beat up in Boston a little bit when he was first there. Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen came in with Paul Pierce and helped turn it around in Boston.
Doc Rivers has watched his former oranization trade all the remaining players from Boston’s Big Three Era and begun with younger players, players with expiring contracts, and jouneyment. He just traded for his son Austin Rivers from the Boston Celtics for a second round pick. Boston has the most assets that is for sure, but now the hardest step is turning those assets into actual player.
Doc Rivers has admitted that he was afraid of rebuilding again….. It’s hard work and he had a lack of desire to do it. It’s very hard emotionally to convince yourself that you are going to win and then you don’t. Then you have to get yourself up for the next game.
I think that this Doc Rivers Stagger play is a great way to get your guard a shot. Check it out!!!
