Doc Rivers is persona non grata for some Celtics faithful for how he forced his way out of Boston once it was clear the team was headed for a rebuild. Despite the fact that it worked out quite well for the Celtics, and it ultimately getting a draft pick and the job opening to lure Brad Stevens out of college, there are more than a few around town that are enjoying spoonfuls of Schadenfreude after the Clippers collapse against Houston.
Doc left town to chase success, and he found a fair amount of it in Los Angeles. He also wanted to, as Bill Parcells once said, shop for the groceries, which the Clippers allowed him to do.
