A Short Screenplay Based on a True Story.
INT. RIVERS' HOUSEHOLD. LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA. EVENING.
DOC RIVERS is in his kitchen, his son, AUSTIN, is upset, storming out.
AUSTIN
DOC (seemingly breathing in and out simultaneously)
You stirred the pot, and we lost 3 -1! You'll never be nothing!
(beat) You shoulda stayed at Duke!
A door slams upstairs. Doc leans both his elbows over the counter. All is not well in Clipperland. A heartbreaking playoff exit, a son testing his worth in free agency, and an F-minus free agency grade are weighing heavily on the Los Angeles Clippers coach and GM, Doc Rivers.
