LOS ANGELES – Wes Johnson generally is a quiet guy. He speaks softly and evenly, and unlike some of his Clippers teammates (think DeAndre Jordan), Johnson doesn’t raise his voice, tease or joke around in the locker room before games.
So it’s difficult to tell if the five-year veteran is excited to be playing in his first postseason series.
“I don’t know if Wes has a heartbeat, anyway,” Coach Doc Rivers said of Johnson, who signed with the Clippers last summer.
“I mean he is as calm a guy I’ve ever been around. That doesn’t mean he’s not anxious – he may be – and you always watch for that early on.
