Doc Rivers Postgame Press Conference | 3.10.24

Doc Rivers Postgame Press Conference | 3.10.24

Once la goes on that 133 run takes that lead early fourth M jannis stame score 20 of 23 obviously the their pick and roll ends up with the brook 32 what did you see from those two you know again it’s getting better and better uh they’re trusting it uh different options

Out of it same action two- Man game work it um you put two great players together it’s going to take a third player on the other team at some point to help we kept Brook lifted we kept saying at some point we kept saying at some point

Someone’s going to leave Brooke and they finally didn’t Brook made the shot uh Malik made a Shot Pat so it was really nice uh coach over here um obviously Giannis and Dame are you know great all-time scorers but what is it like when you’re able to get double digit

Assist from both of them in a one night yeah back toback games like they’re they they are very unselfish um they know that they’re in the action but they know it’s a team action you know so um they’re just making the simple pass to the open guy

Uh doc just the three that Dame hits when he comes and runs back just what do you think of the patience from both guys that in that Twan game to get to that that last one was great because they went one two almost swung it and you can

See it coming um you know of course there’s very few people that can make the shot and and Dame can can you just speak on the energy that Pat B brought tonight and what has you been bringing to this team since he first got there as

Well what you just said you know great energy um instigator today committed a lot of fouls too you know which is fine like we want him to be physical we want him to uh I thought the pressure he put on James tonight was was phenomenal for

Our team and it helped us get back in it so it’s good for us I seen the first game that he was you know basically just like I said trying to coach and things and they helping guys out how has guys accepted that he’s been great you know

Like everybody does it you know I think Yannis grabbed the board today like we won guys uh they see they’re on the floor I always tell our guys you’re on the floor if you see see something show me let me see it and a lot of our guys

Do it they’re starting to do it uh they’ve been scared to grab the board so now they’re not yeah uh just defensively that Twan game that they had going with Harden and zubach a bit of a problem for you what’ you see to get it under control well we switched we put Giannis

On them on whoever went up and then he switched and became a you know ISO game for them once that happened that’s what we wanted this is the best group but uh you ruined it ruined it go ahead can you talk about bees’ impact on defense tonight yeah he’s great you

Know he’s been good um you know much better this time then in Milwaukee um I he didn’t understand what we were trying to get him to do in Milwaukee tonight he did um denied a lot you know we tried to deny James the ball make someone else

Bring it up I thought bees did that for the entire game and then just how crucial was Dame taking over in the fourth quarter 16 points total for him yeah I think Dame ananis I just think the combination you know I don’t even look at them as one you know I think the

Combination of them is what creates all the action coach what do you think about as far as you being appointed how are you doing by the way by the thank you for phenomenal seeing you it’s great to be here to see you congratulations section here uh what what do you think

As far as being appointed in this position as the head coach of Milwaukee what is your philosophy and the thrust going forward well the philosophy is win I mean that’s why you you jump into something like this uh but it was with the right group of guys honestly um

Again I keep using the words adults uh very mature and and at a place where they all want to win um it’s if we can get it right which I think we will I believe that then we’re going to be very tough to beat what was your most memorable

Moment being in here since you were here coach many years what was your most memorable moment that’s a good question I got to think about that one um probably game seven Golden State game seven San Antonio we won both of those but Golden State because if you didn’t

Know there was a lot of stuff going on in that series um I don’t need to bring it back but you understand what I’m saying and uh for us to kind of keep our focus with all the stuff off off the court going on I thought was the start

Of the change of our franchise when I was here um it it really and from that moment um the Clipper franchise has been it changed now it’s one of the better franchises in the league so I would say uh that’s it this franchise was not winning routinely kind of started that the last

About a decade now since Steve kind of uh the team what have you seen this decade now just growth I mean listen I took the job and my number one goal was to make the Clippers a destination that was what we said make it make this

Place um you know you I story I wanted to cover up the Laker banners not because it was the Lakers I just thought it was a Clipper game and and let’s let’s be the Clippers you know and then I wanted to retire a jersey there was no Jersey to retire and

So I looked at our guys and said so we have to build a tradition here so there will be I think there will be jerseys coming forward I think um Blake I think DJ 100% should be uh and I think Chris Paul so now they’re starting to create a

History and uh that’s important for franchises and that’s that was what we wanted to do I think this will be their 13th winning season yeah consecutive when they get the next win yeah just again a team that so little wins so few wins yeah what do you think that means

It means a lot you know they move in a new Arena like this is a franchise now you know it is like and I it is a franchise that every year people expect now to be good that’s a good thing are you looking forward to the series where Lawrence fish will be

Playing you yeah I am I am um he told me he can’t do the voice but he can do the walk so I’m looking forward to it
