Doc Rivers spent seven seasons in Los Angeles as the coach of the Clippers, presiding over one of the most exciting teams in the league during his run.
The Clippers were consistently one of the top three teams in the Western Conference, dubbed with the nickname “Lob City” thanks in large part to the alley oops thrown to Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan in the team’s wide open fast break offense.
Led by one of the top point guards in the history of the game in Chris Paul and armed by a number of sharpshooting role players, the expectation was always that the Clippers would compete for championships. The problem is that the team’s postseason success never matched the regular season proficiency, as the Clippers never made a conference finals appearance in the seven seasons that Rivers was in L.A.
