Doc Rivers has been very honest with the Los Angeles Clippers during the early part of his tenure. "He pretty much told me I wasn't anything," Chris Paul said. "He told me I hadn't done anything, and he was right." "He's been straight-up, he's been very real and when he talks you can tell he has the attention of everybody," super-sub Jamal Crawford said.
