It is a franchise coach who has to instill a different psychological hold on his players. He s instilling a whole new way of thinking into them.
If it happens to make the news and make it look like they are disrespecting the other guy in the process, I am sure they are cool in doing so.
The Clippers have had the talent to be the so called better team for 2 years and now going on the third and have not had great results. They did the next step. Getting a coach who is supposed to get you there. The problem is that Thibs ran his defense that won that championship and I have to wait and see if who is running the clips D can get that area done for them. I have not seen the Clips run great D. They have been about outscoring and highlight reels.
If anyone can get them on that right mentality Rivers can, but making them play high level of D will be interesting.
While us Lakers are in rebuld ( Just TANK BABY!! ) mode the clips are in we better win now as they are on the clock. t's supposed to be their time to shine and step up.
In any case they are fun as hell to watch. Especially when them and the Warriors go at it.
