LOS ANGELES — Doc Rivers still has a special feeling about returning to Crypto.com Arena for a game.One could assume Rivers would downplay the game based on his success in leading the 76ers.“Listen, I was with this organization for [seven] years,” Rivers said on Wednesday. “But a lot happened in that [seven] years. I left [the organization] a place of destination.”“We were the laughingstock,” he said."‘No one wanted to play for the Clippers. We heard all of that.
The thing is, Rivers was fired on Sept. 28, 2020 after failing to live up to the lofty expectations he created.
