Doc Rivers got fined for criticizing the officials after the Clippers’ Game 5 loss to the Spurs.
What is the statute of limitations on penalties from that game?
Asking for Blake Griffin.
Bill Simmons Grantland:
I guess you can say “Champion teams don’t do this.” But I don’t think lottery teams do, either.
Seriously, what team does this?
And how did Griffin get away with it?
Clippers fans can (rightly) complain about Chris Paul getting a cheap technical late in the game, but if Simmons description is accurate, the Clippers came out ahead. Griffin definitely deserved a tech for what Simmons described.
At least Ekpe Udoh didn’t have to clean it up this time (as he did for Matt Barnes earlier in the series):
That poor ball boy this time, though.
Not being so gross in Game 6 would be a nice step for the Clippers. More importantly, they need to regroup if they’re going to steal another win in San Antonio.
