Clippers coach Doc Rivers fires back at Bill Simmons

The reverberations of Doc Rivers’ move to the Clippers from Boston, plus the Celtics’ blockbuster deal sending Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce to the Brooklyn Nets, clearly reached the West Coast — particularly with commentator Bill Simmons saying Rivers “quit” on the Celtics.
“I would like to call him an idiot, but I’m too classy for that,” Rivers said in a television interview. “I mean, that’s just his opinion. That didn’t happen. He really needs to know the whole truth, which he doesn’t.”
