Everyone on the Clippers seems to like Chris Douglas-Roberts. From his cool hairdo do his short shorts, he’s a favorite on the team.

Coach Doc Rivers likes him, too, especially when he’s playing defense the way he did in crunch-time in Wednesday’s 108-105 victory over the Phoenix Suns at Staples Center.

“I thought CDR’s defense down the stretch was very good,” Rivers said. “That is why I left him in. Gerald Green was toasting us and I thought CDR ran him off of his shot, and that was good.”

Green scored 23 points off the bench for the Suns.

Douglas-Roberts, 27, is also known as “The Dread Pirate.”
