里弗斯医生在与洛杉矶快船分道扬镳后发表了一份声明。

里弗斯自从2013年加盟快船后就一直在快船队工作，这是一笔罕见的交易，涉及到一名教练。这位芝加哥本地人在常规赛中以356比208领先。
里弗斯在球队历史上赢得了最多的胜利，但是他在季后赛的失败导致了他的失败。他从来没能带领快船队进入西部决赛。总的来说，洛杉矶在季后赛以27-32领先，在里弗斯的带领下以3-1领先两次。
丹佛掘金队在2020年季后赛的崩溃是极其糟糕的，考虑到快船队有卡希·伦纳德和保罗·乔治领跑。他们还拥有一支庞大的阵容，其中包括两位第六届年度最佳男选手，分别是卢·威廉姆斯和蒙特雷兹·哈雷尔。
向前看，看快船队面试谁，最终聘请谁为球队新主教练，这将是一件令人着迷的事。前克利夫兰骑士队的战术大师蒂罗恩·吕很有可能得到一个公平的机会，因为他已经是一名助理，并在2016年与骑士队一起赢得了金州勇士队的冠军。
快船队是NBA为数不多的没有冠军头衔的球队之一。该队甚至从未进入过决赛。莱昂纳德和乔治还有一年的合同（这两位球星都可以在2021年的休赛期成为自由球员），因此拉丁美洲和加勒比海必须聘请一位卡希和PG都尊敬的教练。

Doc Rivers’ 128-word statement after Clippers exit

Doc Rivers has released a statement after parting ways with the Los Angeles Clippers.

Rivers had been with the Clippers since 2013 after the franchise acquired him from the Boston Celtics in a rare trade that involved a coach. The Chicago native went 356-208 in the regular season.
Rivers has the most wins in franchise history, but his lack of playoff success led to his downfall. He was never able to lead the Clippers to the conference finals in the West. Overall, Los Angeles went 27-32 in the postseason and blew two 3-1 series leads under Doc Rivers.
The collapse to the Denver Nuggets in the 2020 playoffs was extremely bad, considering the Clippers had Kawhi Leonard and Paul George leading the way. They also boasted a deep roster with two Sixth Man of the Year winners in Lou Williams and Montrezl Harrell.
Moving forward, it’s going to be fascinating to see who the Clippers interview and ultimately hire as the team’s new head coach. Odds are former Cleveland Cavaliers tactician Tyronn Lue will get a fair shot since he’s already on the staff as an assistant and won the 2016 title over the Golden State Warriors with the Cavs.
The Clippers are one of the few franchises in the NBA without a title. The team has never even been to the Finals either. With Leonard and George under contract for one more year (both stars can become unrestricted free agents in the offseason of 2021), LAC pretty much has to hire a coach that Kawhi and PG respect.
