Clippers boss Doc Rivers is tired of hearing how it’s Chris Paul’s job to finally take his team deep into the playoffs. The burden should be on the entire team, Rivers told Bill Oram of the Orange County Register:
Paul, in ways it doesn’t for the team’s other stars, is dogged by the stigma of never having reached the Western Conference finals.
“I don’t think it should be Chris’ job to get us (past) the second round,” said Doc Rivers, who was named Western Conference Coach of the Month for April, as well. “It should be Blake (Griffin’s) job, and Doc’s job and J.J. (Redick’s) job. If one guy thinks that they’re going to do it, it’s not going to happen. This is not boxing.”
The Clippers do, however, keep getting knocked out.
