Doc Rivers Put An Abrupt End To His Press Conference By Crying Prior To Game 5

I am not saying that Doc Rivers intentionally brought up the untimely death of his mother to get out of a near impossible line of questioning, but I'll be damned if it didn't do the job. What's that? You didn't think the mood surrounding the Clippers could get more somber after finding out that Chris Paul AND Blake Griffin were out for the playoffs? I probably would have agreed with you, but then again - who could have known that we would go from discussing team leaders to fallen family members in a blink of an eye? This reminded me of doing a stop-and-chat with an acquaintance from your past. You try to keep things as casual as possible, maybe throw out a "where are you living now?" or a "how are your parents?", and they respond by telling you they are homeless and haven't talked to their family in years. Well then, probably should have done a better job keeping up with that on FaceBook, huh? 

Things just went wayyyyy deeper than anticipated here. One second a reporter is simply asking who is going to motivate the team with it's stars out, and the next second he's making one of the most brash coaches in the NBA tear up. Bet he didn't see that response coming. Tired of coaches answering difficult questions with repetitive cliches? Better be careful what you wish for, because what Doc Rivers just said was the polar opposite of "coach speak" and it just rendered the room speechless. Those sheets of looseleaf that were chalked to the gills with pointed inquiries that would undoubtedly amount to an interrogation on the Clippers future? Yeaaaaah, might as well crumble those up and launch them towards the nearest trash can, because that interview just came to a screeching halt. For once the media didn't have to told that there will be no more questions.
