you know it's early in the season when the clippers at 10-5 are tied for the #2 seed in the west

 ;D
Doc is back as a premier coach! ;D

coach of the year frontrunner if they miraculously make the playoffs!  ;D

He loves coaching old guys, but he's actually very good at coaching young teams.

So did we decide, is this good?  Surely they can't last as a #1 or even #5 seed in the West, but with a start like this maybe they sneak in the playoffs and we get a 1st, not a future 2nd?

Of course this is good, would much rather get a late 1st than a couple of 2nds. Obviously making the playoffs in the West will be tough but 11-5 is a good start. They also have more winnable games in the coming weeks.

It most definitely is a good thing - a 1st is obviously better than a 2nd.

It would be great if they finished up around 7th or 8th in the WC, but I will take them finishing where they are now over getting the ~#40 pick next year.

He loves coaching old guys, but he's actually very good at coaching young teams.

This is a young and ferocious Clippers team though. SGA and Montrezl Harrell are keystone players (I've heard).

I wonder deep down if many of the roster decisions were influenced by Doc during his years here.

Jerry West + Doc Rivers seems like a helluva team. Doc stays off making any roster decisions, and focuses on coaching.

Everything going very nicely with the Clips pick. No incentive to tank yet, given their record - they only need to go at .500 until the trade deadline to prevent the tank, and be in the hunt for a playoff spot.

Pat Beverly was such a nice piece to get back in that CP3 trade. Watching him and Avery on the court together is something to behold. I won't be surprised if Clips even look at upgrading Gortat or Mike Scott (although they've both been playing pretty great too).

I may be incorrect but I thought Clips pick is a 1st protected pick this year OR next year before it conveys as a second if not yet conveyed.

Nope, this is it.

Lottery protected and if it doesn’t convey, it turns into a second.

So it could be anywhere from 15-44.
