Clippers coach Doc Rivers vs. ESPN’s Bill Simmons
Jun 28, 2013, 4:08 AM | Updated: 6:14 pm
ESPN’s Bill Simmons is a Boston Celtics fan.
A BIG fan.
So, watching head coach Doc Rivers leave to run the Los Angeles Clippers had to have been a bit of a bitter pill to swallow. But how bitter?
Well, let’s just say the two aren’t likely to be exchanging Christmas cards this year.
And to top it off, Rivers’ son Jeremiah got into the act of defending his father.
@BillSimmons @espn My father has never quit anything in his life. He now has an NBA Championship, and helped in rejuvenating the Celtics.

@BillSimmons @espn That’s why he is 3rd winningest coach in Celtics history. Those are just credentials, but you already know this.

@BillSimmons @espn Your the same guy who was trying to run my dad out of town when it seemed like the Celtics were down and out.

@BillSimmons @espn Then you praised him like GOD himself when he helped turn things around. Where is your loyalty.

@BillSimmons @espn You know nothing about winning, about sacrifice, and being a champion. You sit behind a desk and pick on people.

@BillSimmons @espn .You are a Internet bully. There is a reason nobody will side with you. They like my dad better than you.

@BillSimmons @espn Magic, Wilbon, Shaq, Ernie, etc… They know my father and they know about being a professional at the highest LEVEL.

@BillSimmons @espn If you don’t have all the facts, which you clearly DON’T, I suggest you sit down and shut up. Good day sir.
