Q: What was the postgame locker room message?
"I didn't say much. I just let them blow smoke up each other's asses. That's all they did, in my opinion. I just think if you're going to talk, you've got to be real. I'm not a big fan of group meetings unless they're real group meetings. I think we're getting close with the talk today, but we're not there."
SHOTS. FIRED.
That's a suckerpunch. When you're questioning if your team talking to one another to try and work it out is legit, that's a bad sign. And that's also a pretty clear shot at Chris Paul, who's supposed to be the leader of this team.

"We ran away from the game." Again, shots fired. Rivers is clearly frustrated with having to be patient with the team right now. He wants to put his foot behind them and make them give the effort, but he knows that they've got to hit that point on their own.
And the Warriors probably did work out for a month just to get ready for this game. They hate the Clippers pretty badly. They ran to this game, they ran over the Clippers, and they ran off the court. The Clippers kind of wandered onto the court, got run over, and then limped away sadly. Basically doing this:
Doc Rivers livid after blowout loss to Warriors, says they're 'better than us'
