Doc Rivers is defying conventional NBA wisdom, and the Clippers like it

“The rule was once you get two, you gotta sit,” forward Tobias Harris said. “Usually a lot of other coaches, if you’ve got two fouls in the first half, especially the first quarter or early second quarter, they’re not going to put you back in until the third quarter. [Rivers] lets you play through the fouls. It’s a good thing because fouls can disrupt the rhythm a lot of time of a player, and Doc probably felt that way when he played, too.”
