PLAYA VISTA, Calif. -- Los Angeles Clippers?coach Doc Rivers is well-versed in the ways of NBA superteams. He led one to an NBA championship back in 2008 with the Boston Celtics.Accordingly, this years iteration of a superteam, the 73-win Golden State Warriors team from a year ago that added Kevin Durant as a free agent and just so happens to be the Clippers?main rival in the Western Conference, doesnt scare?him.I think we can play with anybody, and we dont feel like theres a gap, Rivers said of the prospect of challenging the Warriors this season. Thats all we have to prove, and I think everyone has to prove that.I know history very well in this league, and theres been a lot of superteams put together, quote-unquote, superteams, and I know the history. I feel comfortable where were at.Rivers didnt expound on the thought -- or what that history means for the Warriors chances.A quick check of recent history reveals a decidedly mixed bag. Rivers Celtics won in 2008, but plenty of other superteams have failed (See: the 2003-04 Los Angeles Lakers, 2010-11 Miami Heat and 2012-13 Lakers).Rivers repeatedly stressed the importance of keeping his teams focus on itself, without casting an eye toward their Northern California rivals.I mean, really, we like our team, Rivers said of the Clippers, who lost in the first round of last years playoffs following season-ending injuries to Blake Griffin and Chris Paul. I cant go into their team, Oklahomas team. Thats not for me. I like our team.Veteran Paul Pierce, who played for Rivers in Boston, called the Clippers a superteam in their own right.I think we have a superteam here, said Pierce, who announced 2016-17 would be his final season earlier on Monday. I mean, you look at Chris Paul, whos been a first-team All-NBA, Blake Griffin, first-team, DeAndre Jordan, currently First-Team All-NBA. How many teams can currently say that? Youve got the best 3-point shooter in the NBA [JJ Redick]. Youve got the Sixth Man of the Year [Jamal Crawford]. Why this is not a superteam? What defines superteam?When you look at those stats, when you hear what Im saying, this could very well easily be whats considered a superteam. Theres a number of superteams out there, and I guess thats the way the league is going. But I like our chances versus anybody, being that were a superteam. I guess Golden State is a superteam, and as?Derrick Rose?said, the New York Knicks are a superteam.I dont know how many superteams are out there, but theres definitely three, so now I get the opportunity to play on another one, the Los Angeles Clippers. Weve just got to go out there and win it now so we can be kind of inked into the history books as one of the great superteams.
