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.Vapormax Plus Clearance .

NBA officials ruled the court unplayable in the Bucks final exhibition game on Oct. 25 because players were slipping, and the game was cancelled midway through the first period.Eoin Morgan believes strength of character is carrying England through a dramatic World Twenty20 after his side held their nerve against Sri Lanka to claim a semi-final spot.England are likely to face New Zealand in the last four after their third win in a row but, like their victories over South Africa and Afghanistan, this one could easily have gone the other way.Having posted a target of 172 thanks to Jos Buttler (66no) and Jason Roy (42), England reduced their opponents to 15 for four only for Sri Lanka captain Angelo Mathews to hit a classy half-century that got his side to within a couple of strikes of a shock reversal. Athers: Buttler unstoppable Michael Atherton says Jos Buttler is one of the most destructive players in the game Yet when the game reached its closing moments in Delhi, it was England who showed their steel.Chris Jordan turned in two brilliant overs at the death, taking three wickets for just 13 runs - with Joe Root taking a stunning catch off Dasun Shanaka that may have been the pivotal contribution. Stokes says the England players hard work has paid off after they booked their place in the semi-finals of the World T20 Sri Lanka still needed 15 off the last over and Ben Stokes was magnificent in the heat of the moment, giving up just four to rubber stamp a 10-run run.This gives us a great deal of confidence. I think in three of our wins weve had to show an immense amount of character, he said.This was completely different in the way we were way ahead of the game, had them four down quite early and then Angelo got them back into the game.It asked a completely different question of us. But we showed quite a lot, both with the bat and the ball. We showed we are capable of playing both smart cricket and aggressive cricket. Nasser Hussain reviews Englands 10-run win over Sri Lanka, helping them to reach the semi-finals of the ICC World T20 I think weve struggled to do that in the last six to eight months or so and its an area we are constantly trying to improve, but today went a long way to doing that.ddddddddddddMorgan had no shortage of key moments to reflect on and was keen to spread the praise among all of those who stood tall at vital times.They were in the game right until the end so Stokes last over was as crucial as it gets, he said. The Verdict panel discuss bowling at the death after England advanced into semi-finals Rootys catch gave us a huge lift. Wickets are priceless at that stage of the game and given that it didnt allow the batsmen to cross was an even bigger benefit really.As well as Jos innings I thought Jason was outstanding as well. He showed great composure and when he wanted to take someone down he showed complete commitment.Well take a lot of confidence from the overall performance. We can give it a couple of days to let the dust settle, reflect on what happened and take the absolute beauties into the semi-final.
