Rivers leaves the Clippers on the edge of a championship, but was unable to bring it home. The team collapsing in the Western Conference semifinals was clearly the last straw.
Rivers made some curious decisions during the playoffs that reportedly left his players confused. Perhaps that played a role in his departure. Someone had to take the fall for what happened to the team in the playoffs, and Rivers was the simplest and most logical target.
