Hey, he knows our plays … Doc Rivers, LA Clippers coach, past and current rival coach: I guess my favorite thing that I notice about him is I always thought he was a great player, but I didn’t think he was astute defensively. And then the first (playoff) game we played when he was in Miami, every play I called he was calling out the sets. And I turned to Thibs (Tom Thibodeau) and said, “Uh-oh, LeBron’s been doing his homework.” And he’s never stopped since then. I thought those losses to Boston and him probably listening to KG (Kevin Garnett) every night, hearing him call out every set and Paul (Pierce) call out every set, you give him credit. We beat him twice and he came back and used what we were doing against us, and that became very difficult. I think that changed to the better.
