Matt Barnes on what held Chris Paul, Blake Griffin Clippers back: ‘Egos’

There was a stretch of time, from 2012 through 2016 (maybe 2017) when the Los Angeles Clippers looked like contenders. In Doc Rivers first four seasons coaching Chris Paul, Blake Griffin, DeAndre Jordan, plus J.J. Redick and the rest of a solid core, they had a top-four point differential in the league three times (and were sixth the other year). Matt Barnes was on some of those Clippers teams, then later went on to the Warriors where he won a ring.
