Los Angeles Clippers head coach Doc Rivers says the bad blood which existed between him, the Golden State Warriors and Draymond Green is gone.
The Clippers and Warriors face each other on Thursday at the Chase Center. Rivers, whose Clippers defeated the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday in round one of the battle of LA, says all is well between him and Green:
Doc Rivers insists no more bad blood between the Clippers and Warriors. How about Doc and Draymond Green, though? Doc: "Draymond’s my guy. I told him I’m working on some new Draymond stuff this year. I may unveil it tonight."

During the Chris Paul-Blake Griffin-DeAndre Jordan era, the Clippers had some fierce battles with Green and the Warriors and sometimes Rivers would take exception to the antics of Green.
That's all in the past now, though. It's a new era for Rivers and the Clippers, led by two-time Finals MVP Kawhi Leonard, who had a stellar debut on Tuesday against the Lakers. Leonard finished with 30 points in 32 minutes on just 19 shots, outplaying Lakers star LeBron James.
Thursday is the first regular season game at the Chase Center. Green and the Warriors are playing the role of underdogs this season since Kevin Durant and Andre Iguodala are no longer on the team and Klay Thompson is expected to miss a big chunk of the season recovering from his ACL tear.
Most pundits believe the Clippers are the favorite to win the Western Conference this season. They looked really good against the Lakers and have a six-time All-Star in Paul George who will enter the lineup soon once he's cleared to play.
