Doc Rivers’ son calls Marreese Speights a punk on Twitter
If you needed anymore proof that the reported Clippers-Warriors post-game incident is true, Doc Rivers’ son Jeremiah Rivers provides all the proof you need on the matter.
First reported by Sam Amick of USA TODAY Sports, several Clippers and Warriors were involved into a brief altercation following the Clippers defeat over the Warriors in Game 7 of their first round series. Amick noted that the incident included Chris Paul, Marreese Speights, Jermaine O’Neal, Blake Griffin, and others, making sure to note that Speights was the instigator of it all.
Based on Jeremiah’s tweet, it’s safe to assume that he was in the locker room when Speights reportedly walked in which created the shouting match.
Here are a few more tweets from reporters that were informed on the subject:
Clippers forward Glen Davis and Warriors center Mo Speights yelled at each other with the latter having to be held back, a source said.

As one source put it, "We don't like each other, that's obvious." But it stopped at yelling before it got physical

Version I've heard is several players -- among them Speights, Steph, Glen Davis and SBlake involved -- in the "ruckus" after the game.

Rivers has since deleted the tweet from his Twitter feed.
