J. Kim Murphy SPOILER ALERT: This article discusses the third episode of “Clipped,” “Let the Games Began,” now streaming on Hulu. Laurence Fishburne had never even heard of Doc Rivers before signing on to play the perennial NBA coach in FX’s “Clipped.” “I’m not a sports fan. My manager is a Clippers season-ticket holder, one of the faithful.
I had thought that she sent this to me because it was a promotion for her team. And that turned out not to be the case,” Fishburne says, then chuckles. “At all.” Indeed, the 2014-set limited series follows the basketball organization at its all-time nadir, gripped by a scandal that’s much more demeaning and grotesque than the Clippers’ legacy of losing seasons.
This week’s episode of “Clipped” follows the team’s PR spiral after TMZ publishes an audio recording of octogenarian owner Donald Sterling (Ed O’Neill) delivering a racist tirade to his assistant-mistress V. Stiviano (Cleopatra Coleman) chastising her for publicly associating with Black people. For Doc Rivers, the viral fiasco comes with some extra embarrassment.
After being made aware that TMZ was planning to post a “tape” of Sterling and Stiviano, the Clippers head coach is shown electing against listening to it, assuming that its content would fall under a certain tabloid tradition of salaciousness. Because of his oversight, he’s failed to prepare his players for a story that now casts a shadow over their championship aspirations, and their ongoing playoff series against Steph Curry and the ascendant Golden State Warriors. Fishburne’s character owns up to his mistake at a team meeting.

Andrew Wallenstein President and Chief Media Analyst These are trying times for Los Angeles Clippers fans like myself. Instead of watching our team compete in the NBA championship that began last week, we have to settle for the alternative programming we’re getting by way of FX on Hulu with the new series “Clipped.” Perhaps it should come as some comfort to the Clipper faithful that the series chronicles what feels like a bygone era in the team’s history, even though the disgraceful end of franchise owner Donald Sterling’s reign occurred less than a decade ago.
