Clippers coach Doc Rivers compares Warriors losing Curry to Celtics missing Kendrick Perkins in 2010 finals

Losing Steph Curry for at least two weeks could be a body blow to the Warriors and their chances at winning a second straight NBA title.

Doc Rivers, coach of the Los Angeles Clippers and possibly the Warriors' opponent in Round 2 of the playoffs, can relate.After all, Rivers had something similar happen as coach of the Boston Celtics against the Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA Finals.``It happened to us,'' Rivers told reporters Monday, according to USA Today. ``In 2010, Kendrick Perkins was hurt for Game 7.''That's right. Kendrick Perkins. A 6-foot-10 center known primarily for his defense who has taken and missed 14 three-point attempts in a 15-year career which began in 2003.
