Get ready for fictionalized versions of Doc Rivers, V. Stiviano, Blake Griffin, Chris Paul and more in the six-part limited series.
Equal time rules do not, in fact, apply to slightly fictionalized treatments of the real-life trials and tribulations of professional basketball teams, but for at least an hour it’s hard to shake the feeling thata bit short. I watched the pilot twice, separated by several months. The first time, I thought it was a mess, more cartoonish and broad than it had any reason to be.
The scandal involving Stiviano’s recordings is juicy, but Welch is much more curious about the aftermath, for the players and for complacent longtime Clippers’ employees — like PR maven Seth and wholly unqualified team president Andy . Everybody in the series has taken Sterling’s money with some awareness of his fatal flaws, and when the situation becomes untenable, nobody can find any high ground.
It’s a series that, by design, wants to be very frivolous and very serious at once, which I can see working more consistently on the pages of a script than as executed by the directors here, led by Kevin Bray. The first episode tends toward the comic, with the players as bickering eccentrics — DeAndre Jordan loves lizards! Chris Paul meets with Doc on the set of a State Farm ad in-character with a mustache! — and Donald Sterling as a borderline senile buffoon.
