Doc Rivers and the Clippers may be out of the playoffs thanks to a giant collapse in the Western Conference semifinals. But we’re still hearing from the former Celtics coach — or at least someone who sounds just like him.

Actor Jamie Foxx appeared on The Tonight Show Tuesday night, and after a hearty round of musical impressions with host Jimmy Fallon, he got a little bit hoarse. Rather than slow him down, those worn down vocal cords opened a door for him to bust out a spot-on impression of Doc, a routine sideline screamer who sounds like it every time he speaks during in-game interviews or postgame press conferences.
