Austin Rivers is an easy target for the scorn of the basketblog community. And for good reason.
Rivers has often been horrible during his first three seasons in the league. He got a chance on a good Clippers team this year for no reason other than his dad is the coach and (bad) general manager. And for the most part, he hasn’t been very good in Los Angeles.
But Rivers had the best game of his career today, and it came in a huge spot, as he helped the Clippers earn a 114-105 win over the Spurs, tying the series at two games apiece. Rivers scored 16 points in 17 minutes, keeping the team afloat as Chris Paul battled with foul trouble.
The Rivers scoring outburst buoyed the Clippers’s typically anemic bench. Paul, of course, was great. He still played 38 minutes and scored 34 points with seven assists. Paul’s counterpart, Tony Parker, scored 18 points of his own.
Outside of the two stars however, Rivers was the best guard on the court.
I saw that game today. AR had one of those games that people on here might have said, "I can't believe we let that guy go!" Such is life. Good for him showing up like he did for those guys. I am still pulling for SA, and I was impressed with Leaonard's scoring. Crazy to think that Jimmer and BYU took it to these guys back in the day.
You watching Mavs vs Rockets right now?
No, any good (watching Mad Men)?
Mavs lead 65-55 . Game has been physical
Rivers going to have his good games and his bad games.
how are our castoffs helping other teams actually get playoff wins? fricking Rivers & Aminu going off today
Anyone catch this today?

Officials elected not to eject Kendrick Perkins after throwing the Celtics’ Jae Crowder to the floor by his neck while setting a heavy screen in the second quarter of today’s fourth game of the Cleveland-Boston series.
Austin Rivers & Al-Farouq Aminu have combined for 27 points on 14 shots a day after the #Pelicans were eliminated from the playoffs. YUP.

Eh neither Rivers or Aminu are better then what we have gotten out of Cunningham and Cole. Rivers has a good game like this every 10 games or so. Main has been solid and found a good fit as a role player in Dallas.
The leadership and intangibles that Cunningham and Cole bring over Rivers and Aminu also need to be accounted for.
Aminu can be a god and I'd still be happy he's gone. I remember what he was like playing for us
Glad they did well today. Still wouldn't want them.
Aminu just had a crazy slam
JR smith is a straight idiot. I hope he is banned for life. Seriously I do. He's worthless.
yeah that boston cleveland game, intense! JR and Perk christ.
Remember that time we traded Tyson Chandler and broke up the best big 3 this franchise had ever seen, all on account of him having a bad knee or something. Boy, am I glad we got rid of that walking injury.
Kelly O'I'madick
J.R. Smith got a 2 game suspension
Really like Corey Brewer's game. Always been an active defender and excellent in transition. We could really use a guy like that, one who has the ability to get easy points whenever it's possible
Spurs/Clippers turning out to be a good game and series.
Jordan has a nice stroke and is hitting 50% of his FT's tonight... looks like it will improve. Plus he's giving CP3 and Griffin and Redick tons of rest with this hack a Jordan strategy. I don't see why Doc would sit CP3 or Griffin the rest of the game, helping the Clippers out.
Plus now the Clippers are obviously in the bonus and the Spurs are going to have 1 or 2 contributors in foul trouble by the 2nd half of the 4th.
I still love CP3 so I'm obviously rooting for the Clippers, but this BS really has me rooting for them even more.
I'm mad that Rivers pulled Jordan right when it was about to get to a net loss for the Spurs given the foul trouble. Clippers fans suck IMO they should be raising the roof instead of fouling. There is no energy in the arena when it should be on fire.
So this game should be over sometime tomorrow morning.
Austin Rivers going off again?
Looks like Memphis may get Golden State next!
Wow I spoke to soon.
I don't see Memphis slowing Golden State down either.
Anderson for Green and a 2nd for sure. Could have been done.
I don't see that happening unless Mike Conley's face and eye heals quick.

Terry Stotts. He has a job. Why?
I enjoy Memphis. Probably my favorite team (to watch) left in the playoffs, but they have a funky ability to fall a cliff offensively for multiple possessions at time, per game. You can't do that against GS guards that have range from the parking lot. I don't trust Jeff Green and I don't trust Memphis' perimeter players to generate enough offense to win, but Grit & Grind will push GS. Don't know if they can pin them though.
Damn our Byron Scott 57 pt loss record was almost broken tonight.
Dam I hope the Spurs beat the Clips on their court for game 7.
Watching the Bulls game and seeing Noah pass out after offensive boards and I found myself asking, why don't we ask Asik to do the same?
I feel like it is such an obvious thing to get him to work on yet all season we pretty much never saw it. It was always his poor attempt at put backs that led to a lot of his blocked shots or turnovers that then led to fast break points the other way.
