Austin Rivers 17 Points Full Highlights (5/4/2015)

If my dad was an NBA coach I would be super embarrassed by anything he did. That’s actually not too different from how it is now, but the problem with a dad-coach is that all the embarrassing stuff he’d do would be in front of the media. I would lock myself in an internet- and…

Austin Rivers 21 Points Full Highlights (3/25/2015)

I admit, when I first watched mixtapes of some up-and-coming young prospect named Austin Rivers, I thought about how cool it was that a white dude had such sick handles. I didn’t even know he was Doc Rivers’ son. I’m so embarrassed (and racist). Not embarrassed enough to withhold that anecdote, though. Now Austin Rivers…

Austin Rivers 22 Points Full Highlights (3/8/2015)

Those who thought that Austin Rivers had turned a corner after his 28-point explosion a few weeks ago were surely disappointed with his followup performances. A combined 9-for-36, 25 percent, over the next 6 games. Yet he still continues to earn minutes, and I don’t even think it’s nepotism in this case. The Clipper’s depth…

Austin Rivers Career High 28 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (2/21/2015)

“Daddy, what’s the D-League?” Doc Rivers looked up from his newspaper. His son had hardly touched his cereal, aimlessly stirring it around with his spoon. “The D-League?” “Yeah. Some kids on the bus yesterday were making fun of me. They were saying ‘Austin is going to be such a bust! He’s going to get way…

Austin Rivers 17 Points Full Highlights (11/14/2014)

I feel a bit bad about this video. It contains all of Austin Rivers’ 17 points, yes. This isn’t like last time. It was supposed to be a little longer, though. Austin has a block recorded in the box score. I wanted to see him stuff a dunk back in Shabazz Muhammad’s face, and all…

Austin Rivers 18 Points/8 Assists Full Highlights (4/16/2014)

On the surface these appear as normal Austin Rivers highlights. He makes some shots, he gathers some assists. But if you watch closer you may notice an underlying ulterior motive, beyond merely showing Austin Rivers doing good things on a basketball court. Have you figured it out yet? That’s correct. I made these highlights not…

Austin Rivers 18 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (4/11/2014)

This game is a representation of what optimists hoped Austin Rivers would be. A guy who can shoot from outside a little bit, but is more proficient at using crossovers to get into the paint and then either finishing or dishing. Pessimists just thought he would suck as he had sucked in college. The pessimists…

Austin Rivers 14 Points Full Highlights (4/6/2014)

Austin Rivers has shown decent improvement after his disastrous rookie campaign. This is good. It’s expected that a rookie will improve, but for someone who played as Rivers did last year it’s not a given. He’s still not very good at all, and New Orleans picking him at 10 is still a glaring mistake. His…

Austin Rivers 14 Points/9 Assists Full Highlights (3/12/2014)

You aren’t gonna win many games in the NBA when your fourth quarter offense consists entirely of Austin Rivers. All 5 shots, made or assisted by the guy who was probably the worst player in the league last year. Though to be fair, he had a really good night, with some nice finishes at the…
