    That’s funny they asked Harden if Rivers reminds him of Bev because he reminds me of who Morey wish Lin was.

    Rivers has contribution, he can hit 10 points. Knight does nothing. Mcw is not our style. Rivers can hit 3 points. Knight needs to play more G league and few minutes of NBA to practice 1st

    I think knight before his injury is 10 times better that Austin but Knight might not ever be the same. 2 years away from the game is a long time.

    It takes one full year of getting in basketball shape, Brandon Knight needs a lot of time.
    Trading DeAnthony Melton was the sad part.

    I think daddy's boy Rivers have been the scrub I dislike the most in the NBA for the past couple of years. It's very sad that this team, after what they did just six months ago, really needed Austin freakin Rivers and he'll play aprox 30 mpg for the season, probably

    With all that said: loved the signing, go Rivers!!! :D

    I kinda dislike that Rivers is growing on me with more of this stuff that comes out:

    A bit gross at points, but one of the funniest movies ever. Sort of a "men's only" movie like Dumb and Dumber.

    I.D.I.O.T. this is a tremendous, hilarious story that shouldn't be buried here. Kevin Garnett had to go Super Saiyan 1 just to dispatch young Austin Rivers is a hilarious story. Tony Allen sitting there just saying "yep," cosigning everything KG is saying is equally as fumy.

    The problem with Austin, is he is still this way. He is not aware of his peers, his limitations and his surroundings. That's why nobody liked him on the clippers. Oh and that nepotism thing.

    I'd appreciate him a lot more if he could make 3s and play better defense on Trier

    Kinda think everyone outside of Harden has regressed and is just kinda expecting Harden to bail the team out.

    His career peaked in early january. Hopefully he can take care of the ball for a few spurts when paul returns. He will make an excellent cheerleader in the playoffs. Still an excellent pickup by morey.

    Rivers made all his shots in the first 10 games as a Rocket. Now he has decided to work as a bricklayer.
