The Austin Rivers game..

[Malik Hairston]

Literally one of the worst players in the history of the NBA, tbh:lmao..

I can't think of anybody off the top of my head, but has a worse player ever torched the Spurs this badly in a playoff game in the Duncan era? What about in the Admiral era?

[TheGreatYacht]

Spurs should package Joseph and Becky for him and his dad

[Malik Hairston]

Anybody?

[timtonymanu]

Can't believe the Spurs actually let this scrub beat them in the playoffs.

Absolutely embarrassing and the Spurs deserve all the ridicule for the performance they had today.

[ElNono]

Maybe Dragic when he was still somewhat unknown?

99 percent of those points were on mills

[ducks]

Anybody?

Blair last year

[hitmanyr2k]

The Spurs defense was atrocious and Popovich never adjusted. Doc Rivers gave the Spurs a taste of their own medicine and screen and rolled them to death. Clippers guards had good looks all night.

[Texas_Ranger]

Mills got raped by this guy. If only we could have hockey type subs, cause it's not just Rivers, Mills can't guard no one.

[Johnny RIngo]

99 percent of those points were on mills

He's been scoring on Parker too.

Mario Chalmers owning parker in Game 7 of the 13 finals

[crc21209]

This is where Pop's attention to detail comment comes into play. Yeah Rivers is a scrub but you still have to respect him and D his ass up...

[TDfan2007]

Maybe Dragic when he was still somewhat unknown?

Yup...that game 3 was the nail in the coffin for us in 2010.

[Malik Hairston]

It's not really just on Mills, although obviously his D wasn't good..the bigs were all horrendous on defense tonight..

[8FOR!3]

I don't think he plays another game like this.

[Malik Hairston]

I don't think he plays another game like this.

Well, no, he shouldn't..I'm not using hyperbole, this nigga is literally one of the worst players in league history:lol..

The fact that he even had 1 game of this caliber in the playoffs is embarrassing..

[Chomag]

Embarrassing is an understatement... Spurs should have never let a scrub of scrubs go off on them especially in the playoffs. Just a sad effort...

Been saying this all season that this Spurs team can be so lazy sometimes.

[ViceCity86]

I don't think he's as bad as everyone makes him out to be.
Solid player imo

[Arcadian]

This sometimes happens to the Spurs. It's happened many times before. A scrub player on the opposing team inexplicably goes off against us, leading to a playoff loss. It's been a trend.

What does the trend say about the longitudinal effects of the scrub player, though? Does it remain a problem throughout the series, or do they usually quell the problem after the first occurrence?

[Mugen]

:lol If Pop makes any "adjustments" to Austin Rivers, I hope he retires this summer tbh.

[Mugen]

I don't think he's as bad as everyone makes him out to be.

One of the worst players in the league. I don't even think that's hyperbole tbh. This is the equivalent of Jeff Errors going HAM on LA during a playoff game....

[Chomag]

lol @ppl downplaying how bad of a player Austrin Rivers is just so they don't feel so bad that he torched us.

[SpurPadre]

If he can score 16 points on the road against the defending champs, why wouldn't he do it against us playing at home?

[Malik Hairston]

:lol it is the equivalent of backcourt Ayres, as Mugen said..can you imagine Ayres dunking all over the Spurs in a playoff game?

[spurraider21]

rivers is terrible and had a fluke performance. you dont change any part of your gameplan to accomadate for rivers :lol

[FkLA]

One of the most disgusting things I have ever had to endure watching as a Spurs fan tbh.

This. That wannabe kobe, nepotistic bitch deserves to get his shit pushed in.

Nah bro, shit players always have their best games against the Spurs. Hell they made Asik look like Hakeem. Bynum had 30 rebounds against them when Tim had 2. Bonzi Wells lit them up for 40 or so a night. It's common shit that someone goes off on them, Reggie Jackson anyone?

[hitmanyr2k]

:lol If Pop makes any "adjustments" to Austin Rivers, I hope he retires this summer tbh.

Well he better adjust because when they put Duncan in the screen and roll and Parker or Mills gets screened off that's leaving Duncan on an island with guards that can either blow by him or get a wide open jumper. Blame Mills all you want but this is basically the "Ginobili" play that the Spurs used to kill teams with. Geriatric Duncan can't keep up with these guys. And every time Duncan switched on Chris Paul today he got burnt to a crisp. Popovich never adjusted his defense.

Rivers went off on Mills in 2nd quarter and yelled out "that small guy
(Mills) can't guard me". Ever since that sequence he gained confidence that showed the whole game.

[cd98]

He scored on Patty, not Parker. Hence its stupid to think Patty should be playing 30 minutes a game on this team.

[daslicer]

Luke Ridnour he had a few good games against the spurs in the '05 playoffs.

:lol By all means, Austin....try to exploit that defense.

[DMC]

Neither PG should be playing big minutes. They have 3, they should play 3. The Spurs need a point forward type player who can defend and distribute. They currently have Manu but he's either a masterpiece or just a piece.

[Malik Hairston]

He was 2-2 vs. Parker in the 4th quarter, but ya, not defending Patty..the bigs were just as bad defensively as Patty and Parker..

[RD2191]

He also scored on parker. Watch the game. And Parker got torched by CP3.

[baseline bum]

One of the worst players in the league. I don't even think that's hyperbole tbh. This is the equivalent of Jeff Errors going HAM on LA during a playoff game....

I think fans don't appreciate how shitty Rivers is. Yeah, this is like Ayres going and getting the Spurs a must win playoff game on the road against a top team in the league. Rivers is worse than Playoff Jefferson. The last guard that bad I can remember on a Spurs roster was Lloyd Daniels.

No Rob...not today...Rivers was on the court with Mills, and he was scoring against Mills. Now Paul was a big factor tonight. But Paul is not a scrub pg. I know that one of your mantra's is Parker getting torched by scrub pg's - but that ain't what happened today.

You're right. Parker was dominated by a starting PG.

dude, Spurs gets torched by scrubs ALL the time...

You're trying too hard

[Malik Hairston]

You're trying too hard

He isn't? Ok, one of the worst rotation players to ever play in the playoffs..better?

[jag]

That's more reasonable.

[Malik Hairston]

That's more reasonable.

Thanks, buddy..

:lol...winner...Rivers would be above him if he earned a nice contract because of it.

[RD2191]

He should change his number to 15 so we can start calling him AR-15 tbh.

[Malik Hairston]

Fortunately this fuck-nigga reverted to his normal, shitty self tonight, outside of that lucky-ass banker buzzer-beater:lol..

[Prose]

Hate rivers. Acted so hard just Bc he scored 17 points in 1 game. GTFO yelling at mills. He is so terrible on offense. The shots he takes are inefficient his feet are never set

[Sean Cagney]

Fortunately this fuck-nigga reverted to his normal, shitty self tonight, outside of that lucky-ass banker buzzer-beater:lol..

When thay went in I said here we go with this f in bum again... Thankfully two missed FTs followed.

[FuzzyLumpkins]

Shved shat on us harder at MSG.

Interesting personality that revels in failure though.

Can you imagine the shitstorm on here if the Clippers had gotten that rebound and won the game due to the non-call on Paul?

That was a hell of a play by Green to keep the rebound away from two Clippers with one hand.

[Embedded]

Funny, I didn't hear Doc Rivers complaining about the non-call on CP3 holding Danny Green
