Rivers Haters Where Are You?

[Bee-Fense]

Tonight he had 27 points on 9/14 shooting from the field, 5/6 from 3, 4/4 from the line and tossed in a couple of assists.

Over his last 5 games he's averaging 14 points on 49% from the field and 51% from 3 with 2.4 assists (1.2 TO's) and 2.4 rebounds.

He's looked A LOT better and he's getting more and more comfortable. I think it's pretty safe to say he won't be a bust if you've been watching him. He won't ever be an all-star, but I think he can still end up being a 6th man scorer off the bench of a borderline starter for a good team.

No one ever hated him, they just acknowledged he was sucking for a period of time. That's not hate.

[Vindicater]

Two words.

1). Luke

2). Ridnour

[Ckay]

just one game tho

[Chocobanana]

i saw the game. he didnt look bad but ridnour/barea arent very good defenders.

[allweneedisLOVE]

shooting 32% on the year and then he has 1 good game vs people who don't play defense, lolz

[Bee-Fense]

Yeah Ridnour is a bad defender but that's why I pointed out his last 5 games. He's been playing better prior to tonight.

Also, to say Rivers didn't have any haters is absurd. The guy had people saying he was the next Adam Morrison and/or he'd be out of the league in a few years.

maybe the Rivers haters were hanging out with the "Dame" haters.

lets be honest OP, Rivers has given plenty of reason for people to question him. he's looked much better as of late. kind of a ridiculous thread to be calling out people for the most part have been right about him. a couple of games doesnt change how aweful he's been for the most part.

Austin Rivers is a rotation player at best.

[Doormatt]

he still sucks so far and has all the same problems, 1 game doesnt change anything.

[Chocobanana]

his last few games do look good, especially when compared to the rest of his year. maybe this is a breakout game for him.
