Austin is not better than Dekker, Herrell, Thronwell, Evans, CJ, Wilson etc...

He absolutely is better than all those players, at the moment. We're not talking about where they could be in two years playing for their dads and getting plenty of minutes, we're talking about right now.

absolutely not with the way he is playing defense... he played most minutes last game, had a big -32 for a reason... just check the Spurs' highlights yourself and see how Austin **** on defense... then tell me he should play most minutes in a straight face... it was beyond bad...

Austin went 4-15. Last night, Paul George went 3-13 against the Nuggets and Klay Thompson went 6-24 [!] against the Lakers. It happens.

You do realize how crazy it is to compare Austin to Paul George and Klay Thompson, right?

You can live with a bad shooting night from a player when they're putting up a 61% TS like Klay is. Austin's putting up a 50% TS. That is awful. Terrible shooting nights are the norm for him; they're the exception for PG and Klay.

starting alongside G-leaguers can do that to a fella
he's become a credible role-player but with our injuries, there is no role
fuster, meet cluck

geez the scapegoating is really getting ridiculous
put him on the floor between Curry and Durant and watch his numbers smile
