Austin Rivers with a best of Kobe half. Raining shots "from all angles"

In a weird way, Rivers is showing why he is best used off the bench. He is very talented but STREAKY!! When he gets hot, we ride him like the first half against Utah. However, when he gets cold, he stays on the bench.

Every team needs a microwave man- the guy who sparks a team when he comes in. But as stated above it doesnt work all the time and so he is better used in spots and stays as long as he is hot. I saw Rivers do that here in SoCal.

We all played basketball. Having one of those games comes and goes but the memory lingers on. I was always a hard worker on D and boarding but left the heavy lifting to others. But for one glorious night when I hit for 26 points and my teammates fed me the entire game. It was that one moment of glory for which I eternally thank all of my teammates.

Love Thibs but I had a serious problem with the way he handled Rivers in this game. How could you sit him till there’s four minutes left in the third when he’s as hot as he was and the team needed baskets? His desire to play first unit and second unit together all the time is a bit excessive. I would have even considered starting Rivers in the second half.

While I certainly agree in theory, I can see why Thib
