    I'm surprised the new owner is okay with the nepotism.

    I mean, he got hired to the job that made him billions by his college buddy Bill Gates. He wouldn't be the Clippers' owner if not for nepotism.

    5 more years of flagrant 2 and game suspensions to any player gives Austin Rivers a good hard foul.

    Last year, he was very good off the bench. What happened with Clippers and cut him ?

    good, maybe Clippers will implode and drop out of running.

    Chris Paul will lead the revolt against his coach.

    It is amazing how they were winning at the end til he came in the game, and Kyrie ate his lunch, and the Clippers lost like the last 3 minutes.

    Pathetic.

    That debut was awful and will feed the frenzy.

    Austin Rivers is a smallish SG who can't play the point, can't defend and can't shoot worth a lick. He doesn't do anything above-average. He's never played minutes that mattered at the NBA level and is suddenly thrust into the pressure cooker of a much-scrutinized team with high expectations.

    Releasing Farmar is no biggie, but everyone knows the only reason they made the deal was because Austin is Doc's son.

    This experiment seems doomed to failure. I'm curious who gets the extra 15-20 minutes when Austin is pulled out of the rotation.

    Doc making a case for worst GM in the league. David Khan-esque so far.
