Rivers is truly atrocious. Has no niche at all in the NBA. Can't shoot well enough to be a shooting guard and can't handle well enough to be a point guard. If he didn't get traded to the Clippers, he might have a year max left in the NBA. Now, he has 2-3 years max or until Doc leaves/gets fired, unless he finds some hidden talent to make him a viable contributor.
Yeah this is a REAL PROBLEM. b****es taking jobs away from deserving men of the caliber of Bennet Salvatore, Joey Crawford, and Tony Brothers.

Why is shooting off the dribble such a under appreciated skill? Korver is excellent at coming off screens but he doesn't compare to the likes of Curry, Harden and Irving in that regard.
Thing is their defense is what leading this charge. Every game opponents have shot less than 43% on a consistent basis. Once they get Love going and Lebron gets back to his normal level (he's nowhere near that still), they're going to the Finals with ease in the East.

Of course the Blazers won and Dallas rolled, at least the Clippers lost. 1/3 ain't great, but whatever.
Yeah, but the Blazers and Mavs were supposed to win those games, so no biggie. Portland still has a tough schedule coming up. And if the Rockets wanna push them further down in the standings, then beat them on Sunday. Especially considering they'll be coming off a B2B with the Mavs the night before.
