So many headaches with Austin. So many "HERE COMES AUSTIN RIVERS" jokes. So many nepotism jokes. No Blake, CP3, Austin, or (soon to be gone) DAJ. Doc will be the primary scapegoat for EVERYTHING now.
Damn they bout to doc dirty for this tank :smh:

Austin improved and had heart but there was some real shyt in that post. Real Clipper fans know
yep real,he went from this:

to this,playing with one eye:


Kid had heart and grew on me( pause).

I didn't mind Austin on the team at all. Dude showed up when the lights were bright and improved as a player. The problem was he was wasn't consistent night in and night out and was always guaranteed almost 30 minutes a game no matter how he played. Doc adjusted lineups so he could shine and he got to play through mistakes when other players got yanked with a quickness like Reggie Bullock, Lance Stevenson, and CJ Wilcox.

The biggest fear and talk on Clipper boards was that Doc was going to put Austin above the development of our first rounders Shai and Jerome Robinson who look to have way more upside than junior. This past year I thought that Sindarious Thornwell and Ty Wallace should've gotten more minutes. With Doc it just always seemed like the promotion of Austin was always the main priority instead of team goals and team development. Now with Austin gone, and I do wish him well in DC, Doc as coach is more tolerable and can finally just focus on playing the best players and concentrating on x's & o's.

Doc has a history of playing players that have less talent for reasons unknown...remember Paul pierce :francis:

It’s just fukked Up because last year he was forced to play around with lineups because of an unprecedented amount of injuries and they actually balled out....imagine if he would have done the same with all the players that came through during lob city:yeshrug:

I'll never be mad at a father putting his son in a position to succeed and get paid...black ppl need to adopt more nepotism all around we might be one of the few groups that don't regularly practice it...especially with how they give money away in the NBA...
