Is Doc really going full retard?


Maybe if Doc had taken the time to fix his son's shot he wouldn't be in this mess. Guilt is a powerful motivator. Steph Curry is what Rivers should be with the resources he had access to.

Oddly enough, the parallels between the Warriors and the Clippers agree with this statement as well.

Also, this...HOLY CRAP

quote:

But in a year-and-a-half Rivers has now given up Bledsoe, Butler, Dudley, Farmar, Bullock, Douglas-Roberts, a first round pick, and a second round pick, and all he has to show for it is J.J. Redick and now Austin Rivers.

Yeah, it's kind of inexcusable on both of their parts that his form is that bad. He'll never be a consistent shooter with that form.

Did Doc really not really make himself available to Austin or did Austin ignore his father? I could see it going either way.

That's a little unfair. Rivers wasn't even that good at Duke. He was always more name than player and was a controversial pick. Everything we saw was a guy who busted his arse, but just didn't have the ability to be a rotation player.

Curry has been a legit top 10 player in the league for a couple years and is an MVP frontrunner this season. Arguably the best pg and the most destructive offensive weapon in the entire league.

That didn't happen because Dell paid more attention to him or something. Rivers could have had John Wooden as his personal coach and he isn't reaching Curry levels.
