"What's so nice about playing here is that guys literally just go out there and play," Austin said. "We just play hard and everything else comes. You can take a shot and you're not getting yelled at, you just play and that's the way I've always played my whole life and it's nice to finally be back into that."

I know he's no longer a Pel, but it has to do with our team and how he may/may not have been treated. Honestly, I have a feeling it didn't only happen with him, from our coaching staff.

He seems to be pretty bitter towards his time here. Maybe it's justified. Maybe he's just more comfortable playing for daddy. I don't know. But all I've heard from him is subtle jabs at us.

But I'm happy that he's doing well over there. It doesn't bother me because there's no way he would've done that here. He needed a change.

They can't tell him he sucks because his dad is the coach.

I wonder if he got yelled at for putting up 0 tonight.

Sad to see him grasp at explanations. Seemed like a good guy when he was here though, best of luck to him.

His subtle jams are starting to get pretty annoying. If it wasn't for his dad, and his dad's friend (Monty), he likely wouldn't even be in the league right now.

LOL the real Austin showed back up in Memphis. Its funny how people are jumping all over Rivers now that he's with the clips like he's now "Fixed"

For what its worth in his time in NO

He had 21 vs portland
20 vs Houston
27 vs minny

but yet he has 1 28 point game and the outsiders are like he's better.

he may come off as bitter, but if anyone else told you Doc Rivers was a better Coach than Monty Williams would you disagree?
