Off Guard with Austin Rivers
Ja Morant’s Absurd Layup Package, the Surprising Hawks, and Depth Is the New “Big 3”
About the episode
Austin and Pausha kick things off by talking about Ja Morant’s ridiculous layups against the Lakers last night, which reminded us why we’ve missed him so much (1:16). Then, they discuss Darius Garland and the surging Cleveland Cavaliers (11:59), the surprising start for Cam Thomas and the Brooklyn Nets (14:48), and Zaccharie Risacher, who’s providing even more hope for the Atlanta Hawks (22:55). Finally, with the Warriors’ early-season success, they break down how much depth is necessary for teams to compete at the next level (40:24).
