Off Guard with Austin Rivers
Klay’s Return to the Bay, Pistons Rookie Learns Tough Lesson, and Consequences of a Bad Trade
About the episode
Austin and Pausha are back and reflect on Wednesday night’s game Pausha attended between the Magic and the Pacers (3:00). They discuss another underwhelming Tyrese Haliburton performance and how this compares to other teams with star players that aren’t quite living up to expectations (5:07). Then, they hit on rookie Ron Holland missing two free throws and ultimately costing the Pistons the game vs. the Bucks, and the shift in momentum both ways (12:34). Later, they break down Klay Thompson’s return to the Bay Area and the high-tension atmosphere between him, Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, and the rest of the Mavs and Warriors (0:00), before Austin shares his experience of what it’s like being on the opposite end of Steph’s shooting flurries and dances (28:38).
