I can’t even be mad at Austin Reaves he’s playing through an oblique injury That’s damn near a 2 month recovery time and he came back in 3 weeks.
He deserves his money
Shoutout Austin for returning from injury. Came back early, didn’t have to. Clearly hurt but still was out there against the defending champs & giving his all. Realistically he should be playing off Luka as a 2 option in this series. Unfortunately that wasn’t possible.
@LakersNation This is my last season being a lakers fan if Reaves is still here next season. He’s the worst basketball player I’ve watched in my 56 years of watching basketball.
Austin Reaves said he "would have to watch the film" when asked about how the Lakers can stop the third-quarter runs from the Thunder.
"If I had answers, we would not be struggling."
The Lakers are about to pay $150M + to a Austin, and he'll deserve it.
But he just got badly outplayed by the Thunder's 15th highest paid player. And that's really what makes the Thunder such a unique challenge for the rest of the league.
If Lakers do not move on from LeBron and surround Luka and Reaves with defenders, they will never win a chip. Having role players who do not defend or rebound is FN insane.
