Austin Reaves on returning from injury: “I’ve been bored for a little over a month now. Sitting on the bench sucks. Think all I did for the month and a half was yell at the refs. That’s no fun. It’s better to yell at them on the court.”
Luka’s rubbing off on him
ayoooo?? 😳
Such a corny joke but it’s unfortunately slightly true
That was not a joke
At least he’s also getting Luka’s shooting and playmaking with it
Playmaking sure. But AR has been a better shooter than Luka (eFG% and 3P% and FT%) for the past 2~3 years
Spoken like a true Laker.
Me when I don’t touch the ball for 3 possessions in a rec game
Spoken like a True Grifter King.
1 game back and you’re all already mad, god I’ve missed him
Lmao I missed him so much. 😂 Honestly, Austin is truly great at drawing fouls. He draws contact and absorbs it really well.
LEMONDADDY
In all his glory 🥰
hard to flop on the bench ain’t it?
I hate that I like this guy.
ironic, the refs love you
Meanwhile when Ants hurt he gets bench techs for daring to say somethinf
What did AR do that deserved a tech?
Well he shot double the free throws the Celtics shot tonight and got half his points from the line.
Are all modern NBA refs actually masochists?
watch the game, he got fouled on all on them on actual fouls and pump fakes where the defender bit
So do a lot of players they don’t always get the call even LeBron
Lebron is pretty bad at drawing fouls the non traditional way, it’s why his flops/foul baits are more blatant/ obvious.
Oh for sure I’m just saying the idea that Reaves doesn’t have a good whistle cus he does get fouled is weird. Plenty of guys get fouled hard and yet get no whistle. I remember demar talking about how he wasn’t getting the same calls here even tho he was doing the same exact things he’s always done to get calls, only thing that changed was the jersey he wore
Reaves is genuinely elite at drawing fouls
Yells at refs → gets free throws.
Leaving the Lakers would be career suicide for this guy.
such a white privilege thing to say
