Another good game after shaking off the injury rust
He’s HIM

That play to get the rebound off the missed FT and tie the game was CRAZY.
Dang near play of the year tbh. Can’t think of another one
i can think of one…
The Olsen Twins def shittalking each other rn, and they both have a point as to why their play was better lol
i was talking about his buzzer beater agains the wolves lol
This was better, anybody can beat the wolves
It was perfectly executed too, idk of any way to stop that
Austin ‘Blank Check’ Reaves incoming, goddamn, this dude is fr so good.
Put as many 0s on that mfer as you can idc
Bro will walk into that office and blurt out “Give me 250 Ms” and walk out, have the entire city of LA behind his back, and make like half of the 250 mil in sponsorships just for staying. Absolute baller.
and rich paul had the fucking AUDACITY to bring up trading Austin Reaves for fucking JJJ in the middle of the season…
that shit was so disgusting to watch
What the fuck has been Rich Pauls angle all season. It feels like every time he opens his mouth/gets more exposure he gets more people to hate him.
Lebron gone is he gonna be an agent anymore?
This can be a pivot into media
Rich Paul needs to be banished to the shadow realm
At least should’ve said Giannis
Iirc his argument was fit with Luka but JJJ is just disrespectful
Yea it really put into perspective the disconnect that can still exist from 1 season to the next. Its a good reminder of how much can change even amongst the power brokers.
What isn’t mentioned here is how he was able to deny Jokic the ball all 4th quarter
As furious as I am with how handsy guards get to be with centers Reaves nor the Lakers need to apologize for it and he (and Smart) took full advantage of it
I know right? I’m surprised no one is talking about AR being able to deny the pass to Jokic like 3 straight times down the court
ruined that last one by immediately throwing it away, but the guys hustle has never been an issue. he was incredible again tonight
Yeah that steal straight into a turnover was rough but he more than made up for jt
Ive been trying to tell people his defense during the clutch is actually pretty good. He’s just a dawg, he finds a way to make big time plays
Truly the Laker successor to Alex Caruso.
He was putting so much work it was crazy to see
That’s how Caruso played him on okc vs den. Clearly had 3atched the tape on it
AustHIM
AUSTIN 3:16
Better than Luka
Rage bait
Genuinely felt like anytime he drove to the hoop the lakers scored, looked amazing.
He’s elite around the basket
He just slices the paint if you leave him any type of space
Super Max HIM
As an Austin fan and a Laker hater, I need them to pay the hell out of that man. Rob please lol
His max is 40 million. He will get 35 for 4 years contract easy from lakers.
Hill Billy Goat
HBK
He’s a fucking dawg.
A good example of when you should intentionally miss a free throw 💀💀💀
He’s just HIM
Austin “Max” Reaves
Locked up bum ass Jokic
I love how Luka and Reaves are getting parallel stats and highlights so often.
Superstar
HIMMMMMMMMM
Austin “Himothy” Reaves
This bum keeps making me like him more and more every time I watch him play. I don’t like it.
Bro missed a free throw in the clutch. Literally in the last seconds of the game. Missed it so bad it just hit the rim. Overrated
I reckon he watched some Caruso tape for that fronting ball denial on jokic in the 4th. Looked clean to
I don’t watch the nuggets a lot, but when I do, a role player has a career night and beats them
Reaves ain’t a role player
Austin Reaves is Luka Doncic father
The best time to have the game of your life
He’s had many better games
I mean he’s had multiple better performances than this lol, but definitely a fantastic game tonight.
Im terms of clutchness and all around play idk
You prob don’t watch a lot of Lakers games. He’s had a few of these types of games.
He scored 50 this season and had a buzzer beater against the Wolves
Wtf?? Awful take
They about to give him a max contract and then a few years later realize it may not have been smart to pay Austin Reaves the same as Jokic, Giannis, and SGA
How many players deserve the max to you?
His max is only like $45 million a year, he literally can’t get paid as much as those guys right now
Him and Luka without LeBron and Ayton weighing them down can maybe beat okc
I know Ayton played in both games but with him and LeBron, they lost by 9. With Luka and AR, they lost by 31. So clearly if Ayton played by himself, Lakers would have won
Listen props to yall for winning but the sucking off for this guy I’ll have to hear for the next couple of days will slowly kill me
A sacrifice I am willing to make.
Glad I could help
RIP BOZO
I’m just salty rn sorry mane
nw i was prepping to be salty too given how it seemed the game was gonna be going, just like the last like 3 playoffs lol
Glad you guys get to feel it this time, it’s been a minute :)
Yeah and truthfully it was a close game, it was headed for a blowout I’m glad it was competitive but FUCK I wanted this one bad
