He became the first player to shoot 0 for 10 on contested shots, the first since Draymond Green in 2023. He got 6 open shots (4-6 feet of seperation) where he went 3-6. If anything looks scarier it’s the fact that simply could not get open with 0 wide open shots. Just eye testing it he also didn’t look like wanted the ball, almost hiding in the wing sometimes

As much talk as there’s been about SGA Reaves constantly tries to draw contact rather than shoot normally

At least a few of his misses felt influenced by him trying to contort his body to hit the defender lol

He plays for the Lakers, they gave him 15 FTs a game when Luka and Bron sat, why wouldn’t he try to foul bait

Well I can see you’re a Celtics fan and clearly have an innate bias towards the lakers, but you’re actually just wrong.

AR has been a foul baiter since he made it to the NBA, and will continue to be whether he stays with the Lakers or not. That’s part of his bag, and he’s admitted so himself. Even defended SGA just days ago bc game recognize game.

It’s not some weird conspiracy about referees loving the Lakers. If that was true then LeBron wouldn’t get some of the fewest FTs per drive. It’s that Luka and AR, as part of their game, sometimes drive in the paint with the express purpose of drawing fouls. *thats* why they get more FTs than players who dont do that… same for SGA. I don’t like it, but there’s no conspiracy dude

Tribalistic mentality with sports is so weird. I was gonna say not everything is a conspiracy, but then again Jaylen Brown is a Celtic and he’s all about conspiracy lately, so I see where you’re getting that from lol

Both his first and second year in the playoffs he elevated his game compared to the regular season. It’s not his fault that they got beat by the Nuggets twice.

Last year he sucked, and was playing injured. This year, he’s played all of three playoff games, is very obviously rusty and coming off of injury, and has been bad in two of three.

Y’all have such short term memories that you only remember the last series that a guy plays in and then expand it out to encompass his whole career.

It’s not fair because the Thunder defense fouls so much. That’s why the lakers couldn’t get it done. Meanwhile SGA was flopping his way to a Thunder victory. How else do you explain the 3 free throw attempts?

Let me give you a run down on all the reasons you will see in this thread.

It’s just one game.
He’s coming back from injury
He only makes 13 mil/yr.
Who else would you play?
JJ needs to use him more instead of having him stand in a corner.
The Refs swallowed the whistles this game, look at SGA FT g1
If AR scores his averages, we would be find (but they will fail to mention of SGA scores his as well)

These are all over the laker subreddit but it’s mostly karma farmers. Genuinely think most of the fan base knows he’s not a playoff riser

Austin Reaves shot 0-10 on contested shots, the first player, the first player since Draymond Green in 2023
