Why not double Reaves, since no one else wants the ball? Bad coaching there.
I think that was the plan, but he split the double. Rudy just had really bad lateral movement
I meant double him and don't guard the inbounder. But you don't double him with Gobert. Ayton came up to the three point line to set a screen, Reaves split it and you got the game winner. Finch was supposed to use two wings (DiVo and Jaden).

Reaves is definitely getting traded for at least one of SGA, Giannis, Jokic, and Wemby.

Jokes aside, everyone expected he should have been at least in the famous LA/Mavs trade package.

Why is gobert on the court if you are going to defend like that? Everyone in the world knew what the play is going to be. Unless you doubled reaves and you needed gobert to protect the rim fine, but gobert in a P&R is a recipe for disaster

Equally a good play by Reaves and a complete breakdown by Minnesota.

Re: Wednesday 10/29 NBA Game Thread
Azcats asked me who I liked between Reaves, Herro and Cam Thomas and I emphatically stated I like Austin, because while Reaves is not a point guard, he has the handles to get to his spots. His issue is getting worn down come playoff time, but the guy is a baller.

Kenny and Chuck are bigger Laker haters than I'll ever be
chanting "Jeremy Lin" at the end of the game as if Austin hasn't been consistently good the last 2-3 years. He's a very nice player

Just goes to show that AR can be much more than just a 3rd option. to have him playing at this level as a 3rd option when Luka/Bron comes back is a good scenario to be in.

Lakers were only down 1, there's always a risk of the Lakers throwing it towards the hoop.
