    Well, that is good to hear. When’s he supposed to return?

    Reaves has been the nicest surprise of this very young season thus far. He and Melo I should say but I'm not as shocked by Melo. Reaves is giving us stunning minutes as a terrific all around player. Way better than I ever would have imagined for a rookie. Glad we gave him the roster spot instead of spending on Ennis.

    Defense seems to be holding, shooting not so much

    That’s a plus though, “Offense sells tickets, but defense wins championships.”. I always expect rookies to struggle at some point, it’s why I said a while back I’m sure it will be bumpy here and there, but the kid is still a player in this league.

    Maybe Reaves is the reason Caruso was let go?

    Reeves is the new Carushow...

    His energy and D is great. His shooting isn't compared to Caruso who took little amount of shots but on usually good percentage.

    Please don't play Westbrook with Reaves. Westbrook never looks weak side, Reaves needs more touches on offense, good things happen when he does touch the ball. Russell focus is driving, looking for Melo or dumping to AD, Reaves is stuck on gillian's island in the corner.

    I thought he hit Reaves in the corner twice. I know Reaves had 2 wide open misses. I’m not positive who passed the ball to him though.

    I said I wasn’t positive but I do think at least a couple of the passes was from Westbrook. Reaves did get 5 three point shot opportunities. That’s tied for 3rd most attempts this game. How many 3 point opportunities would you like him to get?

    The best thing, along with Melo, about this team. How sad is that?

    Plays D. Gets whistled for phanthom fouls. Par for the course.
