    Rookies don’t know how to manage weight fluctuations just yet so probably that’s why he looks so weak like a newborn deer

    This guy's game reminds me of Kirk Hinrich.

    I would like to see a lineup where AR15 & Monk are in the backcourt, I think they can be fun.

    Hmmm …. he was looking not like a newborn deer prior to catching the nasty bug which Vogel said was anything “but” mild symptoms for him with a severe cough, but you rather surmise as a 23 year old rookie he’s not used to his weight fluctuations yet. I object your Captainship and move that be stricken from the record. Stating article 101 of the common sense handbook, Occam’s Rule: If it looks like a razor, walks like a razor, and quack’s like a razor …. sheeeoot that boy had that bug messin’ with him. Rather.

    I’m upset that our fans haven’t voted Reaves into the top 10 of all star voting.

    If he is to be our new Caruso, we gotta get him some all star votes.

    It was so fun to see other NBA fans get triggered by Caruso’s popularity.

    That beautiful floater, another solid game and looking even quicker and better on D … plus more great basketball plays from the kid.

    He plays winning basketball. Team first player. Always moves the ball, plays heads up D, he’s unselfish.

    Trae Young doing that BS Harden hook on Reaves arm on that drive. Luckily the ref didn’t fall for it.

    i was wondering why no one was talking about that play. great d, didn't give up on pursuit and made the heady play to finish. next trip down he makes a nice attack dribble to draw the defense for an open melo three (toe on line).

    he's just always making winning plays. even when he gets scored on in isolation, those are shots i'm living with.

    Honestly I'd love to see what Reaves/THT would look like instead of AB/Russ.

    He’s got so much offensive game he’s having to keep under conservative check. Except when now Vogel gives him the keys to handle the ball at the point, like tonight for the 2nd time for the last 5 minutes. Last game he showed us the floater and tonight 3 times, including open court and half court, his handles and clever attacks and finishes at the rim …. plus continued good-great defense, shooting, passing and heads up plays. What an exciting young player!

    :rock: :clap: :cool:
