    he's just a very good basketball player isnt he? unbelievable it's only his 2nd year.

    we'll be getting a steal if we lock him up long term for around 10million per year.

    He made it happen down the stretch as the primary ball handler!

    Smooth.

    Shame the one on Kennard didn't drop because the moves were as smooth.

    True but what can we do? Just a winner, though.

    I loved the Eagle, but I love Austin even more.
    He’s just a complete player and he’s only getting started.

    He was the second most impactful player on the court today. That one stretch where he made like 3 or 4 great plays in a row late in the game had me yelling.

    With DAR and Lebron out he is our second best player and should be starting and in the mid-thirties in minutes every game. He is a complete player and can handle that kind of time. Till it happens I will continually question Ham's intelligence. Beasley might be better suited as that quick score guy off the bench. Might be a more comfortable role for him.

    way too pale to offer a lucrative long term contract though. Hope he thrives in Chicago.

    that he's not a pg? he's not. he's struggled on many occasions, including recently, in that role. that's ok. it's not where he should be playing on either end. it's nice that he can fill in as a ballhandler here and there, but playing him at pg as a general strategy is asking for trouble.

    Yep, he gets pressed too often and losses lots of time bringing down the ball. That’s why they gave the ball to Troy a few times later on to relieve the pressure.

    right. i don't see how this is a continuing issue, tbh. i'm a huge reaves fan, but he's not a pg like he's not a center.
