    Didn’t like some of the turnovers. Over dribbles once in a while and forces something that is obvi and isn’t there for him.
    Overall though, very pleased with AR.

    yeah, when people have been saying russell wasn't worth 4/100 (or more), i kept thinking about poole. i imagine that's where russell's agent has pegged his value (and it makes sense). and poole's not exactly killing it here...

    anyway, reaves thread: he cooled off a little after the insane finish to game 1 but still looks like a veteran out there already.

    My favorite part is that a cooled off AR still gives you 11 pts 8 ast 6 reb and 2 blocks.

    Are we all in agreement Austin has massive amounts of “IT”?

    Would be hilarious if a camera happened to catch his bare back in the locker room and instead of this clean, no tats farm boy ….. he had a massive HIM on his back.

    Big series for Austin...Wiggins and Thompson are good defenders, he needs to be careful with the loose handles. Poole can score too..he won't have many easy nights. I'm looking for the next step up from Austin, it might take him a minute to find his bearings though.

    Klay isn't good anymore on D , Austin should go at him and try to get him in foul trouble

    agree. klay's offense hasn't dropped off much, but his defense has, imo. he's closer to someone you have to hide now. gs can only put one of them on vando (guessing that's klay's assignment). i bet reaves draws wiggins, though. but hey, at least that means wiggins can't be sagging to help all possession long.

    Don't you think they're going to start Draymond on Vando so he can help everywhere ?
