    Real recognizes real.
    Austin is about as real as they come.

    Cade was really really good at the end of the year: as long as he's healthy he's going to have a great career.
    It wouldn't surprise me Reaves has a better even significantly better career then green.

    I expect one more big game from Reaves: if he just has legs, he's finding his spots now to attack on the defense. He's too quick and handle too good for Green, Moody, Klay to guard him - force GS to put GP2 or Wiggins on to him and that will mess up the GS defense at the very least

    Im looking for Austin to have a big game tonight. His last couple shots in last game looked like he found his stroke again.

    Im hoping to bump this comment after the W

    Maybe silly, but I think that 3 to finish the half changed the game a little. It was only 7, the crowd was dead, we looked a little out of it, and then he hit that. But then from there he was great too, 4-5 on threes for the game, good defense, man 2nd year undrafted and relied on like this, just wild.
