    Similar height, weight, exact same type of dog mentality. H Town Hustle is more athleticly gifted with the lateral quickness and more springs, which serves him on D, but Austin is a much better natural scorer, and facilitator.

    Reaves is a smooth player you can run plays for him. Hes very similar to Luka. Needs the ball in pick and roll sets. Can shoot post. Everything you want in a player Reaves gives you. Kind of like James Harden not as great a shooter as James Harden but crafty enough to always get to the line. Love his game.

    Not Caruso. Carusos a role player. A Marcus smart kind of player. Can play bigger than he has to. Can guard 1-5 unless his name is Wembyana.

    We got Reaves cause he’s white and a bunch of teams said nah I ain’t taking that white guy who looks like he should be working in our front office.

    Reaves is a movie. You would make a movie about him.

    Crazy thing is...Austin said he that thought he was going to Milwaukee. The Bucks snoozed and we reaped the benefit! It's also rather wild that Austin was originally on a two way contract. Lebron (supposedly) put an end to that immediately...or so he claims. LeGM hit that one out of the park!(allegedly)

    :LLLLLebronlaughing:

    On an entirely different note..what's up with these wild ads? I'm glad they finally took down, that semi porn age weight loss, chart ad. I'm definitely no prude, but that joint was kinda creepy!

    :Laugh:

    He did. After seeing AR work at his private team get together in Las Vegas he called the FO or Rob and told them how good he was already. Allegedly. I believe it.

    Milwaukee should’ve made that trade. Getting main focal point Austin you’re looking at these stats. For a guy who has told you he doesn’t know if he’s staying.

    Would’ve been kind of like a low key Shai Clippers Kawhi deal. Glad we didn’t do it.

    What I like about Luka is he didn’t pull a Kawhi and say before he signed his deal you must trade Reaves for Gianiss.

    cause he saw the smart long build of what our team can be with these two playing together and Ayton.

    I kept telling yall we have a OKC blueprint here. And they all like each other.

    When Lebron gets back we really can win a championship. If LeBron buys in we can win this championship.

    Teams won’t be able to defend us. Like I said Luka Reaves and LeBron picking taking turns who’s gonna pick and role with Ayton. How do you stop that??????????

    Antetokounmpo was initially listed as probable for Thursday's game, so, surprisingly, he's getting ruled out just an hour before tip-off.
    So basically Bucks said f*** you MJ
    We still going to do it our way

    Another potential illegal gambling situation!


    ETA: Not alleging anything against Giannis, but if anyone who knew, tipped off some bettors, like the Damon Jones - LeBron scenario, that's what I'm talking about.

    Nico Harrison might be regarded as great as Jerry West in this organization. He is a Beautiful man. Let me tell you why he’s a beautiful man.

    didn’t go Sam Presti on us and demand Austin Reaves and Anthony Davis for Luka.

    this wasn’t Reaves this season this was Reaves last season. He could’ve demanded Reaves.

    Thank you Nico.

    could’ve demanded we got him off of Klay Thompson.

    And AD looks like we got the best out of him with the injuries. Looked like he was declining.

    How did we get Luka for Anthony Davis????? Wow just wow.

    Wiggins has played pretty well so far - Magic needs to talk to Riley saying its about time to pull a McHale and help out your real team.

    Really have no idea what Miami is trying to do now.

    Riles has dumped TWO extremely injury prone guards on us in the recent past. I trust him as much as I do Ainge in making a fair deal.
    Plus, I don’t want Wiggins’ bloated contract having us miss out on properly valued complimentary pieces this summer.

    Just watched the highlights of that game. Biggest thing that stood out to me was how the Spurs guys reacted to the win at the end. They were hyped. They're following Wemby's lead and are trying to make a statement this year. Not looking forward to playing them.

    Wemby is unfair, really. They're building something special. If he stays healthy, they'll land in the top 7, IMO.

    higher, imo. if he can play like this for 82 games, they'll finish top 3.

    Possibly. I'm just assuming they'll have an jury or load manage him.

    It's not because they are following Wemby.They started 5-0 for first time in their history
    San Antonio has previously won four consecutive games three times, most recently – in 2017.
