    He came up big multiple times, made up big for DLo’s horrendous game.

    He was excellent today. One more like that, and we're going to the WCF.

    Really rough start. Was what? 2-8 to start. Then finally broke through, had a huge 3rd and finally delivered the good this series. Finished 7 of 15 with 21 points.

    Hopefully that's him finding his way and learning how to come through while hurt/tired. This is all new territory for him.

    He finally got going and was big in the second half. Love this kids drive and belief in himself

    Yep, very rough start for him and Dlo but he pulled it together and had a great second half. We needed every bit of it.

    Good game. Made several mistakes during a stretch. But needed his points and ball handling in the second half.

    He said he has played 92 games and that is “3 college seasons all in 1” and is feeling it. Body sore and tired. Good grit.

    He made some tough shots when the game was going the Warriors way .

    INCREDIBLE skills and mental toughness for a 2nd year player

    The Glove is a fan of AR



    Hell of some praise for one of the toughest guards to lace them up.

    Reaves is DOG. We through around "Mamba Mentality" a lot especially before Kobe passed but I don't think many dudes have it. Reaves legit has that in him. He is relentless, he is a thinker and he is going to leave it out there every time. When a guy like Gary Payton singles you out to tell you that it means something. Fans are fans but players KNOW players. High praise for the kid.

    Even more, it's an opposing team's Dad. To call an opponent over to give him props means something.
