    Glad to see him back on the floor. Didn’t shoot well at all, 2/13 fg shooting. Clutch corner 3 though, and we won! :)

    Yeah worst game I have seen from AR this year. Shat happens, he'll do better. Really hope our team is healthy for the playoffs.

    Reaves is an interesting dude. Most of the time, he plays like an all star. Then he has a game where he can't hit anything, shoots 15%, is just basically invisible. I can't quite figure out why. But alright, he's back, hopefully he plays well against Boston. He does play very well more often than not.

    Lots of Reaves’ game is built on guile, he’ll dribble and get a player off balance and then draw a foul and hit the and 1.

    Sometimes those circus type shots don’t go down, or your dribble is a little off. On days like that, he can usually get his catch and shoot going.

    Tonight he didn’t have either. But he still hit a clutch shot at the end. And he was a fantastic team mate supporting Gabe to end the fourth.

    Probably needed more time before coming back

    But this was conditioning and rhythm for him, so it's nice it didn't cost us a game.

    When Reaves canned that shot, raised his hands upward probably saying "Finally!".

    The last time AR had a game when he was cold like that Luka was not on the team yet and AD was out with his recent before badly aggravated in Dallas injury but Bron had carried them to a victory and AR got him by the shoulder walking off the floor to thank him for the win in spite of how he had played. The next game LeBron was also out along with AD against the Pacers who were on a roll at the time and with one of the best rated defenses in the league. Austin went off for his career best 45 7 7 and 3 steals. Look the H out tomorrow C-bags? Let’s hope. :rock:

    AR is a baller plain and simple. These guys have bad games (runs) but they bounce back. AR coming off a few games off looked a bit rusty to me. Our whole team had some weird flow which I thought came with NY being able to be very physical against us. In any case, Austin has proven he will bounce back. I def hope he continues to be a Cbag killer though I think it will be 77 putting on a show.

    Even the All Time greats like Kobe, Jordan, ect. had multiple bad games every season.

    @LTLakerFan I'm attached.

    If we're judging by his advanced metrics, is he putting up close to All-Star Numbers? Grant it, the last game he shot horribly. If he has an average Reaves game, the game isn't that close...

    Combination of two tough defensive teams and the injuries seems to have completely thrown AR off his game.
    This was not the guy we were watching before the injury.

    He competed defensively .. On the other end he was the only one who could blow by Horford but couldn't finish .

    I'm not worried about him , he'll get his timing back

    he's a rhythm player, and you know what they say about certain guys and the rhythm they are born with....

    If you lose your rhythm, it can be hard to find it again.
