At least the Lakers are joined in misery from the Warriors this year who also look like they suck this year even though they still have their entire roster from a championship team back.

Austin Reaves has been doing okay around 5 points last night with 2 blocks and 1 steal 2 rebounds 3 assists. Lakers lost to the Jazz.

Buddy with 25 points and 9 rebounds last night in a win over Miami. He's at 18.6 ppg and 5.8 rebounds and 3.7 assists

Trae Young is averaging 27.5 ppg and 9.4 assists. Had 17 points 7 assists and 6 rebounds in the last game before getting hurt. Is listed as day to day.

Blake has not played in a week.

Trae Young coming off an injury dropped 34 points 10 assists 2 steals. Not bad. Atlanta beats the Pelicans.

Blake played for Boston tonight 7 points 2 assists in 15 minutes. Boston beat the Knicks 133-118

I saw on one of the Lakers podcasts, there was a family from Oklahoma who is currently living in Utah, and they wore Sooner gear to the game last night. After the game, AR hung out with them, took pictures, and got some stuff signed by the players for their son. Really cook gesture.

Trae came back Wed 22 points 9 assists in a losst to Utah. Then had 26 points 7 assists in a win over Philly.

AR is also playing great defense, and is usually guarding one of the other team's top two perimeter players. He totally understands the game, and is probably the smartest basketball IQ besides LBJ....

I follow the NBA close enough which I should be making an occasional contribution here as well.

Last night, Austin Reaves had another terrific game with 16 points off the bench (6-7 shooting) in a Lakers victory. He is averaging north of 10 PPG on the season (I did not see that coming) and north of 50% FG%!

Friday night, Buddy Hield had a great game with 26 as the Pacers beat the Nets. Although still a little streaky, Buddy is doing better than his career averages pretty much across the board, and is averaging 17.7 PPG on the season. He is also closing in on 1500 career 3-pointers made, and is currently #44 in NBA history (should be top 35 by season's end if he stays healthy).

Finally, Trae Young with a monster 44-point game Friday night in a Hawks loss. He is averaging 28.6 PPG on the season. His shooting is finally coming around, though his 3-point PCT is still slightly below the acceptable minimum of 33%.

All of us Lakers fans would love to see AR stick in the starting lineup. He has really found his place as a great role player, who plays hard, hits open shots, and defends like his life depends on it. At this point he's a much better option than Pat Bev....

WaymanFan · 12-03-2022, 07:01 AM

Austin Reaves only scored 7 points in a Lakers victory over Milwaukee, but he has put up unbelievable stats so far this season. Did anyone actually think that at any point in the season he would be averaging double-digit points while hitting more than 50% of his shots, including 40% from three? He has been the most pleasant NBA Sooner surprise perhaps ever, but at least since Anthony Bowie.

With Trae sitting it out due to a sore should, Blake getting his typical "DNP - Coach's Decision", the only other NBA Sooner in action was Buddy Hield. His shooting slump continued with only 6 points and the Pacers terrible defense got shredded again in a blowout loss to Utah.

I'm enjoying watching AR grow as an NBA player. I stay up late watching every Laker game, and he is certainly a fan favorite. LeBron said after the previous game he loves AR because he just makes the right basketball play every time. You can see his confidence growing.

BoulderSooner · 12-05-2022, 03:19 PM

AR 5 points in 25 min in the Lakers win

Yeah, Blake either starts and gets a bunch of minutes OR gets a "DNP - Coach's Decision". My best guess is that he still has some value, so the Celtics want to save him for the postseason to keep his legs fresh. I honestly can't think of another reason for the disparity.
