It makes no sense that Rui Hachimura is performing better in the playoffs, yet Austin Reaves is getting more shot attempts.
Reaves is OKC's best player 8 points 3/16 from the field 😂
27 PTS for a 41 year old with 12/17 FG . Dude needs a deep massage this evening and deep thinking about Reeves.
What a master class performance from Austin Reaves tonight, 8 points, 3-16 FG. 0-5 3PT.
Rui has such clean shooting form.
Bron and Hachimura were the only two starters who played well today. The rest of the starters struggled and the bench struggled to generate points as well.
Rui should take most of the shots than reaves, why do lakers wont feed ball to rui grrr
Austin Reeves, George Reeves, Keanu Reeves, OKC in 4 😂👌🏾
This was OKCs rust game. The Lakers needed to win this.
OKC was rusty and still won by 18, Thunder defense and athleticism is just too great.
Reaves and laravia both on the floor will give you headaches🗑️
And this is one of the closest games between them all season. If not the closest. Let that sink in
They started falling behind since Reaves came back from injury😂😂 Bronny's dad carrying Austin's ass rn.
Reaves broke the lakers chemistry .. everytime he got the ball he want an iso .. lol
Jared McCain making that 1st round pick Worth it 12 points off the bench
Starting lineup Lebron, Rui, kennard, Ayton Smart 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
How is no one talkin bout Ajay Mitchell he is the X factor for okc. Elite on both ends of the floor!
Laker fan but I knew this series wasn’t gonna go well for us. With Luka out, I’m surprised we made it out the first round. That being said, glad to see Bron playing in the playoffs again 💯
The series couldve been an e-mail.
my soul hurt when i saw Reaves' stat line... 3-16, 0-5 from three is rough
