    The rare clunker game for Reaves and Monk as well. Bummer.

    I hope he’s ok. They showed him limping and then he came out of the game. I didn’t see what happened.

    lol, shut him down, too. if we're going to keep ellington and baze and ariza on the roster, let's run them hard and let them take the injury risks on this dead season.

    once again was one of the only guys showing consistent effort and focus. shot terribly (that layup that rolled out was a nice move), but i can forgive it.

    why do you start him if you are not going to play him any minutes, he had a +7 when he was on the court.

    Great job playing despite the ankle sprain, props for that. Shot poorly but hustled everywhere. I love his fight. How about that strip in the lane? Just a tough kid. Got smacked around but never quit.

    Our whole team could learn toughness and hustle from a rookie. Just that statement tells you what a disappointment this roster is.

    i'm actually ok with him starting and playing fewer minutes. as things stand, he's going to be our starter next year at the sg. so get him some reps against other top units, but don't burn him out.

    Our roster is littered with chumps. I'm keeping Stan and Austin.

    I still prefer Reaves closing to starting. He’s better and more clutch down the stretch.

    You'd think I went to watch Bron's highlights... You'd be mistaken. I went to see how AR did. The answer -- splendidly.

    Yeah... him, Stanley and Malik are the only bright spots in this piece of s*** of a season. And probably the next one too. Hope he's full time starter playing 30 mpg next year.

    34 minutes tonight … more than anyone else on the team except LeBron’s 39. THT 18 in comparison with Monk and Westbrook 32 each.

    I literally can’t say enough about how much I enjoy watching him play defense.

    And the experience he gets from Vogel giving him the toughest match ups is wonderful …. staying in front of his man better and better.

    Another great + - game for Austin, not so great for the others.

    This thread is too positive. Let's reset. Just think that we could have had a Reaves/Caruso backcourt. Not only would it have been fantastic, it would have looked like a YMCA team.
