    Well at least Reggie loves the game and you can tell. It seems half of the ex players now in media just want to trash players and don't even like watching

    These highlights @Pioneer10 is why I am dubious about him getting just lost on team D as some pointed. A guy with this (as demonstrated above) defensive IQ and instincts doesn't do dumb things on defense.

    It's gotta be some dumb Pimple stuff that gets him caught in-between or overhelping.

    I missed Middleton too smalling AR. What …. was that in support of Beverley’s hurt and disrespected “feelers” from last year, when this year he pledged to dog Austin to the ends of the earth as his sorry life’s new mission …. but didn’t get off the bench to “try” to do it again himself?

    HIM


    Killing it


    He loves the moment. Bigger the moment, bigger his confidence. Not common in undrafted players. That overlooked should chip is valuable, Gil used that as a second round pick to motivate him until he picked up a gun.

    Speaking of guns, Austin returns to Memphis tonight. Wonder if he'll have family in town and if he'll try to show out for them again.

    couple days late, but man...teams are going to go after beasley in the playoffs...

    credit to austin, of course, but it takes a mistake to create open lanes like those, and beasley was there to provide it.

    anyway, reaves rules.

    I truly believe Austin still has a higher ceiling than people think.

    He’s only 3rd year and 25. That’s not super young in age, but he hasn’t had much time in the league to gain that NBA strength, and strength is his biggest weakness IMO.

    He’s going to get stronger. The NBA season won’t wear on his body as much in a year or two and he has a hoops IQ where all he needs is more experience to shred defenses.

    AR loves pushing the fast break and I love watching him do it. Sneaky but legit fast in that regard with great handles, passing and decision making.

    I didn't either until they brought it up in one of the recent games as to why his 3 ball died as of late. Need to get him a rest before the playoffs

    Played all 82 games. reall warrior: does whatever the team asks of him.

    Careless with the ball at times and his defense/shooting are really impacted by fatigue but dudes a baller. With all these guards if they can keep him at 30 minutes or below his shooting and defense along with the playmaking are just so good for a #3
