    Good payback for all the lucky bounces/BS Denver has had against the Lakers these latest seasons

    He’s already a Laker Legend, but some want to give him away for spare parts.

    reaves is a max player - period. Yes he has to show it in the playoffs and elevate his game even more, but I have a good feeling we're going to see him take another step in the playoffs.

    i still find myself shocked he wasn't even a first rounder. and i remember watching highlights from college and being like...but can he do that against the pros (narrator: he could). but still, the talent was obvious.

    the fact that he basically looks like the college guy in the nba is something scouts will have to scrutinize. like, in a play in the denver game, he had the presence of mind on a drive to see it was jokic on the back line and know that despite his own athletic limitations, jokic couldn't block his shot, so he just went right at him and scored. i feel like other guys would have just quickly seen "big" and adjusted strategy. he just processes the game faster and has elite eye-hand coordination (like luka).
