My guy here hugging a real coach while his best bud on the bench scrolling through his discord and blocking anyone who says anything bad to him. You know he’s pissed about his and the team’s performance what a shitty way to end the season

AR is a keeper. Anyone who says otherwise I Iike to point you to KCP, Caruso, etc. He is in that caliber of good role players.
He’s playing great defense and putting up 15 on 46% from the field this series. WHILE on one of the best contracts in the league. He’s 100% a keeper
Outside of him and ad no one else looked like they gave a single fuck lol
At least we got this man going forward. Love you AR. 🤞
Reaves issue was that..the coaching staff changed his role due to need. Austin can play defense but his type of defense works when the entire team defense is also holding up. It’s incredibly difficult to be a true 3&D (shout out to Josh hart who said he tried it before and it was awful for him lol)
Still a necessity asset wise for us moving forward.
I can’t wait until we the post from Shams that Ham is fired, or that we are “parting ways with Ham.”
It’ll be the biggest win of the season
I hope somehow Rui + DLo + Picks can get some decent role players. Should keep Reaves for sure.
If he gets traded, this toxic fanbase will say good riddance. Then he’ll completely tear it up wherever he lands. Id love to see him thrive elsewhere. This franchise does nothing for young, promising players except force them to be scapegoats in an effort to coddle their superstars. Guaranteed this team will be definitively worse with whomever they trade Reaves for next season.
I’ll never let you go my goat
People quickly forget AR routinely takes the tough matchup assignment in the playoffs. Dude ran circles around Bane last year. Best contract in the league.
It didn’t seem like he really tried, or at least didn’t start do better, until the last minute of the game…I love Austin, but man our role players just seem to shrink at the absolute worst times and it sucks.
3 to be exact (maybe 4 – Taurean has been solid these playoffs)
Everyone loves to win in this league, they want to win so they can be the man. The key is how much they hate to lose.
Tough to watch Phil Handy on that one. He looked devestated. What sucks is he might not be part of the coaching staff next season. If we fire Ham, the new guy will probably not want Handy on his staff. We very well may be looking at Handys last game with the Lakers on Saturday.
I know the temptation here is to do a fire sale on all of our guys except for AD and Lebron, but it doesn’t make much sense. Personally, I think we keep AD, Lebron (but for a cheaper contract, otherwise we are F’d), AR, and Rui (even though he’s struggled in the playoffs, he’s way too valuable to just let go). I do also like TP, Hayes, and Vando. We honestly just need a bench overhaul. I doubt we’re good enough to beat Denver next year, but we can at least give them a run for their money, especially with a legit center.
