Reaves last 10 games

16 PPG
5 APG
55.2 FG%
41.2 3PT%


Why is he not starting and the ball running through him/dlo %100 of the time?

I would look at what the Rockets did with Harden and I would ask him to simulate the same thing. I would say Reaves go for 30 every night and hug the ball. I am telling you it sounds terrible, but the results would be beautiful.

He obviously wont get 30 I don't think he has the stamina and cardio but by putting the ball in his hands will open the game for others because he is not selfish. He is like Ginobili in that they could go for 30, but they perfer 20-22 points and killing you with their team8s. Its straight high IQ basketball that you do not see in the league.

When you look at Reaves there is not a single negative thing in his game (offensively). START THE MAN.

Reeves should be a starter. 100% Aside from Lebron, he’s the second highest bball IQ player on the roster and should be out there helping to orchestrate right from the start.

And while we’re at it Mr. Ham, learn this phrase and repeat it often: “No rebounds, no rings.” We are getting killed on the boards, not because of effort as you keep saying, but because you keep putting undersized lineups out there. You fixed that problem when you played Wenyen alongside AD. Please learn from that and go big.

Hey hey, Ham, Ham, I don’t like your lineup
No way, no way, I think you need a new one
Hey hey, Ham, Ham, I could write your lineup

Troy Brown is like so whatever
You could so so much better
I think we should work together now
And that’s what everyone’s talking about

In a second, you’ll have a ring around your finger
‘Cause I can, ‘cause I can do it better
There’s no other (playmaker besides Reaves), so when’s it going to sink in?
You’re so stupid, what the hell were you thinking?
And that’s what everyone’s talking about

Reaves doesn’t have even close to the handles that Harden does, his best value is as a secondary creator. He has been playing around 30 mpg, I think that is appropriate for him.

Yep. I don't have a problem with the way we've used Reaves. We've put him in situations where he can maximize his effectiveness.

I think he should come off the bench. The starting lineup, particularly with LeBron in it, doesn’t need another ball handler out there. The bench does.

I think AR is good off the bench. It's the number of minutes he plays that really matters, not whether he starts or not.

He needs 35-38 minutes a game not 30 IMO. Take 2 minutes each from Beas, Schro, and TBJ.
