    after re watching this. it's crazy how Middleton was getting cooked by Austin + missing key shots on the other end of the floor
  • @grapplerke
    Reaves couldn’t get a closer shot because Brook Lopez was denying that pass
  • Austin reaves is really really good I didn’t expect him to be this good when he first came in
  • @MadaMadaDane25
    “This is a vintage Anthony Davis performance - He’s both injured and dominating.” 😂😂😂
  • @hahasimplyz
    gotta upload more than once a week gangy i be needing these vids😭😭
  • @jarface993
    The bucks looked really out of it this game, lots of times where help and rotations should have occurred yet nothing came.
  • @xerostar
    I love this channel. No talking about questionable calls or refs playing at part a all. Just pure basketball analysis and the host enjoying the plays as love of the game
  • @JohnDoe-ub9ib
    Sometimes i forget how good ad really is because his career has been riddled with injuries
  • @RaZoRFTWo
    Love the analysis, I just don’t agree with the take that Austin didn’t have to shoot from deep on the last possession of regulation. The pass wasn’t there anywhere else.
  • @Fitnesscharged23
    Look how much Giannis was able to close out on Reaves’ game winning field goal attempt at the end of regulation. If he was able to cover that much ground, I don’t think Austin would’ve been able to get off a closer shot. He’s the Greek freak for a reason, his arms are long as hell lol.
  • @wafflesofjustice
    you should do some sort of analysis on three-point shooting in late game, high minute games like this. you mentioned “is it really a 40% corner shot at this point in the game?” and it’d interesting to test that.
  • @nightlightb6549
    Very real chance AD doesn’t finish with a dpoy by the end of his career :(
  • @user-dh7dj3yw1b
    Jrue holidays presence is clearly missing. If Jrue was in Dames position in some of these plays maybe they win the game.
  • @flstep835
    8:08 well AD really was hobbling on defence before this fastbreak so I could see why he took that three 12:50 great effort by Reaves oh my! 16:46 defensive boards are a big problem for Lakers. I was watching a Lakers Sixers game and LA was very underwhelming on defensive rebounds
  • @nicoalexander774
    As a Dubs fan, I’m the biggest Austin Reaves fan that there is. And watching the breakdown of the final moments of this game highlight everything great about HIM: Toughness, IQ, creativity, audaciousness and most importantly and why I believe he’s going to eventually pop and become a, Superstar… His WILL to Win! Magnificent. And if you don’t believe me, go ask our guy Steve Kerr what he thinks about HIM! ⭐️ 🤩
  • @Anthonydu01630
    This game made me lost 20 years of my life 😂 As a Lakers fan, my heart was beating like never and it was so long, 2 damn overtime ! What a game ! Go Lakers !
