NBA- OU players and general (this thread only)

Reaves led the Lakers in scoring...in a 40 point loss to OKC.

and Fears another 21 point game on 7-10 in a loss

Just read that Fears became the 11th teenager to reach 1,000 career points. Not sure if that’s more impressive than saving Moser’s job, but it’s pretty cool!

Yes, his career looks very promising! It has been a rather challenging year to say the least for OU NBA players. The Hawks finally traded Trae Young with all his injuries coupled with the fact they played better without him. Buddy had been trending down for the past couple of years and completely fell off a cliff this year...not sure if his career is over at this point. Austin has been terrific, but missed such a large part of the season with injuries. Jeremiah has played as well as can be expected for a guy who was 18 years old when the season started. I'll forever be a fan of his after sitting in the 4th row under the basket in Charlotte of his game-tying 3-point shot while getting fouled in the process.

Austin Reaves season is likely over. Out 4-6 weeks at least.

I say likely because Luka isn't likely coming back in that span. I don't see the Lakers winning an opening round without those 2. Could be wrong though.

I don't think we were going to win more than a series with our current defensive liabilities, but we are really cooked without those two healthy...

Correct. With those two healthy, we could beat the Rockets, Nuggets or T-Wolves, but they would be competitive series since all four of those teams are evenly matched with everyone healthy. And to win a second series, we'd have to beat SA or OKC. That was a longshot with our defensive liabilities. LeBron has done his best to beat Father Time, but he's at least 5 years past his expiration date of carrying a team in the playoffs. As such, we'd be lucky to win two 1st round games against any of those three teams.

I agree 100%
