Austin Reaves since declaring himself “Him” in Game 1 vs. Memphis: 39.8% fg% and 29.7% 3p%.



https://www.statmuse.com/nba/ask/austin-reaves-stats-last-7-games

Reaves had 23-3-4 on 61.5/60/100 shooting splits the first game of the playoffs in which a video went viral of him yelling “I’m Him!” in the middle of a hot stretch.

Since then Reaves has averaged 13-5-4 on 39.8/29.7/80 shooting splits.

    He’s just trying to make it easier for the Lakers to afford him next year!

    Actual NBA dudes on too much social media like nephs in this sub. Can’t hate on a dude for feeling themselves, but calling “HIM” status by a role player is wild lmaoo

  3. Ssuuushi

    people on here are so weird, dude was celebrating cause he was killing it that night.

  4. mMounirM

    I remember people were posting re-draft threads after that game 1 lmao

    Clippers fans after their annual playoffs first round exit:

  6. Reaves looks tired from getting targeted and chasing Klay.

    A big part of the blowout in game 2 was that in game 1 you saw 44 mins for AD, 39 mins for Reaves, and 40 mins for LeBron. Not a good sign for the Lakers to have that type of load and win by 5, then 2 days later look exhausted.

    Game 3 should be better for the Lakers after resting in the 4th.

    at least he wasn’t calling himself a dynasty or some other crazy shit.

  8. Bwahehe

    It’s what the Warriors have always done. They wear the hell out of you chasing around their shooters like crazy until the gas runs out.

  9. islandmoneygame

    In just 2 years, the dude went from being undrafted to a bench player to a starter in the 2nd round against a dynasty. I think that’s incredible in itself.

    I can see him only getting better in the years to come.

  10. lets_talk_basketball

    Reeves had the same thing happen in the 2nd half of the season last year, he hit a wall where his legs were gone… now he’s gotta chase Klay around and is struggling. All his misses have been short

  11. AstroWorldSecurity

    “I’m/ he’s Him.” has got to be the dumbest little phrase to get popular. It just sounds stupid.

  12. MostBotsAreBad

    I mean, he didn’t say “and I will always continue to be Him!”

    It ebbs and flows. Cut him some slack. He was feelin’ good. It passes, for all of us.

  13. TILFromReddit

    This just tells me opposing coaches are structuring gameplans around stifling Reaves by treating him as a priority to defend.

  14. edwardfortehands

    he’s not shooting as well but he still looks great as a ball handler

  15. Awwh_Dood

    Literally every player talks shit when they make big plays

    Austin Reaves is a 2nd year undrafted player and he closed out a playoff game on the road.

    This is just hate

  16. realudonishaslem

    I like his game but I’ve seen some Laker fans on Tiwtter genuinely believing this man is better than Tyler Herro

  17. beast8955

    Y’all are so weird on here it’s embarrassing. God forbid a undrafted second year player who was cooking in his first playoff game ever show any ounce of emotion or celebrate.

    Nephews on r/nba having nothing better to do with their time than just hate, what’s new

  18. o2lsports

    IMHO anyone who makes the starting playoff roster of an NBA team is, in fact, him.

  19. seddard

    14.5p 5.1r 4.4a 0.5s 1.6to in 35mins with 43/33/88 splits is not bad at all for an undrafted 2nd year guy as a starter in his debut postseason.

  20. Complex_Jellyfish647

    He spent the last series chasing Bane around screens, and now he’s being tasked with chasing Klay fucking Thompson around screens. His legs are cooked. This happens to anyone who has to guard Klay.

  21. The-Pharcyde

    Typical ups and downs of a role player.

  22. allthatglittersis___

    u/xpillindaass is the same guy that posted “Kawhi has more fg than Embiid this playoffs”

    This nephew must have 10+ uncles and a Big Head of Skip Bayless in his room. Mount Rushmore r/nba hater

  23. daprice82

    Since we’re celebration hating here, and since I don’t want to make a new post for it, I’d like to take this opportunity to ask if we can retire the “ice in my veins” celebration that literally everyone does for every big shot now?

  24. MethodMan_

    Clippers fans keeping themselves busy

  25. Low-Cable-9167

    What a lame ass fucking post, mans cant even have confidence in himself anymore

  26. burnt_cheezit

    If he has clippers fans making angry post cuz hes in the postseason after cooking all year as an undrafted sophomore while their team is a yearly 1st/2nd round exit, hes doing something right

  27. itachi_75

    The Los Angeles Clippers since acquiring Paul George and Kawhi Leonard and starting the “Streetlights over Spotlights” campaign:

    3 Playoff Meltdowns

    1 Time missing playoffs altogether

    4 Regular Season “Battle for LA” Championships 💪💪💪💪💪

  28. artmorte

    I pray this “x is him” thing dies a quick death. It’s grinding my gears so much already.

  29. CapOnBrimBent

    I think he’s gassed. Used to attack the rim and get to the line, this is the longest stretch of basketball he’s been a part of and he has exceeded expectations up until this point. I feel like he’s running into a walk and settling for jumpers with no legs.

  30. slamdunka

    Didn’t know what it meant then. Don’t know now.

  31. Human-Establishment9

    Man,this kid was probably shooting in his driveway when he was younger, imagining he was on the Lakers in a play off game. Counting down the seconds for a buzzer beater. He made it there, hes a second year UNDRAFTED player that is playing for his fav team ever. He is Him

  32. PensiveinNJ

    Color me shocked that Austin Reaves is not in fact, him.
