His playoff experience also included a matchup with Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors, a defensive assignment Reaves didn’t particularly enjoy. 

"It’s honestly hell," Reaves said on the "All The Smoke" podcast. 

"The way he moves without the ball. It’s honestly their system, too. It fits him to perfection. You literally can’t ever relax. I remember games 1 and 2 chasing him and Klay [Thompson] around, and I couldn’t make a shot. Everybody’s looking at me like, ‘Why can’t you make a shot?’ I’m like, ‘I ain’t got no legs.'"
