The Los Angeles Lakers have some work to do after failing to capture a win in the first two games of the Western Conference Finals against the Denver Nuggets. The Lakers may trail 2-0 in the series, but young guard Austin Reaves has been among one of the team’s best players.
Reaves scored 23 points in Game 1, behind only LeBron James and Anthony Davis in points that night. In Game 2 on Thursday, he added another 22 points with five three-pointers.
Reaves took to the podium to address the media on Thursday night, but fans were unable to look past his appearance after the game.

Reaves, with his hair still messy from the game, appeared more like the lead singer of a rock band than an NBA shooting guard.
“Mark Hoopus,” one fan called him, in a reference to one of the members of Blink-182.

Some other fans brought up My Chemical Romance, another popular act of the mid 2000s.

Papa Roach also proved to be a popular option among fans, with reference to one song in particular:

The Lakers will have to “resort” to whatever means they can to grab a win in Game 3 on Saturday to avoid falling into a 3-0 hole in the series against the Nuggets.
