Reggie went 20/20 the other night, didn't he?

Did he get a triple double last night, or did I misread that?

I don't think he's retired just yet. Sometimes it takes a few games to settle in.

Pretty sure the reason MJsaver disappeared is because he owes me 100 bucks.

The Stifle Tower coming for blood.

Catch Booz with a loose elbow, give Hill *ahem* a shot or 2. Lin? You're getting a knee to the kidney.

 

[pmatic]

*ahem*

I was too. But that was before all the injuries

But I'm here everyday and I admit I'm not always right. Just like you weren't about Reggie Jackson

No one bats .1000 except Meth

He hasn't shot well, but I think it's evident he may not work with the Monroe and Drummond combo. The spacing (or lack thereof) is too much to overcome.

Edit:

Reggie triple doubled shooting 23% in a loss to the Sixers with 5 turnovers. Detroit 2-11 with jackson including a 10 game losing streak, 5-3 before the trade.

Reggie Jackson posted arguably the worst triple-double of the season against the 76ers on Wednesday, scoring 11 points with 11 rebounds, 10 assists and one 3-pointer in 32 minutes.
He made 4-of-17 from the field, turned the ball over five times and made Ish Smith look really good tonight. Jackson had a 20-20 game on Tuesday and seems to be a bigger part of the offense with Greg Monroe out. Jackson has been a major letdown since he was shipped to Detroit and he'll look to put up a better game on Saturday against the Bulls

If I could envision Randle or Love playing minutes at the 3 or 5 for 10 minutes a game, I'd be fine with it... But neither can play a different position. It would be incredibly stupid to go after Kevin Love. He's not going to win us titles, he's a 2nd fiddle at best, 3rd fiddle more likely.

We're supposed to maximize assets. Randle at a 1/6 of the cost for Kevin Love? I go Randle.


Get Love, then what? Trade Randle? You'll get 50 cents on the dollar for him. It's not worth it.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

The kevin love talk is completely unfounded at this point. He fits in nowhere on this team with randle

You guys gotta admit, this year was much smoother than last year in terms of all of us and tanking. Last year was a daily brawl, this year we all pretty much knew it was comin and accepted it a little better. (Even if we didn't like it, we understood it)

Props to all of you. No joke.

Both teams played hard. :\

Do what, what I say?

 

[darthska]

Defend Reggie.

There's really no good reason.

 

[CP1708]

Eh, I don't really care about Reggie either way, but I don't trash him like some have.

Is he struggling? Sure. Does he need to play better? Absolutely.

Is his career over tho? No, not at all.


Been a lot of great players. Not many have a 20-20 and follow up with a triple double. He has talent. How he harnesses it, and uses it, and develops his weaknesses will show if he's worth anything or not.

If he was 27-28, maybe I wouldn't be as forgiving, but he does have time to work. Maybe Stan helps get him there during the off-season. We'll see.

So there may be someone available soon. Thibbs in Chicago, may very well be out the door after this season.

Bulls FO hates that he grinds his players to the ground. And that is valid. However, as I have pointed out a billion times with a particular coach, sometimes the FO hurts the coaches chances before he even gets a chance.

Bill Simmons ‏@BillSimmons 4m4 minutes ago
Bulls let Korver and Asik go for nothing, traded 2 top-20 firsts for McDermott and gave away Deng for nothing in-season. Just sayin'.

I am not a Thibbs guy, but he is a MAJOR upgrade over Byron Scott. If the Bulls cut him, Mitch better drop the ax figuratively and literally on Byron's neck.

 

[essential1]

Hoiberg... Hoiberg please quit Iowa State... You don't need this pain. Come have pain in the NBA.

 

[bravelude]

[CP1708]

Then I'll take Monty Williams. Still upgrade over Byron.

When are you gonna give this **** a rest?

 

[kingjaffejo]

Anyone of those coaches is better than what we have. I'll take any of em. Just get this bafoon of the sidelines. He's a detriment to not only us but himself. He's just a walking vessel of "old school" and the "Laker way"
Even tho I have never seen time go backward, have to evolve with the times. What the **** is a laker way?

 

[ValarMorghulis]

Dangelo Russell please make me forget these feels....

 

[willzway26]
