Oh I agree, I’ve seen most of the Pistons games in which Blake has played the past few seasons & I knew then he wasn’t the best nor smartest.. I just think the lack of on court chemistry mainly due to Pat, Lou & trez being out for significant time during the bubble affected the entire team.. Add docs terrible decision making & we got exactly what we saw, a complete disaster

For what it’s worth, Rondo saved the lakers.. Let bron rest throughout the playoffs on both ends.. Consequently, you saw how much Miami was affected once they lost Goran.. Herro for as good as he played at times was pretty bad all around in the finals which made Jimmy have to carry the entire load

Definitely can’t blame the lack of playmaking solely on Reggie. It was bad when he was out of the rotation.

But I think that the best teams have collections of players who are good decision-makers without really having glaring weak points. Miami and the Lakers may not have been stocked with tons of dynamic off-the-dribble creators, but had a lot of guys who didn’t make mistakes. Reggie is a guy who makes a lot of mistakes.

I also wouldn’t mind having Reggie back. Sure he wasn’t great in the playoffs, but neither were a lot guys on the Clippers. I feel like the bad overall play highlighted bad Reggie. Sure you wish you can have an elite ballhandler and defender for this position, but I’ll wait for someone to tell me who that is and how we get him before I say we shouldn’t bring back Reggie.

Decision making aside, can’t defend him there, it’s kinda hard to pin the lack of play making solely on him since there was no off ball movement or system in place.. This team was poorly coached & your 3 core “leaders” & holdovers from the past 2 seasons were bad to horrible, which didn’t help anyone! I was one who wanted him to get playing time, along with Pat Pat, in games 6 & 7 since they could at least shoot.. You can talk about their bad defense all day but bad offense constantly led to easy buckets on the other end all playoffs.. More so, in games 6 & 7 when you saw Kawhi slowing down due to fatigue or the wear & tear of playing every other day

That said, would I like to see him back? I really can’t say as of this moment til we know who the coach is & what happens with Lou & Pat (whom I’d like to stay).. I’m def not on the fuck Reggie Jackson camp though

Please no, Ballmer. I’m gonna call this one a win for Mike Brown’s agent/PR team, and hope this isn’t reflective of the FO’s actual thinking.

Reggie, catch and shoot threes, 19-20 RS: 36-85, 42%
Reggie, catch and shoot threes, 18-19 RS: 128-323, 39.6%
Reggie, catch and shoot threes, 17-18 RS: 27-82, 32.9%

Reggie, total over last 3 seasons: 191-490, 39%

Lou, catch and shoot threes, 19-20 RS: 56-137, 40.9%
Lou, catch and shoot threes, 18-19 RS: 43-117, 36.8%
Lou, catch and shoot threes, 17-18 RS: 89-223, 39.9%

Lou, total over last 3 seasons: 188-477, 39.4%

Reggie is a good spot up shooter but he and Lou are pretty equal in spot-up efficiency. But, fwiw, Reggie does attempt catch and shoot threes at a much higher rate than Lou. My guess is that if Lou didn’t have the ball in his hands almost the entire time he was on the floor, he’d get more of those looks.

Think he’s a better spot up shooter than Lou. That talent comes in handy. Can he improve his decision making and be a better all around player? Only if he wants to and I don’t have have that answer.

Pretty much yeah. The fastbreak decisions were particularly egregious, but he also just didn’t demonstrate strong playmaking ability in the halfcourt either.

Essentially, I don’t trust him to run an offense at all. He’s really more of a Lou Williams type of player than a pure point – but a worse scorer and passer. That makes him pretty redundant.

Early during his tenure, he was making some fantastic drives and finishing. But as the bubble and playoffs wore on, he was taking 1-on-2 fast breaks or driving into good defenders and wasting offensive opportunities. Is that what you mean by poor offensive decision making?
