I feel bad for Stan van Gundy.

He wanted to win so badly.
Great coach.

Its not entirely reggie shmurda fault., Kyrie can drop 40 on any PG if hes really feelin it.
People forget how talented that dude is cause he had a down year.

Kyrie has ungodly talent, my only issues with him are durability and lack of vision. Once he decided he wants to score, what his teammates are doing becomes irrelevant (and I means this play by play as well as throughout the course of the game), not a quality you want at the 1.

I just don't understand why Stan is doing this to himself again...he already went through this shyt with Jameer Nelson (natural scoring guard trying to run point, good-not-great player) and IMO Reggie isn't even as good as Jameer in his prime. Only thing I can think of is he wanted to accelerate the rebuild and didn't want to draft and develop a PG. I just feel like the shyt is a mistake...Reggie isn't a point and frankly on a team with playoff aspirations he's not a starter. He can get you buckets but he's too weak defensively and his feel for the game is atrocious...those type of players come off the bench.

#facts
Jameer wasnt a knucklehead............pistons had a chance in game 1, that was the game to steal to even make the series somewhat competitive but reggie just went all reggie

hes got talent but he has low bball iq and defensive liability

man.. reggie did a GOOD job.. they basically played the hardest defense on him and Drummond..

cavs just did all the right moves despite having match up problems with these guys...

drummond was suppose to live in the paint.... i think u give these guys a good starting SG with a good back up one they are a treat..

That's the problem today...if you got handles and can get some buckets they wanna stick you in the PG spot.

The Cavs are good for now because they have Lebron doing most of the PG duties. But as he gets older it's gonna come back and bite them in the ass if Kyrie don't embrace his role better.

Am I the only one who enjoys watching Reggie play? That crossover + dunk combo he pulls at times :banderas:

Reggie was terrible when it mattered which was closing time.

The time that they needed him the most.

*Be a 6'3 PG and be one of the worst defensive players in the league regardless of position brehs.

*Take absolutely no pride in playing defense yet consider yourself a top tier player in the league brehs.

*Go home after being swept, look in your bathroom mirror and realize your counterpart averaged damn near 30 points effortlessly on your bum ass for 4 straight games brehs.

Seeing Reggie Jackson exposed this series was some of the most potent, powerful ether I've ever seen :wow:

They both had a good series and neither play defense worth a damn.

But I'm glad LeBron got the fukk outta the way and let my man cook...

Especially after that silly ass spin move he tried to do. :scust:

closing games IS the hardest thing to do..

adrenaline of losing puts the weight of the world on you..

but he line drives were incredible.

His over dribbling and decision making killed any chance of them stealing a game.


I like what Kenny Smith said about him. He got on the big stage and pretty much did a good job until it mattered most. He'll learn from it. I hate to agree with Charles Barkley but he was right about them needing to shore up that bench.

i know. i pointed and laughed...

but i disagree with people saying he is a scrub.. he is to me the definition of a 50 mil/5 years player.. put him on that heat team and he wouldn't have gotten punked like chalmers in 2014

and the detroit team is also to blame.. i didnt see them communicate... heck.. i heard johnson criticize the cavs for communicating too much

You can day way worse in this league than having Reggie Jackson as your point guard...

Dude outright won games for the pistons down the stretch this year...meanwhile the chances of you winning the lottery and Drummond making a free throw are around the same...
