He played the game the same way. When he's coming off screens and hitting those midrangers and floaters and he's 7-9, it's Reggie's on fire. When he's taking the same shots but is 2-9, he's getting torn to shreds on here.
Yeah when you're a one way offensive player playing like crap on offense, he damn well should get torn to shreds on here.
So for clarity's sake, did he have a good offensive game against Cleveland?
Individually? Yes
Reggie is not some clear cut offensive star or leader of this team that the rest of the guys on this team are willing to just sit back and watch dribble out the possession, look to make his own shot and make poor decisions...especially not after the start of the year we have had.
The problem becomes not about his individual statline, but the way the rest of our guys respond, i just don't think it is a sustainable brand of basketball for this group of guys.
When playing the right way we have 5-6 guys who can realistically give you 15+ a night with any one or two of them giving 25+ on any given night (depending on matchups and who has it going). I like playing that way, rather than rolling the dice every night on which RJ we are going to get.
