Game 5: Pistons (2-2) vs. Timberwolves (2-2) - 7 PM EST

RJ should get shots. He's a scoring pg. He's been doing a better job of making quicker decisions and not forcing things this year. I'm 100% fine with him have the ball in his hands as the shot clock winds down. What I'm not fine with is for RJ to be the REASON the shot clock is winding down.

No need for rj to exclusively have the ball in his hands as clock winds down. At this point th is much more efficient. Would much prefer to let the game come to Reggie. At least until his efficiency inproves

Agree as long as he has the mindset Harris is the #1 option on this team when on the floor. Obviously mix it up and get his but hero ball isn't welcome anymore which he has cut down on.

Running some pick and rolls doesn't bog the offense down. Dribbling for 10 seconds and then waiving Dre up for a pick bogs the offense down. If you want more ball movement etc you need to get into the play quick enough to allow that to develop.

Agreed, the main issue is that they are just too slow to set it up.
I think we should start out the possession with Dre already coming up to set the pick for Reggie, see if there is anything there, if not, then kick it out & run some other sets. No need to try it multiple times during one shot clock.
