Reggie is the problem

[ImHeisenberg]

Duncan Smith don lost his mind, get that man a psychiatrist.

The only piece I don't like is Morris going out. All the Clippers trash is expiring, which is fine by me. Gain a little cap space for the summer to go an overpay a bench player or two.

[DBC10]

Well Duncan did say nobody was going to be happy with that trade. But the Clippers do it since they gain a legitimate sixth man if healthy and we get to get out of RJ's contract by getting back a decentish young guy that can probably be good sixth man.

But I firmly believe RJ isn't in the long term plans for this team. The past few games have been clear.

[In SVG We Trust]

Guys, did you know Doc Rivers is the Clippers' GM, right?

[Canadafan]

The dude is injured. Nobody will trade for him. All we can hope for is he magically heals and starts playing like last year's Reggie. I would shut him down till after the all star break for sure. Not sure why they keep trotting him out there when he's obviously not anywhere near 100%. Beno time!

[russkopp]

I agree, he's definitely injured and SVG, the guy who refuses to play Boban and takes Stanley out for the smallest mistake, will never bench him, shut him down for a week or two or trade him. Why? Cuz SVG would have to admit to himself that he has an $80 million dollar problem that he and bad luck caused.

Knee tendinitis really only can be fixed by surgery, so at minimum we're going to see him off the court for the next whatever months to recover in healing that ligament.

But even last year's RJ wasn't some spectacular savior that was elite at everything. He came alive in 4th quarters, great, but we got other players that can take that load now without him insisting to dominating the ball at near 30% usage rates. It's unnecessary.

Pretty sure surgery for tendinitis rarely happens. It's inflammation. And sometimes accompanies a tendon tear. More often than not, rest and rehabilitation fix the problem. Reggie's trying to play through the pain and has probably been informed that it won't do permanent damage.

To mitigate pain it's the best long term solution. He's already tried the PRP shots and that's basically seen as the last resort before surgery even if it has disputed medical benefits.

John Wall had tendinitis on both knees in 2015 and after surgery he came out as good as new. I feel as though as soon as he does this, the better.

Interesting, probably wasn't anything too crazy, but I wonder what they talked about. Pistons started the 3rd qtr on a 27 - 10 run.

Detroit Pistons coach Stan Van Gundy had a suggestion for the media after Monday night’s victory over the Philadelphia 76ers:

Ask point guard Reggie Jackson about a new halftime routine to better prepare for the second half.

Jackson was coy, but whatever it was, it helped in the Pistons’ 113-96 victory at the Palace, their sixth victory out of 10 games.

“That’s a secret, but it’s just a personal discussion between me and coach,” Jackson said. “Just something to try to get off to a better third quarter start. He felt that something needed to be changed within the team so he talked to me personally.”

Given it's kept secret for some reason it's something silly like showering and changing your underpants or something to pretend you're starting a new game.

Whatever works!

Yeah I remember Rondo used to shower completely after finishing the half. It's a weird ritual.

Or maybe it's something like "don't play like you normally play" so no one wants to say publicly that RJ doesn't fit

This doesn't sound like tendinitis. Honestly though what thehell do I know I'm not a Dr

Wall attended the Cleveland Cavaliers’ playoff win over the Atlanta Hawks at Quicken Loans Arena on Wednesday night before he had loose particles taken out of his right knee and calcium deposits removed from his left patella tendon by orthopedic surgeon Richard D. Parker at the Cleveland Clinic Marymount. The right knee procedure – known as an arthroscopic lavage – is considered routine and relatively minor, but the operation on the left knee would’ve sidelined Wall for months had he undergone it during the season.

Lol SVG told the reporters to ask Reggie about it. You think he'd want reporters to ask Reggie about how told him to "stop killing our team you dumb***" ?

It'd be pretty hilarious if that was the case tho cold blooded
