This team will either figure out how to make some noise or it’s f***ed for the next five years. I really don’t have any prediction for which one it is.

Boy, there really is something to this, "Absence makes the heart grow fonder" saying.

Hate the man all you want, but this team clearly misses him. I'm too lazy to bring up the numbers but I'm thinking our record was much stronger with Reggie playing.

Do yourself a favor and watch the game he got injured in (as an example), he was doing exactly what we asked of him.

Cool though bro, you stick with Ish and Jameer- I'll take Reggie Jackson every day.

Remind me, what happened when RJ finally came back last year? Was the season saved?

I'll wait.

I'm not hating on RJ here. I'm just being realistic. His return isn't going to make a significant difference to this mess.


Pretty sure there was no word about our season being saved by Reggie, simply said shut him down in order to boost the tank and get a pick within 1-4.

My point was that we'd be more likely to lose games without him, as our record since he's been out categorically proves.

No way Blake stands for a tank with his pride and clippers competitive for a playoff spot

Don’t know why i forced myself to watch that entire painful game. I’m definitely losing faith in SVG but to be fair we have no viable starting point guard, this team has barely practiced together and it will take time to develop chemistry with this new group and to adjust again with the return of Reggie. Floor spacing and ball movement just died the last three games. Their body language on defense is embarrassing. Seems like we were more fluid when SVG just let them play. Hoping the break will give them a chance to regroup. I’m sick about losing our pick if our trajectory is down to the 6th pick range. Hoping we can make it less valuable and not just outright lose the trade.

To be fair Stan is the GM and the Coach and we knew Reggie would be out 10 weeks when the diagnosis happened. Stan thought it was a-ok to run with Ish Smith and Buycks for seven weeks and then Ish Smith and Jameer Nelson for three+ weeks.

At least Stan wasn't able to sell Drummond for a mid 1st round pick last summer and I'd have to believe the next desperate team would take Blake off our hands if it came to that.

Judging by what I saw, I'm leaning more towards being F'd the next half-decade.
