16/54 shooting for people not named Jokic or Gordon.
That was our "Get out of Jail free card".
How do you solve a problem like Reggie Jackson?

I really think he's going to be the reason the Nuggets don't repeat. He's just as bad a decision maker as you'll find in the NBA as a vet. The Nuggets don't have another option though. They're fucked. Jamal is going to have to have a repeat playoff year. If RJ is the reason we don’t repeat, then the real failure is Booth’s That contract he gave Reggie was inexcusable. He bet that Reggie - who was washed even as a mid-season acquisition last year - would be good enough to play backup to Jamal throughout the season and playoffs. That has backfired painfully. |

if Jamal is healthy, he'll have a repeat playoff performance. Bubble/Playoff/Finals Jamal is really, really good.
Nuggets are 40-14 with Jamal and 13-9 without. Title favorites, regardless of homecourt.

Justin Holiday made some big plays tonight. Finished with 5/3/1/1/2 with 0 TO, 0 fouls, +9
6 boards for Watson, we need that every night from him
7 assists off the bench for CB

Reggie is seriously stupid for challenging Wemby. un. believ. able. I really think he's going to be the reason the Nuggets don't repeat. He's just as bad a decision maker as you'll find in the NBA as a vet. The Nuggets don't have another option though. They're fucked. Jamal is going to have to have a repeat playoff year. If Jamal plays 38-40 minutes at PG in the playoffs, that leaves 8-10 minutes for someone else. Why not give those 8-10 minutes to Pickett/Strawther/Braun? It seems Malone is in love with Reggie, tho; for some bizarre reason. |

For whatever reason he said that Reggie is a lock for PO's. |

Reggie isn't a horrible player. He plays defense as well as he can and is a rare Nuggets creator. What he doesn't do is fit. Nuggets basketball is all about passing and cutting and sharing. Reggie doesn't do these things naturally.

I don't think Reggie is going to be that big of an issue if he's only playing 8-10 mpg. He looks much worse than he is right now due to his minute load. Dudes old.
The thing that bothers me about him is he's just a bad decision maker. He has been good in the playoffs before at least. At the end of the day the Nuggets have to find 3 bench guys to not be a disaster in each series.

I see that costing us games, and potentially the championship. |

He bet that Reggie - who was washed even as a mid-season acquisition last year - would be good enough to play backup to Jamal throughout the season and playoffs. That has backfired painfully. Reggie is definitely the winner of the annual Nuggets’ Talk “Jeff Green Bench Player Scapegoat Award” for the bench player that the most posters believe should lose all of their minutes in favor of some other deep bench guy(s) if not for the fact that Malone is an idiot and that the award winning player is extorting Malone into playing him through possession of embarrassing photos. Maybe we could have used that “inexcusably big” backup PG contract slot on Kendrick Nunn (who is now playing in Greece) or Derrick Rose (played 399 minutes all season) or Cory Joseph (shooting 36/31/57 this season) or Ish Smith and let one of those guys be the clubhouse leader for the “Jeff Green Award.” I watched the game from the 3rd level and had a limited angle but I thought most of Reggie’s shots last night were decent shots and guys like KCP and Porter were not hot from the outside so that enabled the Spurs to sag defensively and make it difficult for the Nuggets to generate shots that wouldn’t be blocked by Wemby. Jackson has a 3:1 A/To ratio this season and he’s 3rd on the roster in assists per 36 and he’s played >1600 minutes, the 6th most in his career, but sure his contract is insane and there was a dozen better veteran backup PGs who wanted that $5 mil/year deal. |

Reggie provided a lot of value for us in the first half of the season. People are quick to forget that.
I fully believe he'll give us 8-12 minutes of reasonably decent basketball per game in the playoffs.

Many on this forum turn on a dime in their criticism. Boring old-timers like me are painfully, glacially consistent. My opinions take years...sometimes decades...to make, so they aren't changing based upon a good or bad game.

my opinion on Reggie Jackson has never changed, I never liked his game and never thought his style of basketball was conducive to winning basketball, even though he enjoyed a fluke run or two with the Clippers M*A*S*H squad. I always recoiled over the years when Nugget fans would routinely suggest he was the answer to our problems. and now that he has entered his washed state, the negatives are overwhelming the positives he ostensibly brings to the table.

I think Reggie could be a valuable bench piece if he was an off the ball player (need more height obviously). The issue is he's small, he's a terrible decision maker and he's not a good defender. I'm sure he'll have a big game or two in the playoffs. But he's also going to drive us nuts too. We basically need him to be Jeff Green where you're bad for most of the game but then make 1 huge play late. |

Reggie may have a good game or 2 but he doesn't fit on this team. He can't pass the ball to Jokic and he's the only player that makes Jokic looks worse on the court. That alone is enough for him to be removed from rotation. If Malone wants him to play, let him play without Jokic. Don't kill Jokic's minutes with him

Reggie/Braun/Watson on the floor together have a -6.73 Netrtg
that trio + Murray is -3.32 Netrtg.
Reggie + the starters is +4.81. survivable, but he's still tanking their effectiveness.
there's no good option. he's a bad basketball player.
