NON-JAZZ NBA PLAYOFF thread

Reggie Jackson is going to getting PAID this off-season.

 

[Avery]

Reminds me of our G5 where every time we got close, Clips would put together a quick 8-0 run in two minutes and push it back up.

He’s on a minimum contract too. Batum and Craig are making huge contributions too. These guys on the fringes ****ing matter.

How was this game not called already? I mean small could never work against the suns. Their perimeter defenders are too good and they will just dump the ball down to Ayton and he will dunk all over the smaller defenders or just get all the offensive rebounds.

Cam Payne and now Reggie Jackson. What's going on here? Thought the end of bench scrubs don't matter in playoffs?

Yep especially Torrey Craig
His 10 minutes per game and 3 points and 2 rebounds have made lots of difference in this series.

You think cam payne and Reggie Jackson are end of the bench scrubs?
They sure play a ton of minutes for end of the bench guys.

Payne played like 12min tonight. He only gets a decent run when CP3 is hurt but of course it's just an anomaly cuz your starting point guard would never get hurt during playoffs, right?

Jackson is now the sixth man on the Clippers team but that certainly wasn't the plan when the Clippers picked him up off of waiver last year when Detroit cut him. In fact salary wise he's currently their 11th highest paid player. He's receiving more minutes now and therefore pushed Beverley and Rondo further down in the selection chart only because he's played well enough to cement his spot in the rotation. If guys like Oni or Thomas played well enough, they could've challenged Royce or Niang's spot as well.

Dude it’s not always all about stats. You use the same argument for Tucker. Even Jackson and Van Gundy are raving about Craig’s energy.

It’s obviously working and even more of a reason why we need to look at some small ball options this off-season.

Staying on the floor is a skill in itself. Just look at Niang and Oni, both struggled to stay on the floor versus the clipper.

Having Craig instead of both of those guys sure would have been nice. Niang literally gave the game away one game against the Clippers. Gave them like a 10-0 run by himself.
