that Reggie Johnson is going to be giving us double doubles in the post season. Without that, we are going home early.

OK.. He'll steal passes and run the floor with a windmill dunk exclamation point. How's that?

In reality, if he's active game long blocking shots, getting rebounds and tip-ins on a consistent basis, I be thrilled.
 
Reggie Johnson is not the double double guy he once was. At this point, we need him to play average ball and stop hurting the team (bad rotations, turnovers, missing rebounds) like he's been doing for the better part of the last month.

I wouldn't say it is RJ we need but the production.

Besides the other guys (Larkin, Scott, TMJ and Kadji) doing their normal thing we will need 12 PTS and 15 Rebounds out of the Center Position (RJ, JG and Jekri).

Someone will have to create the low post presence and get those rebounds.

"Average" play from Reggie means early exit from tourney.

I hope Coach L brings him off the bench midway through the first half. Give him 5 minutes to evaluate his play. If he continues to look like he has for the past month, just end the experiment then and there. While I agree a contributing RJ makes this team better, it's simply not worth the risk of having him sink the team. I appreciate everything RJ has done for this team in his career, however, continuing to give him PT while he takes the entire team out of their flow, isnt fair to anyone.

We lost by 3 at Duke and he gave us nothing. You can't make a run to the final four without him, but you can certainly get to the sweet 16. Same with Rion Brown. He plays soft and can't make a shot, we can still get to the sweet 16. We need him to make a deep run.
