Jackson rolled his ankle badly in the last game. Pretty sure he will be out .

Close but rough game to watch. Might take a game or two to find a new rhythm without Reggie. Ish Smith could really flourish with more minutes.
 
Too many people trying to create their own shot when Ish Smith wasn't on the floor. They looked bad.

The team is still perilously thin on players that can create shots for themselves or others. Our whole system requires someone to penetrate or draw the defense before the rest can find the right opening. That's why Jackson is so valuable, even though he isn't truly elite in any facet. Obviously we're not the only team with this problem (just watch a Wizard's game when Wall sits), but it makes our margin for error razor thin.

I think they absolutely have to leave Drummond on the floor when Ish sits. Lots of offensive rebound chances because of all the missed shots. They sat at the same time, would like to see them staggered a bit.
