Reggie Jackson’s quest for the coveted “20 PPG scoring average” nudges closer and closer to its goal. 27 is not as good as the 29 that he scored in his previous game against the Jazz, but it’s still far enough above twenty that he made some appreciable progress towards the mythical scoring mark. However, he could have had it by now had he not scored eleven and eight points respectively in the two games before that. One has to question his dedication to this task.
I asked Pistons commentator George Blaha what he thinks Reggie needs to do on the court to hit twenty per game. Key phrases included, “long guns”, “floating guns”, “triple tries”, “firing it up and filling it up”, and “dynamite dunks”. So there you have it.
