    Yeah we're all hoping for Russell to succeed, and it's OK to be critical of his play.

    I think he is doing fine (minus the TO and shooting). Shooting has been picking up, though.

    I think he is developing just fine.

    I think fans are more accepting because

    a) We're winning.
    b) We're winning.
    c) There is more of a rhyme and reason to it. I can't remember how many times Russell (or anyone not named Kobe or Lou) got yanked when they were actually playing well. Substitutions and minutes were very inconsistent. It's not the same with Luke. I could elaborate but I think you know what I'm getting at.
    d) We were tanking anyway so it didn't make much sense to me not to play the young guys as many minutes as possible.
    e) See a) and/or b).

    Damn right. Lol. He got more aggressive in the third quarter, and I thought he did a relatively good job running the offense.

    Good shooting game by Russ and he cut way down on his turnovers.

    When Deng will make the open shot Russell might have 2 or 3 more assists a game.

    D'angelo must be a twin. The Chris Paul state farm ad come to life. And the D'Angelo's are time sharing the one contract. One player is the ruthless ice in his veins assassin. The other is a permanently hungover (even sans booze) neer do well who can con anybody into anything including a sports science production crew into thinking he is pete maravich. It is the bad seed that was responsible for the Swaggy video and the deng contract.

    It's like that film basketcase all over again.

    All jokes aside, something is up. I don't understand.

    I think this has NEVER been more appropriate:

    We were already down big with the momentum going the wrong way but what in the world was that behind the back cuteness with Randle there.

    He's starting to concern me.

    Look, ah, I hate to be the grammar nazi of the group here but, is there some reason the title of this thread is titled negatively or incorrectly spelled?
