    I wasn't able to watch the first three quarters, but my understanding is he was not good.

    That's oversimplified thinking. If they're going under screens, he absolutely has to score.

    It was not a good game, he was playing like he didn't care. It was not like the Knicks game at all where he was running the offense, he wasn't really doing much of anything other than a few nice passes.

    Always two steps forward and one step back with him this season.

    I'll extend it to our other young guys too, a couple really good games and then a couple bad games. Just want them to string together a handful of good games, and then all of them good together.

    He's trolling.

    In other news, I'm ready to trade Russ. This game has convinced me: he's unfit to hold Tierre Brown's jock.

    hardly, thats the rationale you guys gave me so I'm gona go with that if/when he has these low scoring gms. You just have that logic cause you think I dont like him when I ask is he can do a little more scoring but seems like the general theme here is he needs to run the O so scoring isn't a priority

    So frustrating...2-3 good games and back to garbage mode for the last couple.

    If thats his pattern, he needs to be shipped out. We don't need players that only play when they feel like it.

    i don't frequently agree with khmer, but 6 total shots in two games says there's something going on behind the scenes. like someone said to stop looking for his shot, and he obliged petulantly.
