    20 years compared to 15, no duh. Westbrook has the higher TO ratio. Turnovers are one of Westbrook's many problems. Not his only problem. How about .438 to Lebron's .504 FG% not to mention it seems most other stars don't want to play with Russ.

    This is why Cap is the GOAT. Took care of the ball and highly efficient.

    He's been very good in his bench role.

    He's been one of the real highlights these hand full of games.

    Still some issues, but they have been curtailed. His shooting has improved, too.

    didn't see the game, but he was -23 in 22 minutes and was pulled for bad defense?

    i agree, though, the bench role has been the answer with him. we wasted a full year not even attempting that, too, which is super frustrating.

    Last year he wouldn't have done it. He had zero respect for Vogel.

    Yeah. I do feel like his relationship with Ham is better.

    eh, that's on russ and management, too, though. vogel didn't have respect of management, thus russ didn't have to worry about his decisions.

    many of us wanted russ on the bench last year, and i think reports were that vogel did.

    Oh I agree. I didn't think management did Vogel any favors and the team knew he was a sitting duck IMO.

    Was Russ pulled for bad defense? I assumed it was foul trouble cause he ended up with 5.

    I usually see him and MJ and 1A and 1B. I have no issues going either way. Both big time performers and winners.

    I'll never have leBrone ahead of either.

    It would be stupid to single him out for that when the entire team was getting lit up.

    They wanted Frank gone..something was going on behind the scenes. Dragging their feet on an extension for a guy that just won a chip, was a pretty big clue in that regard.

    Played well, still shouldn’t be closing games. He’s a poor decision maker, they doubled AD to close and he didn’t know what to do. Shame is we have no one to replace him there, LeBron our, and Schröder is just as bad a decision maker.

    Cost is a lead to end the half, hit a clutch 3, followed by a brick off the glass...

    Typical Russ game.

    I say we extend him!!!
