    I'm happy he is back. Hopefully he can give the team an impulse.

    And yet, even with him being half-bad, our offense looked much better, IMO.

    Easily one of the worst games I've seen him play, but the team did look better overall with him and Nick back. The rust showed in his shot and he had some bad turnovers even for him. Gonna just scrap this one from memory and move on to the next game.

    He made some unnecessary turnovers on critical possessions whether we had a chance to take or extend a lead.

    Yes, there will be a little bit of a rust coming back, but he needs to settle down in that area if anything.

    Chalk it up to rust, sure, but bad turnovers has been part of his game all season.

    He made some horrific turnovers yesterday. I wish I could just write it off as rust but he's been horrible at protecting the basketball all season. I hope he improves.

    I can live with the missed shots because of him getting the rust off, but the defense and poor decisions which led to the 3 turnovers in the first 10 minutes of the 3rd quarter can't happen.

    His shot is back...but he keeps producing horrible TOs.

    He is TO prone and has yet to prove that he is not.

    6-10... Encouraging. I'll give him until next year to start being more disciplined with the ball. It's his first year in the system and coming back from injury. Make us proud boy, we need you out there.

    Much better effort from him last night, but yeah, he's still got a ways to go. Glad his poor shooting didn't carry over.

    Russell might not be close to the best player in the NBA...but when it comes to talking, he is second to none.
