    Ok. Understandable.

    I would attribute our defensive issues to other things.

    Personnel? I think it's the general air surrounding the team. Drifting down from management.

    I very much agree with this. I was completely in favor of the concept.

    Rising Stars game is about to start, maybe Russ will play hard for a change, surrounded by more talent.

    People can't catch Russ's passes, it's frustrating as hell. He's made like 3-4 awesome passes that should have been assists and the recipients bobble them. Does he put spin on them players aren't anticipating, it's weird as hell how when he makes good passes guys can't convert no matter where he's playing.

    I hate to say this again...but I've been one of the few that has been saying that Russell really isn't that good. He's never going to be a superstar IMO or even an all star. The fact that he has barely improved (if it all) from last year to this year is very telling. Byron was definiltely toxic to our team and i still blame him for RUssell's lack of development....but Russell has literally taken games off this year and he generally looks disinterested when he's out there. I honestly hate watching him play sometimes because he just decides to play hard when HE wants to...not when the team needs him to.
