    Mild mannered family man and a middle school basketball coach by day, supervillain by night. Nothing wrong with that.

    How well did he play Friday night? Missed the game.


    NGL I've been very critical of Russ this season, more so than I usually was throughout his whole career.

    He's been getting more comfortable and hopefully he stops making bonehead plays.

    Westbrook - MIN 36 PTS 24 REB 3 AST 11 FG% .563 3PT% .25%
    Schroder --- MIN 32 PTS 10 REB 5 AST 1 FG% .167 3PT% .0%

    Call it what you want, Dennis knew damn well who he was playing tonight, big opportunity for him to show every GM how wrong we were not to give him his money.

    Time to take those question marks off the thread title. Russ has been great for a lot of games now and tonight he almost single handedly destroyed the C Bags in the third quarter. That was beautiful.

    Yeah when he devotes as much energy to his man to man as he does to destroying people getting to and scoring at the rim …. he looks I would imagine like the bulldog people have said he was 2 years ago (?) in OKC.

    i mean, his point is fine and accurate, but the reporter is also correct that russ could simply say, right now, as a primary source, that this did not happen. to me, the more effective way to handle it would be "no. i didn't call him. i wish you guys would care more about the accuracy of your reporting."

    If we can get this version of Russ every game, we may have a chance of turning this thing around.
    We need consistent effort on D from everyone, every game.

    The biggest thing for this team to figure out is how Russ and Lebron can integrate and get the max from each of them. They are starting to get it, but the experiment is not finished yet. The potential is there for them to be great.
