right--isn't that the whole point of the russ experiment? i wonder if they sat him because if he played, he starts, and if he starts and we win, we'll never hear the end of it from him.
russ is definitely still capable of leading a team to an improbable victory. the problem is he's even more capable of leading a team to an improbable defeat, as we've seen, like, 4 times already this year.
i think they're actually deliberating about the best course of action, which is why i'm pessimistic. it means surgery is on the table, imo. if it were just rest and rehab for sure, we'd already know, just wouldn't have a timetable.
feel like ankles and hand/finger injuries have to be the most common types every year. i know when i played, i was basically nursing one or the other, like, 60% of the time.
Watching our Lakers get blitzed by 20 to a Kings team with a bunch of B list stars and plenty of depth. Imagine that Rob and LeGM.
It’s a hard lesson to learn in team management, basically tanked his career title chances by trading for Brick
it's pretty clear now, even for the most optimists, either we make a trade now for 2-3 good rotation players or we're not going to be in the playoff picture.
The only reason I haven’t said that’s a wrap yet is because GS has also been terrible and because the play-in exists. But, we’re on the brink of it being a wrap. FO doesn’t seem to care much though, as they sit around drooling over oft-injured, overpaid “stars” rather than addressing our need for depth.
