I don’t love the Westbrook addition.

Id rather they have given those minutes to Gordon, Mann and Powell.

But, I think that post was more about the messenger.

For whatever reason, @DJ hates you…lol

DJ has issues.

Yea 3-5 is ok but just avoid the 7+

Yeah no more quadruple doubles

2.1 assist to turnover ratio.

Lebron is 2.2.

So is Luka and Dame.

Giddey, whom I love, is 2.1.

Guy can be a minus.

No need to try to make it seem worse.

Yeah, Magic had a lot of turnovers, pretty sure Nash and Kidd did too. It's going to happen when you have the ball in your hands a lot.

Russ looks worse because of the type and timing of his.

It's one thing to turn the ball over trying to squeeze a pass into a tight spot...it's another to just inexplicably lose control of your dribble or throw a ball out of bounds.

Then, when you do it in the 4th quarter of a close game...

@tlance I appreciate NBA refs slightly more watching March Madness

Things that I expect fouls for are no calls here. Looking at my tv confused why a foul wasn't called

That and the missed layups are so, so CRINGE.

Yep. This Tenn Duke game has been very physical.

Yeah, a missed layup is essentially a turnover, imo. And for some reason, they almost always result in the other team scoring.

The refs every play with lots of contact

Russ definitely doesn’t want them counted that way

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

The Vols have quite the international team.

Uruguay, Finland, Serbia.

Dagger Dunk.
Bye Bye, Dookies.

Just had a bad Russ sighting.

Lmao. I love how you're all talking about how Russ has been good and then he immediately shows you why he's been on 4 teams in 6 years. It's like he cosmically knew y'all were spreading good vibes and nope, he can't have that. Russ gotta Russ. I don't know how many times over how many years I gotta keep telling yall. He's not a winning basketball player. He does not help you win. He's either neutral while putting up numbers (like the games the Clips have been winning is more because Kawhi/PG are actually healthy and playing together for once) or he's a negative, where he either has atrocious efficiencies or he'll do something at a critical point the game that just kills you. Stuff that won't show up on the stat sheet like completely reckless gambles for steals, wild missed layups or airballs that lead to easy buckets the other way. It's always something. He will absolutely let you down the moment you invest too much in him.

Clips can still win this year with him though. Like I said earlier, their main deal is they need Kawhi and PG out there at all times healthy. Keep Russ under 20 mins a game and nowhere near finishing games with Kawhi/PG playing near 40 in the playoffs and they can get to the Finals (especially so if they play bigger line ups with Zubac or Plumlee, and not go small with Morris and Russ)

Also, I keep telling people, Magic are feisty. Since January, they've been a decent team. Not good, but not bad either. They can absolutely beat you if you take them lightly.

Lakers better hope Orlando celebrates this win super hard in LA tonight so that b2b tomorrow is rough.
