The only way it is tolerable is if they win a championship

I guess it is legit? There is a very noticeable difference in the muscles in that leg. For a guy his size its no wonder that knee blows up.

 

[WiggyRuss]

awesome to go into Golden State and hold them to 38 points in the first half and put them down on their home court.

Russ is quietly playing some ball

Is he though?

He has been scoring efficiently over the last few games.

But…

He is shooting 43% from the field, 31% from 3 and 61% from the line.

He can’t play without the ball and every possession he uses is one that Murray and Jokic don’t.

The W/L record with Russ starting is a fluke. He is getting way too much playing time right now.

Wild that Russ forgot how to shoot free throws

This is hate.

Look at his splits as starter and get back to me

 

[flyerhawk]

What is he 9-10?

He is 93.2% from stripe for the SEASON. Granted he's only played 11 games. But 93% on 8 FTA a game is pretty insane.

 

[flyerhawk]

Remarkable to see him claim this while Philly had what? 3 number 1s? Lol.

Philly only had 1 Number pick in the past 10 years. But your point still stands. Still conspiracy theories involving the league being in the tank for Oklahoma City and San Antonio should be laughed at.

2016 and 2017?

3rd in 14 and 15?

Detroit has never had that string of luck.

they traded up for Number 1 in 2017. That was the infamous trade with the Celtics where the Sixers moved up to draft Fultz and the Celtics drafted Tatum.

When you have the worst record in the league, you are going to have a top 3 pick almost every time. They did change the rules to make it less likely that the worst team gets the top pick. Went from something like 30% to 15%.

It really isn’t.

Look at his advanced stats and get back to me

Too small a sample.

He had a couple of his best shooting games as a starter. This will end and it won’t be good.

He’s not the permanent starter. He is only starting due to Gordon and Murray recent injuries. I can’t see them ever benching Braun in favor of Russ when Gordon is back

 

[thunderc]

The numbers are the numbers. As a starter:

14.3 pts, 5.7 rebounds, 8.4 assists, 2.6 st, 52.1 % fg. Here’s the most important, they are 6-1. He’s not all of the sudden going to turn into a real efficient player, that’s not happening. But it’s good to see the most athletic player ever in a league of athletes turn back the clock a little.

Yep as i said tlance comment was hate. He is getting the job done when starting WITH Joke and Murray

I don’t really think it was hate, we all know what Russ is. Obviously playing more with Jokic on the floor is going to help anyone. But Russ gets some credit here.

They only got one. Embiid was 3rd pick and jerry colangelos 3rd testicle traded up to 1 another time.

It was though. “he is getting way too much playing time”

Yes because they’re winning with him getting these minutes. Who should they give minutes to? Strawther

 

[bksballer89]

Denver is not a deep team at all. I’m never letting strawther take some of Russ minutes
