Statistically you can say Russell is performing better than Mudlay. :yeshrug: Not much to pine over at least at the moment.

I wouldn't say hes performing better than mudiay but Mudiay is not playing miles ahead of Russell like everyone says. I also think mudiay is closer to his ceiling than russell

Well you shouldn't say he's performing better, because he's NOT performing better.

And considering that Mudiay is the better raw talent.... with far more athletic potential AND he's racking up assists and seeing passing lanes much better than expected. I'd say he's not at all close to his ceiling.

Russell was supposed to be the NBA-ready talent. Why are people suddenly pretending otherwise?

Anybody else think the Warriors can get close to the 96 bulls regular season record?
I think the '09 Celtics were 28-2 by Christmas...then they lost an intense Finals atmosphere X-Mas game to the Lakers, and followed it up the next night with an unexpected flat footed 4th qtr L to the Warriors (BDiddy, Cap Jax), in which they were prob a bit emotional drained. After that, they kinda came back to earth plus had to deal with injuries (KG).

So as good as the Warriors are looking now, season is too much of a marathon with letdowns and injuries to make much about 7 games. We've seen teams go on big winning streaks (leading to 70 win hype) only to take that first L and become a bit deflated with some concurrent Ls afterwards.

I thought Memphis would be the perfect place for him to be consistent. A mix of him not playing up to his ability and forcing his will, shytty coaching and no spacing has put that to bed.
He was dropping like 18 a game in Boston. Memphis is an offensive grave yard. They should trade him to team that plays with a quicker pace.

He's just not that good, man. Was always surprised by your love for him and bum ass Evan Turner.

he was the no.1 option on one of the worst teams in the league, playing at one of the fastest paces in the league. Those numbers are inflated.

He's a backup PF. A 9th man on contending team at best. He's not a good basketball player.
