Why would they disrupt this? Russ would be better as a 6th man with the bench unit.

The one time all year the Clips didn’t look like trash was the 2-game stretch two weeks ago, immediately after they cut the fat (Reggie, Wall, Luke), got a 2nd big (Plum), and allowed Mann to be the definitive point guard.

They had a closing lineup of
IZ/KL/PG/EG (or NP)/ TM

Basically no Morris Sr, and shooting guard by committee (Gordon/Powell)

It clearly worked… but now they’re right back to the drawing board of too many cooks and undefined roles.

Because he can always go back to it when needed in the playoffs.

Lue just wants the team to be as flexible as possible and Russ brings a different dimension to the Clippers attack.

What he may lack in scheming, he makes up with lineup flexibility and unpredictability.

He's def a few steps above Doc.

Thr warriors have another easy path to the finals. Its disheartening, sad and funny as fukk at the same time.

They will be the 6 and beat sacramento in 5. Then play those bum ass grizz and beat them in 6 again and play them bum ass nuggets and beat them in 6. Clippers are gonna beat the suns and lose to bum ass denver. .smh
You'll be alright

The so called "depth" has been fools gold and its been too many players that demand minutes or the fans deem should have guaranteed minutes. Lue has been in a confused haze trying to figure out rotations and lineups all season long with our without Kawhi. No slight on Russ but we seemed to have a rotation down after adding Bones, EJ, and Plumlee now with Russ we're back to square one and on a three game losing streak. Not to mention we're extremely washed at the PF position with Morris and Batum. Its not looking good for these dudes. Damn shame when the west is wide open this year
You guys have Covington rooting on the bench. Don’t get why he doesn’t play
