Unfortunately for Russ, Lue has finally figured it out........Don't play Russ for the last 16 minutes of the game......This is the 2nd straight game where Russ has sat for the last 16 minutes.

How long before Russ starts pouting?..........Will Russ leave the team?

Kawhi was upset with Russ last game (Turnovers)

The foreseeable problem is their 6th man of the year candidate (Powell) will eventually recover from his injury and will need his spot in the rotation back... which means this 20/20/20 mpg split between Mann, Gordon, and Russ ain't going to last...

Russ mann and Gordon all been part of positive lineups last 2 games, who cares who ends. Lue doesn't pay attention to the game anyway.
But it does matter...If Russ was ending the games people would say..."Russ should not be ending the games"

The other guys gotta get minutes somehow.

Russ will finish games when they need him to, i.e. when the Clippers are down points midway through the 4th.

Can't remember the last time a starter for a team was out for a month and no news leaked as to what happened

Lue been doing this since the Russ got there. And people were criticizing Lue, especially during that overtime game against the Kings for sitting Russ. Cannot blame Lue for doing this during their losing streak then praise him when the team is winning

Russ played 4th quarter minutes in the Mem, GS, Minny, and Sac games (Both gms)...The only game Russ did not get 4th quarter minutes was against Denver and that was because LA was making a comeback.

The clippers were down to Denver in the 4th and Lue kept Russ glued to the bench
