One thing you know about Russ...he's gonna do what he does until the league doesn't f*ck with him anymore.


A few years from now when he's completely out the league it'll seem shocking, but shyt was always headed in that direction.


Just like Iverson.

I’m glad they wizards nets game got postponed. I feel so sorry for Russ when he has to play Brooklyn and looks cross and see Durant harden and even Jeff green( remember they revere the original OKc thunder) in that great situation and then He has to look In The mirror and see the situation he’s in :mjcry:

The problem is Russ is trying to force assist when he can get to the rim easy. If he gave up on triple doubles and used his energy correctly then his game would improve.

Clyde Drexler fell off at around this same time. So did Vince Carter, Dwyane Wade, Shawn Kemp. Julius Erving maybe one year older.

Iggy when he was even younger than that. Hell, Blake Griffin is falling off right now.

You can really tell which players had games that actually are predicated on athleticism. :sas2:

It’s like y’all ignore his other stats lol

Russ shooting 47% in the 4th
While Beal shoots 33%fg & 18%3pt

btw Russ usage is 23rd in the league vs Beal who is 2nd (but really number 1)
I don't think he meant the actual "usage" stat, because that basically only counts your shots and turnovers. He means the amount of time Russ dominates the ball. Russ has the ball an average of 7 seconds a possession, Beal only has the ball 4 seconds/possession.

Your 4th quarter stat is based on a tiny sample size, since Russ has only played in 9 games this year and Beal in just 11 games. Russ's 9 fourth quarters is the equivalent of just 2 full games, you can't base anything on that little data. At least wait until he's played 40 or so 4th quarters before you say anything.
