Russ is such a poor shooter

Really Russ? Just keep doing what you started with, why start forcing things when the ball is going in the basket?

Is Russ capable of being a good player when he doesn’t control the ball every play? I have my doubts. He’s 3-12 now.

why the **** does Melo always pump fake at the 3 point line and take the 2 which he always bricks? he has shown he is good at hitting those catch and shoot 3's. What an idiot

Russ plays like 12 seconds on the shot clock is 5 seconda

Yes he is, that’s why the defender closes out hard, hence the pump fake, dribble, and 2.

These calls on the screens are a joke. For both sides, not just us.

Should have been a foul but oh well

Davis actually calling out Russ for a stupid shot. Billy should do the same.

So we can't move (ball or players) anymore if PG leaves the game?

Imagine that, we quit passing and we can’t hit shots. Russ is the most frustrating player I’ve ever cheered for.

Not just Russ though, literally the entire team started standing still watching the ball while Russ fired away crap shots.

After seeing how well having two of the big 4 on the floor at all times did in the first half, he decides to go 1 of them AFTER MIN cuts it close?

This guy Donovan.

Mentally weak team. They were dancing and cheering in the first quarter but adrenaline only lasts so long.
