If we assume Russ plays the same the rest of the season, has there ever been a larger non-injury decline after an mvp season?

If we win this game I'm going to be pissed. The more horrible losses the better chance Donovan is gone. I'll take a worst case scenario of George leaving and Melo staying if it means no more Billy.

Brian Davis is acting like Russ made the play of the year by getting his own rebound for a layup after the bricked three.

To be fair, it was a nice hustle play. He looked like the flash. Before i could blink, he was at the rim.

If I have to hear Billy say anything about fighting or overcoming after this game I'm going to just stop rooting for wins all together v

We'd be winning if this team knew how to shoot free throws.

Russ can't even shoot free throws, even an injury shouldn't make that big of a difference.

And yet he has the best plus minus on the team. How the **** are we so terrible that he can shoot 2/30 and still be the most positive influence?

We’re missing something. I can’t believe Russ can’t play this bad and still be a positive.

Pick and roll has to be prevalent in the OKC offense. Not just from Russell, I'm convinced he's just a bad decision maker.
It would be nice to have a more intricate offense, but the pick and roll has to do. Better than dribble intro the paint contested vs 5 guys, or don't pull up 3s

At least they didn't blow a 20 point lead.
