Russ is doing a lot of good things but his shot is so broken. Ferguson had a a crazy quick release on his three. Grant is getting torched defensively. Of course we contest a half court shot and the guy makes it.

I didn’t know Noel Nowitzki was a thing.

Noel is going to be very valuable in the playoffs to defend all those rim-running bigs who can't shoot (Capela, Gobert, McGee/Chandler, Jordan,...).

Am I the only one who thinks that Rubio, albeit being a very good player and improved shooter, lost a little bit of his playmaking 'mojo' since playing in Utah?

Russ has never been a good shooter but it’s starting to feel like anything other than a layup feels like a bad shot.

Russ is the only guy who can throw a lob. Patterson and schroder butchered their attempts. Maybe we should just give up on shooting and double down in athletic defenders. Abrines and Patterson are the two players struggling most. Let’s just trade for MKG and Rondo. Embrace it.

neither schroder or westbrook can defend mitchell so hopefully if the game is in reach in 4Q we don't have them on the court together. we have better options.

the jazz put russ into existential crisis, all they give him are jump shots.

russ ts 51.7% coming into the game. his ft shooting being < 70% makes it harder and harder to juice that up at the line. it really isn't looking good for him as a high usage scorer.

That’s okay. We can trade Schroder for KCP.

Ferguson is really developing. He’s going to the basket and making some nice passes. I’m not sold on his three point shot but at least he isn’t a liability at the line.

Can’t believe some of you would trade Schroder for KCP. Give me a break.

What the crap is russ doing in the paint leaving Mitchell wide open? I just can’t handle his lack of focus at times.
