late december.

it's just shocking watching everyone run around on defense and russ bent over with his hands on his knees and jogging. he really is struggling with his legs and movement and stamina.

Yeah it's weird and his legs definitely aren't there. Was something Duncan mentioned on that podcast we were talking about earlier. This team would be insane with 17 Westbrook.


'17 westbrook is gone forever, i think. just have to hope he doesn't lose too much too quick. i'm real pessimistic on this.

I'm not as down, but need to see him back a bit more this year.

This is kind of a disgusting end to an otherwise nice performance.

Yeah a whatever point win but it wasn't really that close. A lot of garbage time.

I was hopeful he would rest up and recover over the summer. Then we get a surprise knee surgery before the season. I hope I’m wrong but it really seems like the window is closing fast. I don’t expect him to be this bad every night but the guy can’t get the ball to the rim to save his life. It’s kind of sad really.

Yeah I don't think he's been as bad as tonight all season. I'm not really sure what to make but for the time being they're still winning and playing mostly good basketball so can't mind that part.

Well that was the best season of his career so the odds of him having another one are clearly not that high. I'm still optimistic to see him playing like the years before that (maybe with less athleticism but better passing ability)

That's my hope as well. And I think his passing's getting there. His legs just not there.

We win by nine. Our second unit is crap and schroder isn’t the savior. That being said, we obviously can’t afford to not have a good second unit PG at this stage of russ’ career.

travesty of a game from russ. not only was he horrific, he comes back in to get his triple double. only starter on the court between both teams. as if russ is the guy we need playing superfluous minutes. i'm sick of him chasing triple doubles. how was this beneficial to the team?

Nothing new. Diallo is crazy good, Noel is starting to play well but Patterson and Abrines are terrible.

Apparently Porter got a knee contusion in the Wizards game. I'm bored enough to try that trade on the trade board.

RESPECT THE GAME!!!1!1!1!1!1!!!!1
“If you're getting stops and you're making threes and the other team's not scoring, that's when you're going to see a huge point difference there,” coach Billy Donovan said.

Cool spin....

Or maybe he was attempting to work through all the mess he’s in. If it was just a triple double chase as you say, why did he stay in after he got it. He could have just taken a courtesy foul and left the game if all he cared about was a triple double.

This a garbage trash take even from you, but I don’t expect much more at this point

Did you even watch the game?
