Trying to figure what out, how to play after losing a step? Maybe he should have spent more time on that several years ago instead of just being content to out athlete his competition most nights.

I just can't believe that he "lost a step" after setting lanes on fire to start the season. Something's wrong, but this is not "normal decline".

Exactly.
Dude was finishing at his best rate ever when he started the season.
Im not too concerned with Russ. It was good to see him so annoyed about it. He will be bouncing back in no time

He has had 3 dunk attempts in total in the last 10 games. Before the ankle injury he had 12 in 4 games.

Something's wrong. He's not even attacking the rim regularly.

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

This is a strangely hyperbolic post. Are you really reacting to meaningless junk time?

I dont know. Was billy reacting when he called timeouts or put russ back in? Do we think that even though we came back against a Brooklyn that a team couldn’t do so against us? Would it not be nice to see backup players make the most of the time they get rather than blow a big lead in a few minutes? The bench had been torched in recent games and seeing it happen again isn’t reallt meaningless. Hyperbolic would be suggesting that everyone should be traded or even euthanized. However, saying “This is kind of disgusting” is far from hyperbolic

Erik Horne implied that Russ is sick.

I believe it. He looked like he didn't want to be there, which isn't like him at all.

If he didn’t want to be there, I would be fine if he would quit shooting, lol. I think this team is good enough we should consider giving Russ a few games off here and there.

I didn't think he looked like he didn't want to be there, he was just laboring.

I agree. Laboring and frustrated but not passive like he wanted to be somewhere else. I think we’re all pretty much saying the same thing. He sucked and wasn’t thrilled about it.
