Russ knows it's not smart to shoot many 3's, that's why he only attempted 2 against the Portland. But on most nights he doesn't care... :banghead:

Well, the game against Portland was "personal" to Russ. So he actually played smartly on offense. The mid-range shots he took, for the most part, were in rhythm and he got to the spots that were good pull-ups for him.

I wish he'd treat every game like it was "personal."

Also I don't get why we are not going with Adams more. He could easily score 30+ against their bigs.

Russ was worried about Beal's ankle

I like grant taking the ball to the basket and not always taking the three.

Starting with the Jazz game on December 22, this is his FGM and FGA over the last 9 games:

3/17
10/19
6/20
17/29
4/22
13/24
3/20
13/28
3/11

That 3/11 is the 1st half of tonight's game. Basically, over the last 9 games, he's having one REALLY bad game followed up by a good to great game.

I think a good nickname for Russ right now is "Feast or Famine".

Beastbrook or Bustbrook?

Now why would he be worried about a thing like that?

Gonna really suck to follow up that Portland loss with a home loss to the 15-24 John Wall-less Wizards who are 4-10 in their last 14 games.

This would hands down be the worst loss of the season.

Fan-freaking-tastic.

The Wizards have lost 8 straight road games, they're 4-10 in their last 14 games, and they come into OKC and hang 90 on us in 3 quarters and take an 11 point lead into the 4th.

Defense. Not. Sustainable.

Schroder is a dumpster fire

Post #34 » by **Dadouv47** » Mon Jan 7, 2019 1:46 am

They are not even shooting well. We are just trash

He’s a -28 right now.

Schroder with another failed lob attempt. Shocking.

Post #37 » by **ThunderBolt** » Mon Jan 7, 2019 1:50 am

Patterson plays like he’s forty years old.

Seriously going to lose to the Wizards at home.

This is a bottom 10 team without their perennial All-Star and they're putting it on us in the Peake.

What the actual he**?

It's not like the West is really tight and every win counts...

Post #40 » by **ThunderBolt** » Mon Jan 7, 2019 1:57 am

Ya if we could get Otto Porter for schroder and whatever else, that would be ideal.
