  1. Yes, and the season when Denver won the championship, Russ had two games with 30+ points ws Suns in the playoffs(2023) one year before this statistics. You are boring and you only create even more tension between the players, let the man alone. .The one from DNVR made a fool of himself by saying that CB said to Russ -he is the champion- and that's why Russ can't have the number 0 on his jersey. Which did not happen and it is a complete lie.

  2. Ryan how was he out of his prime in Houston? He was a legit all star & put up 30 multiple times. They went out to the champs Lakers. Clips was a great fit until harden arrived. Idk what's up with people not fact checking when it comes to Russ.

  3. Watson is not good enough, and the reality is he may never be good enough. Hopefully he gets an opportunity, but I don't want to see them tanking games to make Watson feel special.

    If Russ being a rotation piece is needed to win, he needs to be a rotation piece.

  4. Sounds like Westbrook is helpful because he’ll continue to pay attention during the game. And it sounds like you trust Šarić a lot even though he was newly traded.

  5. If we're gona bring up Russ poor #'S in the playoffs vs Dallas look at how we was used Ryan he needs the ball in his hands. You don't t tell your PG go stand in the corner, you put him in position to succeed. Something I'm hoping Malone will do.

  6. Malone is emotionally attached to Murray and Porter… that's the reason why they weren't traded… Jokic never had an All Star teammate
