    If he can just soak up some regular season possessions taking ball handling to keep Jokic/Murray fresher and give us some bench scoring for the couple minutes Jokic is off in the playoffs it’s a win.

      yeah as long as you have 4 other shooters out there I think russ is still a viable player. and since you have Jokic and Saric as shooting bigs you should be able to do that fairly often. Could also use him as a dunker like a mini-AG or Bruce Brown with less shooting.

    Ready to see a disgruntled Harden requesting a trade to the Knicks after Leonard will miss a couple of important games they will lose.

    One of the biggest heart players ever whose biggest fault is not being strategic at times joining one of the top 3 cerebral minds in the history of the game, how could it not work?

    Russell Westbrook draws a charge and lies on the floor, screaming into the camera overhead.

    Thanks for being the only consistent player the past 2 seasons. We didn’t get All-Star Brodie but we got a tough as nails grit dude who inspired his teammates and played with more heart than anybody else.
