Russ....my deepest apologies

All it took was a casual 30/10/20 triple double for Russ to get going again

Russ is a super easy dude to root for and yet most casual NBA fans seem to hate him because... he didn't play well when he got traded to Houston and had to stand in the corner and watch Harden dribble the air out of the ball?

from the moment he entered the league, he has been the same in his interviews, personality and gameplay. authentic. In the same mold like as Dame. Easy to root for guys like that.

He may be a good person to root for, but his heroball stat-chasing game is unbearable to me. That’s why I’m not a fan and wouldn’t cheer him. :::shrug:::

That is my thought process as well. I was not surprised when Chris Paul basically switched places with him in OKC and lifted them into the playoffs.

According to The Jump, Aaron Gordon switched his number to 50, as a callback to how he got hosed in the dunk contest.

Houston has an eleven-point lead on the Nets, midway through the third... so, why does it feel like Brooklyn is just playing with their food?

OKC sat all their good players and still beat the Raptors.

The Magic traded all their good players to presumably tank but have instead wound up looking surprisingly competent and beat the Pels in overtime.*


*Zion, Ingram, and Ball all missed the game.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

If this becomes the spring of mediocre teams trying to tank, and all their players mutinying on them, I am here for it!

If you’re gonna try to have your in-arena team pull off one of these “cams gone wrong” stunts, you gotta hire better actors or at least wait until people aren’t scared to get too close to each other for the risk of catching a deadly respiratory virus.
