argentinaworldchampion 32 Report post Posted January 10, 2019 We have reached a point where we could be up 50 against the Cavs at home, and this team would still inspire "confidence" of blowing the lead Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

After being laughingstock for years even they managed to turn it around. But yea looking at the standings sure we only three games out, but Celtics and Rockets up next. FFS just sell off. They are not better than us. They are just playing better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They are playing better, yes... but is due to the fact that they are farming our future PG. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's the difference between having briscoe-Ross-iwundu-Birch as your bench and dinwiddie-shabazz-demarre Carroll-Ed Davis. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eh, I think he's better than Jackson. I'm not sure I'm sold or anything like that, but if he's what we end up with I think I'd at least have an optimistic open mind about it. Is he super efficient? Probably not, but guys like Rozier and Ball who we keep mentioning aren't either. We've been pining for a guy who can a) create his own offense and b) facilitate and create plays for others. Russell can do both of those things at least. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He may not be the best PG in FA, but damn sure brings to the table what we’ve been lacking Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He'd be the worst at getting to the line on the magic this season. This is because he's really bad at getting to the rim. And really bad at scoring at the rim. He's a below average three point shooter. He scores a bunch in the mid range. We score a bunch in the mid range. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
