I have him on ignore. That guy is a clown. He has fixed opinions and works backward to take out of context data to a confirmation bias. Why is he even in here? You can literally find him in any thread with Russ' name attached posting out of context, low-quality data. Russ is 2nd in assists in the playoffs. Any other player (like CP3), folks would be talking about how even when he's not scoring he's still impacting the game. If the other 14 players on the team could defend and contribute, we may have actually snatched a home game from Philly. You can't expect a weak defensive team that can't shoot threes to depend on their 6'3 non perimeter shooting guard to change his game in the playoffs and become a sharpshooter. There's nothing wrong with Russ' game. His strengths and weaknesses have more or less been consistent his entire career. Russ or no Russ, if the Wiz win this game it'll be cause Bertans finally remembered how to shoot, Rui remembers how to defend without fouling, and Neto does more that just get dressed for the game. Mark my words.
Did you see the Brooklyn game last night? You can't tell me that wouldn't have been a better matchup for out 6'3 backcourt.
