    Yeah hell do one thing more of and the other less of. Or at least selectively.

    I dont think okc even suggusted him to do that. Morey and mda and harden are smart.and credible enough to convince him

    He'll have to make shots, he HAS to shoot better, people are gonna give him a WHOLE bunch of space and let him shoot, its not gonna be optional sometimes. And it might mess up the spacing.

    Lets just wait until the season starts.

    According to zach lowe russ is a career 33% catch and shoot from 3 pt range....we can live with that...not bad at all....
    I envision we will be tearing up teams like we did 2 seasons ago....

    LOL if Kobe is your example of a judge of good character, you’ve made my point for me.

    All the Westbrook hate is silly. Chemistry is so important to the team and this is literally one of Hardens best friends. This is a big deal. They will make it work, it's basketball. Be excited we have a younger duo that can continue to grow together and WILL bring a championship to Houston. It's an even league now and we have the depth

    Because Riley is not moving Bam unless he gets back a superstar (i mean a true superstar in his prime like George or Kawhi), and in my opinion he's right, Bam is going to be really really good, great defender, athletic, can switch into smaller players, has room to improve as a shooter, very cheap for a couple of years...i think he's going to be in the mix for the MIP this season, he's by far their best assets and i wouldn't move him either for Westbrook.

    IIRC Russell also welcomed twins into his household in Nov. 2018.

    Would stand to reason he was not getting the best sleep in Nov. & Dec. and finally began to adjust by Jan.

    Just a thought.

    I really haven’t watched him play more than a few times so can’t argue with that. Did not think he was that coveted.

    My point is that "on the court" yea he can be one for sure, its not debatable. But for you to say that about him after he busted his butt working to win and how generally good of a person he is off the court isnt cool man(i will apologize for saying classless, i shouldnt have said that). You saying dont feel bad for Cp, he is an ******* after everything hes done here on and off the court is lol man....it aint right.

    Ok cool, so whats the excuse for him being the worst volume 3 point shooter of all time, even before that? I hope he does as good as those stats say, but dont be surprised if he starts shooting close to his career average which is very bad.

    Im intrigued that this could be very good or very bad at the very least lol.

    Gary Clark said exact same thing!

    We must add more young long explosive run and gun above rim type players to complement Russ other than Capela.

    I don’t care if he can get to +36% like the numbers suggest. I just want him around 33-34%. Just to keep his defender in his space when he’s on the perimeter. I’m more and more optimistic that he can do that and not adversely affect the scheme.

    If harden and d’antoni Can just convince him to get rid of that atrocious midrange shot.

    Height & athleticism did not seem to be problem in Lob City.
