    Benching him when he is out of control and playing Rivers or Ego.

    Right, but that is up to the coach. As fans all we can do is hope for the best.

    "for the rest of the playoffs" is vague. Everyone is bound to have a suboptimal game.

    That said, I hope he'll be what the Rockets need him to be.

    Not a believer in Russ at all, but that is probably because I have watched him closely for the better part of a decade, and this is who he is. They will not win because of Russ, they can win despite of him though. It will be on D'Antoni, Harden, and everyone else to step up and figure out how to win. The key is to treat him like any non superstar player and keep him on a shorter leash.

    agreed, but most of his strengths are not usually coupled with caution haha. I do think he should be more disciplined on how many 3s to take a game ... even if they're open, and especially if he's already missed 2-3 of the same variety.

    He hasn't "worked it out" in the postseason for 5 years. Delusional thinking.
