Still think the best situation for success with Russ is him hovering around like 10ish shots a game. Keep everyone on the court involved like he does and then pick spots when to get his own shot. Wizards would need another all-star caliber piece in order to do that though.

I was about to respond to your other post with almost this exactly :lol: Low volume Russ is the best version of Russ because he can still make plays and crash boards without having to force up shots. Last night is a perfect example. 33/19/15 is great but 11-26 and 7 TOs, not so much.

I think you’re intimating what I said the other day but currently he’s best served as being a #3, at least in terms of scoring. I don’t think that’s a knock either when you figure Harden is in that situation in Brooklyn.

Nobody:

David Griffin: He’s injured now because of the open season there’s been on Zion Williamson in the paint... There’s more violence encouraged in the paint against Zion Williamson than any player I’ve seen since Shaq

The NBA:



Man has come off 50 racks for something ridiculous that didn’t even need to be said :lol:
 
Does Adidas own Reebok now?

And wasn’t it earlier this season Shaq said something like “Dame don’t have it”?
 
The thought of Simmons getting up 30 shots in a game :lol:
Man, Benjamin has taken 20 shots or more eight times in his career while Russ has averaged more than 20 FGA on five spectate occasions. Ben would break down if he tried to do what Russ did :lol:
 
Thomas Bryant coming back next season will be big for Washington

Ehhh, they are at best a 5th seed with their current roster. ( + TB )

They would essentially be in the same boat.

TOo good to get better via the draft.
Too bad to be taken seriously.

Same story we have seen here in this city.


Russ gets all this smoke but none for CP0
Huh?

CP0 has lived in a smoking section for the last 8 years.

So you think the Wizards can be as good as the Hawks, Knicks, Heat and Celtics?
 
Yeah, regardless of record or opponent, Steph and Russ have put up historic numbers since the start of April. Hope they both can get into the playoffs.

BTW - Is it still #FreeBeal or is it add a piece or two to the Wizards, let them get healthy and they’ll be fine? Someone said they were Top 6 earlier but I think there are too many teams on the rise in East. 8th best team (where their playoff spot would be) is probably their ceiling.

If they get another piece, they’ll be top 5. A solid 3 and D type guy would elevate them and not stunt Rui’s development. He just needs to be consistent

I am strictly speaking in terms of regular season WINS.

I wouldn't BET on them being 5th or hell 6th.

Sure, if the stars align they could be within a few games of the teams listed above in the regular season. (Which they are now)

However, I don't think they would be AS GOOD AS MIA/BOS.
