If teams still legitimately believe in Russ at this point they have no one to blame but themselves.

Big named guys in the 80s literally were playing 37-40 minutes per game.
Today’s stars play 30, 31, MAYBE 33 minutes per game. Steph Curry and Shaq both average 34 minutes.
In his PRIME Shaq averages more MPG than Steph.
Miss me with the “average player moves more now” these dudes barely playing 33 minutes a game
300lb Shaquille O’Neal played longer minutes than little ol’ 190lb Steph

Perennial playoffs team? I get that.
But BOTTOM tier teams definitely should take the regular season seriously. There’s no reason the bottom 10-15 teams in the NBA should not be taking the regular season serious. That’s the problem……

Again. It’s way less movement. Especially on defense. Throw the ball in the post. Play 1 on 1 until a late double comes. Watch some film and see how basic these offenses were. You think Shaq is playing 38 minutes having to cover multiple pNR actions and make multiple efforts. Also y’all like to talk about the pace being up now compared to the good old days, again another reason why minutes are down.
these days you have to show on the screen, get back to protect the lob and then maybe have to chase a guy off the line all in the same sequence. You think mark Eaton had to move?

…. But y’all have nicknamed dudes “Peleton Pat”…. Draymond Green doesn’t even look at the rim…
NT coined the phrase “he’s just out there for cardio” and, has given the label to a plethora of players but okay, you got it.
Now you’re saying guys in the 90s didn’t play defense?

Peloton pat is out there trying to blow up screens. Draymond is the king of the multiple efforts. Those guys just aren’t shot creators.…. But y’all have nicknamed dudes “Peleton Pat”…. Draymond Green doesn’t even look at the rim…

Guys in the 90s played defense but the offensive schemes were so bland, it didn’t take the endurance that it does to today. Go watch the bulls/ jazz and tell me it was harder to guard John Stockton than it is to guard dame. Please report back.
And it’s not even about hating on an era because you’re a product of when you play. I’m asking you to look deeper than just “he played 82 games and 45 mpg, he must be tougher” when in reality Point guards had no sauce on a nightly basis and every team threw the ball into the post. Very little off the ball movement. Watch some tape. Dudes were barely closing out on Larry bird.

His team doesn't want him to be. Which is probably the right move.

I hope this is you joking. You do realize that for the 2nd 3-peat, MJ played all 82 games each of those 3 season, and all the games in the playoffs those 3 years.
Then his last season with the wizards, at 40 years old mind you, played all 82 games. He only played 60 the season prior due to having the tendonitis fixed in his knee. He never sat out a game because he always said that someone in the stands may only get one shot at seeing him ever and that's why he always played.
Plus, you know why he played for Washington right? Ticket sales & a way to generate interest in the team since he had a minor share in the team.
MJ was a hell of a competitor. Stone cold killer!! Way moreso than James will ever be. And that's a fact!
