I respect Russ and everything he’s done and those triple double numbers are wild. But I’m not sure I’ve ever watched him and thought “wow he’s a good passer.”

At some point, I’d like someone to ask Doug why this team generates almost zero catch and shoot attempts. Everything is so difficult.

I don’t enjoy James Ham being a Sabonis-apologist. Like he’s a good player but he has absolutely proven that he is not part of the solution and also not good enough to have to build your whole roster around. Like Fox absolutely made Sabonis look so much better.
