Good Russ/Bad Russ. Same that we got out of Reggie Jackson. To play and help us, we really need the best player to make the others play better.

Tucker needs to be glued to the bench. 2 minutes is too much, he played 22, all of which could have been given to Coffey and we would have been walking away with a win.

Lue desperately needs to be fired.

Don’t think Russ can change at this point in time.

I was more frustrated with Harden’s out of control passing. Sure he had a good assists to TO ratio but he also made too many high risk passes that didn’t work

And I’m not even going to comment on Westbrook’s performance.

I’m not a Ticker fan, but he had the best +/- last night. So this may not be the best game to complain about him.

He did a decent job of face-up defense on Zion. But then the Pels figured it out: get the ball to Zion on the move and Tucker could not keep up with him.

Getting Plums back allows us the opportunity to play DT instead of PJ at the 4.

Understood that DT is a better defender than Plums, has some nice midrange floaters and can be used when Coach wants to play small.

However, Zu is our best defensive center, and Zu fits well with four scorers like KL, PG, JH and T. Mann.

The second unit has to be figured out soon. Russ can’t keep doing his solo act. He needs to be a facilitator and get the ball to scorers like Russ and Norm.

Second unit: Norm, Bones, Russ, DT and Plums? Maybe, Coffey?

I just don’t see why you see Plumdog as the savior when Theis is arguably pushing Zu for his spot. Please explain.

Bones for Russ seems like a solid move. We have to hope that Plums comes back by the New Year.

Agreed, and we’re still trying to figure out the bench unit. Getting Plums back is going to be huge.

Still small enough sample size, especially for Harden, that I wouldn’t take a ton
