He was the reason we lost last night.

He continues to bring him man into the oaint EVERY game by crashing to the rim. Every time Russ is in the game he does a great job disrupting our offense by introducing defenders to the paint. Then when he is on the arc he is consistently ignored, and for some reason he won't stop that shit ass quick jumpshot, and he's struggling to finish ar the rim because he won't accept his athletic ability has diminished.

Super frustrating. He cost of the lead and Lue let that bad run with Russ go on for too long.

If you don't want Russ in the paint then why even put him on the court?

He is crashing the paint without the ball on a team that prefers to work within 15-18 feet of the basket. He is bringing his defender into the paint and leaving him there this disrupting our offense.

With the ball in his hands, it makes sense and even then his current athletic ability is not allowing him to be as explosive as he once was.
