Ypu expected him to dance and show out after a defeat?Russ and Cam aren't the same. Cam danced and had no problem showing out when they were winning. The second they lost he went ghost. BAN.
You'd actually have to be on the court info the first place for that to happen.
Yup. Russ is lazy on his defense. Harden just stands around on defense. Steph hides on defense. Lebron chills on defense til it's a certain time. KD's defense has been better this year. Kawhi really the only top player that consistently goes hard on both ends.
LeBron's D was great when he was on Miami, though. Also KD has been pretty lockdown this year.Yup. Russ is lazy on his defense. Harden just stands around on defense. Steph hides on defense.

Same. People just have a different level of competitiveness. I literally wanted to fistfight people from the other team after losing bball games in middle school. I can see how others cool down quicker after an L and are willing to congregate with the other team. I can see the flipside of that coin also. Just different personalities man.Personally I got no problem with how Russ handled himself in defeat and I can't stand him.

Plus losing the SB is much different from losing a first round series.

Russ has been lazy on D for years and he had Kd on his Team. Stop with the he's stopped playing D only this year narrative.
Not disagreeing with that. It's true.Bron also had Wade and Bosh. And KD has 3 other guys now.
your big bro been a very underrated defender for awhile now.KD was also pretty lockdown last year. Again less responsibility though

I feel you on that.. I hated Iverson just like I hate Russ (on court game and style of play)I love Russ not just because of his unique playing style but also because of his imperfections. You can see his flaws and warts on full display at the same exact time you see what makes him so special.
It's okay if we have a few polarizing solo acts in the nba, its one of my favorite things to watch - I'm a warriors fan and I love watching team ball but I also admire the hell out of Russ or prime AI because I can't take my eyes off them. Not everything with basketball should be about efficiency or analyzing true shooting percentage blah blah blah - I'm here to be entertained man and for 80+ games Russ did that and if that came at the cost of developing ******* Oladipo (he's trash) or Steve Adams then so be it man.
I also think we can't forget the fact that OKC literally had a top 2-3 player in the world just walk away for nothing, how can we expect much more than 47 wins and a first round loss? They're starting SG literally is a 40% ft shooter and is scared to dribble. Max player Kanter can't guard a pick and roll if his life depended on it. They have close to zero good 3pt shooters(Russ included), a disastrous recipe for 2017 ball.
Think if you took Lebron off the Cavs or Kawai off the Spurs - we'd see a lot of major flaws on both those rosters exposed.
I've always defended Russ and I always will - he ain't perfect and neither are you
Mann, to not be entertained by AI? That's bonkers but to each is own like you said.I feel you on that.. I hated Iverson just like I hate Russ (on court game and style of play)
Not for me and isn't entertaining to me in the slightest but we all like different ish.
His plus minus in the fourth is very negative.
But his teammates. And the +/-
