To the Russell defenders: here comes another game and another chance for him to get by a defender and attack the basket. Hasn't happened yet, 6 games and counting...
But hey I guess he's only 19, it takes time to develop a first step and quickness and aggressiveness, right?
I'm really pulling for Russell, I just want to see a sign that he can beat a defender and get to the rim, is that too much to ask?
Plenty of times this has been addressed, you're just refusing to listen. The kid is CLEARLY on a short leash. This aggressive Russell you're simply not going to see until our genius of a coach decides it's a good idea to not hamstring him. The defenders you speak of are just being sensible. He's 19, in his 7th game ever as an NBA player, on a team filled with people who demand the ball, with a coach who yanks him for seemingly no reason at times, and is STILL, unbeknownst to you, playing decently. Relax, the flashes are there if you're actually paying attention and not being unreasonably negative. He's in a terrible situation and until the team, players and coach included, get their head out of their butts....you're not going to see some incredible flash. Revisit it at the end of the year

BECAUSE ITS HIS FIRST TIME PLAYING PROFESSIONAL BASKETBALL AGAINST THE BEST BASKETBALL PLAYERS IN THE WORLD.

Purpnyellow was saying why didn't he attack in the SL and preseason against second and third tier players either?
Dwyane Wade: Kobe 'was the bar for me'
View media item 1782182
This could be Kobe Bryant's final NBA season, but he eschewed any idea of a Derek Jeter-style farewell tour last February. As a result, every time Bryant arrives in a different city or lines up to face an old foe in the coming months, there will be reminiscing.
With Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers in Miami for Tuesday night's game against the Heat, talk has turned to his potential last game in South Florida - and, perhaps, his final matchup with Dwyane Wade. While the Heat visit L.A. on March 30, both players have missed a combined 171 games the last two full seasons.
"He was so far ahead of me on where I could get in this league," Wade said to reporters of Bryant on Monday, reminiscing about playing him during his rookie year in 2003.
While Bryant is two inches taller and four years older than Wade, there are noteworthy parallels: both will go down in history as two of the greatest shooting guards ever to play the game, both won NBA titles and scoring titles, and both found themselves as sidekicks to Shaquille O'Neal early in their careers (although less acrimoniously for Wade).
"He was the bar for me," Wade said of Bryant. "I didn't have no Michael Jordan when I was in the league. So Kobe was that bar for me."
Tuesday marks their 20th regular-season meeting. Wade's teams are 11-8 all time against Bryant's.

Melo: Our teams both suck
Kobe: I know bro.
Melo: See you back here in June for those lottery balls again.
Kobe: You already know Silver promised to gift us the lottery so we can get the #1 pick and take Ben Simmons.
Curry and harden if I recall correctlyWho was Russell being compared to coming out of college?

Which is what I take umbrage with. Guy has never shown what they showed in college. Could he become great sure maybe. But scouts got ahead of themselves with that one.Curry and harden if I recall correctlyWho was Russell being compared to coming out of college?
