So my gut reaction is that we are ok, but this is also the high risk high reward argument. Good Russ is great, out of control Russ leaves points out there that on some nights (I.e. the last two games) we can't afford. For the most part this season Russ has made his teammates better by not running wild. I feel like over the last two weeks as teams try to take away part of his game, he reverts back to the Russ that makes me feel my age.
