Even if just a few could impact West race. Only a few games separated 3-9 last year.
PG13 gets some early burn as max player in the spotlight.
Get well soon, Russ.

He better pray the injury doesn't become chronic ala Kobe. Otherwise, Russ is completely fucked without his athleticism and not much else (skill wise) to fall back on.

Too much strain having to box Steven Adams out for rebounds every game.

"Thunder to win games?"

[DMC]

Thunder will surge while he's out. He'll return and they'll drop off the radar due to "adjustments Russ saw that needed to be made".

[Nivek_ogre]

His game will definitely not age gracefully

[Stabula]

Dude is going to age worse than my boy Tony Parker who also depended on speed but at least wasn't stupid, could hit a reliable midrange J, and run an offense.
