Honestly Russ is one of the worst at pretending, and I think it mostly stems from knowing Adams has his back.

He's fiery, but I think your right about Adams' being why he never holds himself back. Melo's influence hasn't helped I bet. He learned too many tricks from AI back in Denver.

I was watching a Thunder vs Blazers game and Nurkic cheap shots Adams and knocks him down, all of a sudden Russ comes flying in from no where and pushes Nurkic. I think that a boy Russ. I see a different angle, Nurkic knocks Adams down, Russ is slow walking looking at Adams then Nurk then Adams, as soon as Adams stands up Russ goes running in. I'm like I see you, you sneaky *****. Lol To be fair to Russ though he does always run to help a teammate.

In fairness, if Adams had my back I would probably lean on that too.

Well, that would be silly since no one appeared to be altercating when he came on the floor. Nor did he do anything that could be interpreted as an altercation other than running his mouth which everyone was doing all game long.

They should have T'd Russ up there. No reason for him to be in a guy's face that just took a shot to the yam bag when he wasn't even on the floor for the play. It was ridiculous that they gave Gorbert a T too. Suspending Westbrook for game 5 seems silly though.

Players were jawing and he rushed and bumped Gobert who was wincing in pain and then slapped away his hand. If he can't leave the bench to join an altercation, he can't leave to start one.

I agree that suspending someone for a technicality is silly, but Amare Stoudemire's championship-deciding suspension was 10x sillier. So what does the league do? Phoenix Suns fans sure would like to know.

Fake tough, IMO. He went to take a nap when Ben Wallace stepped to him and then he found the biggest nerd in the crowd to swing on. His "fight mix" on youtube shows he cheap-shotted Harden, Barea, Rip Hamilton, and got into it with Gerald Wallace, Paul Pierce, and Rajon Rondo.

Now all that being said, he was scary because he was ****ing bananas.

Not saying Ron can or can't fight, but I can't fault a guy from saying no thanks to fighting Ben Wallace. Lol

I always felt like Crash could probably throw a little.

FWIW if OKC was going to go out to someone, Utah is my preference. I've been driving the Mitchell hype train since December, and talk up Ingles and Favors a lot, so at least I like guys on their team. Plus those crackers deserve something to be happy about in Utah.
