Russell should win this one going away. It would be nice to see a crisp performance with lots of effort and spirit, though, even if the game does get out of hand. From reading the message boards, it sort of feels like Russell should devote the remainder of this season to proving that rumors of their demise are being greatly exaggerated!

Again, I agree with Beetle that the starters need to stay in. The regular season is nearly at the halfway point and these guys who play both ways need to start getting into shape so that it won't be a problem in the playoffs when they have to play full games.
