No, I'm saying Russ was not playing defense like he should that year, because he was hunting for rebounds. He had a decent defense rating, but a lot of it was because he continually left his man trying to get rebounds and didn't get hit with allowing points. He actually played pretty good defense when he tried, but that season he had another goal in mind rather than simply winning games. Russ rarely set picks for teammates or tried to make many team plays, unlike Luka who is the complete opposite in that regard. During that MVP season for Russ, there were tons of fans making excuses for his defense, even saying he spent so much energy on offense running the court that he couldn't possibly play well on defense. It sounds similar to the excuses we're hearing about Luka right now.
I was saying that in contrast Luka doesn't hunt for rebounds or stats, but he does seem to lag on defense and is slow to react a lot of times, which may be due to lack of energy or laziness. I don't think I have ever seen Luka do anything like the ridiculous stuff Russ was doing that season to pad stats, but he definitely should work on defense if he wants to win a ring some day. It's pretty clear he's not playing average defense in this series, and is covering up that deficiency in the +/- ratings with his offensive production.
