Russell and Wideman have stepped up big time in terms of leadership and plugging the hole left by Gio. If they were to dip, I think it's already happened in some tough buildings on the road, but that's more a product of figuring out everyone's roles going forward. They look like they're finding their game without Gio. They won't be quite as good without him, but they're still a playoff team IMO.
