    Some really nice passing, ESPN Sports Science Guy like, since the break. Whether converted or not.

    Since Lou got traded, dlo has been averaging 22 and 5. You can see that he's getting better and bring more aggressive, especially with his mid range game which needs to be his bread and butter

    That 3rd quarter he had was a thing of beauty.

    He just looks more decisive on offense lately. It's been a joy to watch.

    Doesn't look like the gears are turning in his head as much. Just playing the game, making quick reads, and staying aggressive (whether that means shooting or making a pass based on a read).

    Hoping we see this D'Angelo every night moving forward. The kid's just so skilled.

    I had a good laugh at this while watching the game. This was when Russell drained back to back 3's in the final minute of the game

    I like what I saw, had some nice semi-drives that lead to nice cross-court kicks that the D didn't see coming

    I didn't expect them either. I was looking for a forced pass to the roll man about to cringe, but he whips a perfect bullet pass to the guy in the corner or wing crosscourt like a surgeon. Great stuff.

    The bullet long passes of course are what are coolest from whatever kind of delivery. Maybe Magic teaches this kid how to throw that long "2 seamer" overhand bounce pass. Loved those!!!

    We may not always be thrilled about his attitude/effort, but at least we didn't take this guy.

    W in T flying F is that? That's no better than Curry lying down in the all star game. Unless he's making sure they trade his a** and don't have 2nd thoughts about doing it.

    When your soul is rotting in an organization that does nothing but lose, that is the results. On top of the fact that he cant play D, its a recipe for what you saw.

    Yeah I think he's better than that because frankly anybody is better than that. Got to remember he's on a team that loves losing and doesn't even want him there. You're going to see some nonsense like that.

    I'm still glad to admit I was wrong about that draft.
