    Off topic from Emma and Lindsay looking both hot and ugly depending on when spotted, and certainly from D'Angelo Russell whose thread it is .... but Kelli Tennant is a "tall drink of water" and a cutie. :clap:

    images for Kelli Tennant

    Especially in the 4" heels she wears on TWSN shows. Makes "Coach" look like a midget.

    Sweet!! Nice edit. :Headbang:

    But could use at least 6 more minutes to be called Rookie Season Highlights. DAR's real full season highlight clip is going to be sick.

    He was getting in a groove until he bruised his shin, hope it's not serious

    I'm sure he'll be alright. Even if he doesn't play tomorrow I'm sure it won't have him out long. Bruised shin is painful and annoying, but I think if this game were actually important he could probably play through it. At least I hope he could. Better cautious/safe than sorry in a lost season though.

    Jammed his pinkie left finger too as he kept holding it prior to the shin banging.

    I thought Russ was on his way to another one of those great games that he had when he went on that great run of 20 point games. Just wasn't the same after banging knees. Smart to hold him out later tonight. This kid is our future. No need to risk it. Needs to strength his core strength in his legs. Don't want him becoming Anthony Davis (in terms of injuries).

    D'Angelo missed some very makeable shots early on. Got hot in the fourth. Would've liked to see more aggression in the last three minutes, but also part of that is Kobe being in there. Can't expect a 20 year old kid to wave off a legend. I thought his defense was really good. Just anticipating passes and using his length to get some steals. Some good help rotations. Would've liked to see him more on Booker. Also this pass from half court to Larry was just beautiful. I saw him do this stuff in college and this is why I wanted the kid in the draft. You cannot teach that kind of vision, but the difference between him and Huertas is he doesn't telegraph or get caught in the air.

    had to go to bed after watching the first quarter, so I'm glad Russell picked it up (he was way off at the beginning, missing several easy shots).

    re: the clip above, it baffles me that he can't get more than 3 assists a night. I know some of this is Byron and some of this is pretty bad teammates, but you'd figure a guy with this kind of vision and coordination could find a few more guys for buckets.

    We don't give him the ball enough. When D'Angelo is actually initiating things the offense runs a lot smoother. Too often it's Kobe, JC, or Julius trying to initate things and we usually end up with a contested jump shot.

    his pinkie on his left hand (When he banged it against MEM) must be bothering him the last two games because his shooting has been a little erratic at times.

    Russell's just so smooth. That thread the needle bounce pass off the dribble to Nance was just beautiful! Loving this kid. He's so much better than I expected in his rookie year. Can't wait to see him develop under a better coach.

    Apparently this video was just publicized where Nick Young admits to cheating on Iggy with a 19 year old...
    Allegedly D Russ recorded the video, sounds just like him...

    No way that's real. I can't see any reason why Russell would be recording or releasing this.

    Also, can anybody even make out what they're saying? All I could take from that was:

    30
    19
    club
    amber rose
    not my girl
