    Yeah, you got me, LOL.

    I'm not angry at the Russell deal; in fact, I've moved on. I keep tabs on Russell, though. I just hope that Russell doesn't turn out better than Ingram. That would hurt.

    I'm just messing around. Brook has only played a few minutes.

    I honestly hope Russell figures it out but I just don't think he will and I think we made the right choice trading him.

    I know :). Brook makes the bigger impact, though. He's al All-Star at his position. The jury is out on Russell. We will see...

    Another down day at LB in the lull before season opener on Thursday so went and found a couple DLO pre-season clips. Looking good. Of course no one ever misses or effs up in these.

    I like Brook (even if he's just a "rental"), so i'm not that butthurt anymore... but would still LOVE to see DLO and Ball play together.

    He's going to look good because that team will need someone to score now without BroLo.

    As far as I can see the Nets played only 4 preseason games:

    Game 1: 19 points/ 4 assists/ 2 rebounds/ 2 steals/ 1 block/ 1 turnover/ 50%FG 7-14/ 50%3P 1-2/ 100%FT 3-3/ +16 (win)
    Game 2: 9 points/ 2 assists/ 2 rebounds/ 2 steals/ 0 block/ 3 turnovers/ 29%FG 4-14/ 14%3P 1-7/ 0%FT 0-0/ +2 (win)
    Game 3: 16 points/ 7 assists/ 3 rebounds/ 3 steals/ 1 block/ 4 turnovers/ 50%FG 7-14/ 50%3P 1-2/ 100%FT 1-1/ +13 +/- (win)
    Game 4: 24 points/ 3 assists/ 1 rebound/ 2 steals/ 0 block/ 1 turnover/ 45%FG 9-20/ 50%3P 2-4/ 57%FT 4-7/ -1 +/- (loss)

    For anyone keeping count.

    Thats pretty much D'Angelo as a Laker....inconsistent effort and shooting, maddening TOs but solid all-round numbers.

    I think it depends on the stuff we don't know. What was the reported unsavory stuff that couldn't be talked about?

    it may end up being addition by subtraction in the end, but hard to know.

    Nobody should be surprised that D Russ is gonna put up numbers on a crap team. They also gave up 140 points to indiana and lost. Good riddance.

    Well he certainly looked good offensively...but defensively...yikes. Still just as bad if not worse and that was going to be a problem with both him and lonzo in the back court together.

    But I sincerely hope the nets are the worst team int he league and Russell puts up numbers because that's what I basically pegged as his ceiling when he was here...a guy that's going to put up numbers on a bad team but never make an all star team.

    Now if Lopez and Kuzma kill it tomorrow...I'll have a field day
