    Well if we don't want Dennis to start Dlo needs to stop sitting whenever he feels "sore"

    I hope he has lived at the physical therapy facility so there are no excuses

    not a good time to leave your teammates without a full roster

    If he sits out the Tennants game, he's a p**** and i don't want him on our team. Im a simple man, suck it up or get lost.

    Ahh … thanks for explaining. :cool: I had it wrong worrying about his landings thinking they were what were not in more normal form.

    True, but if DLo is out, I wouldn't mind starting Reaves/Beasley/LeBron/Vando/AD. Dennis is better off the bench imo.

    Man just night and day out there having a legit NBA above average starting PG and not.

    Even with Lebron and Reaves, you can see Lakers needed to guy to just get into the actions quicker and just create opportunities for others. Offense became really stagnant when the Jazz decided to drop 3 guys into the paint and I just can't imagine that happening with DLo there

    i commented above about how the wheels fell off the offense in the second half at houston largely for the same reason: without dlo on the floor, teams can ignore our pg from three, and it just busts several of our best actions, imo.

    russell's an important player for us, not just because of talent but because of non-redundant skillset. schroder is a 20-25mpg backup pg who requires specific circumstances to be maximally effective. when we have to start him and run him heavy minutes, we're not as good.

    What is going on with his foot soreness and why does he keep missing games?

    I sure hope they’re fine as clearly whatever the medical condition is with them …. has infected a lot of the rest of the team in his short time here. Has no one else been concerned with now other players making the same strange jabbing motions to their arms all the time too?

    He sounds like a fun guy and the team embraced him. That's cool and all but he needs to show up and produce in the playoffs. Sitting out games isn't conducive, to getting a fat contract this summer IMO.

    Probable is better than being downgraded to questionable and then OUT.

    Then again...that's happened the last few times for D-Lo so I'm holding my breath.
