D'Angelo Russell Discussion: Adopting A Professional Attitude

Has been awful 2 of the last 3 games.

 

He's position fluid, I guess. He sure as hell isn't a SG either with his %

 

#Not A PG

 

Umm DLo you weren't a good point guard err basketball player today. Like you were the opposite of good way opposite.

 

yea who cares what position you are, produce or stfu

 

Curiously...he's been kind of hit or miss, ever since he made that comment about Lebron coming back, means that everyone has to adjust to him again, because Lebron kinda does his own thing. The biggest problem that I see with him, is that he really struggles to score on drives. No floater, or off the glass moves, he just throws up weird looking shot attempts a lot, when he drives. Layups can help get you into a shooting rhythm too. I hope he gets back on track at home...the Laker Nation can turn on you quickly.

 

His next contract gets smaller and smaller with each successive game.

 

yeah......i think trading for conley would've been a better idea

 

Conley is shooting 67% from behind the arc in his last three games.

 

Truth!!

 

Don’t understand why D-Lo has playoff struggles. His game should translate very well in the postseason.

 

he's just not a dog, if you will. he doesn't like contact, and he doesn't respond well to aggression. these things have been true his entire career.

again, i'd like to see our guards at home before i freak out. memphis is a good defensive team, and they imposed their will at home in game 2. we're going to have to make some shots over the top to get them out of the paint. we didn't do that much in game 2.

 

I'm not ready to panic either. I think last night was going to be tough to win period but I definitely wish we had played better specifically DLO. I expect a better performance at home.

 

Yeah. I was right there with you on that. A handful of us argued for a deal including Conley for months.

We did good getting younger, but Conley was definitely heavily underrated IMO.

 

conley's better today, but russell projects better for longer. obviously, if he's going to shrink in the playoffs, that's not good. but i'd probably be more comfortable betting that russell will improve in these situations than that conley will have another healthy and productive year next year.

but yeah, for just this year's playoffs, give me conley.

 

Agreed. I get us going after Russell instead and don't knock the front office for that.

 

Dude shrinks in the big games. Thought Game 1 was going to be a turning point but he stunk this game.
