    5 for 14 is considered a “Bounce Back Game?”
    Uhhhh, no.

    17 & 7. A team high +/-. Realizing the Kennard matchup on both ends -- closing out on him on D and attacking him on offense some. If you watched game 2, yes this was a bounce back.

    Right. He shot mediocre to poor, but he's not the reason we lose leads. Even when he shoots poorly, the team does okay. He's a serviceable enough PG for now, still awaiting that one big game though.

    Yeah, DLO is able to contribute even if his shot isn’t falling as much we want. I thought he was more engaged and we just looked better with him on the floor.

    Agreed. He can stay if he takes a massive pay cut.

    Better but not great. Too many turnovers for my taste. And he’s continued his mid-30% shooting for the playoffs which needs to improve. Get it up to a respectable 45% or so.

    Can't make big $, when you're the 5th best player on a playoff team. Step your game up or pack your bags kid...

    Not ready to give up on D'Angelo just yet. This series isn't his best look so far, I agree with that. Memphis has physical perimeter defenders, that's a weak spot for him, he's slightly built and banging throws him off some. However...the next round will be more freewheeling and uptempo on the perimeter, he can big huge in the next round. I hope he plays well tomorrow though. He can get into the paint, he needs to be willing to accept the contact and get to the FT line.

    Better showing than game 2 but we need him to be better. Lebron and AD needs help out there.

    He is missing to many wide open looks, he needs to consistently put up numbers, he is on notice until he stops putting up pathetic games

    I'll tell you more... he shoots below 35% in his PO career. Sad really.

    For me, he’s down to $15. Let’s see if he can change our minds with the remaining games.

    We don't win without him but man he missed the 3 off the Reaves juke move that I think would have ended the game: Lakers would have been up 16 and the crowd would have been bonkers.

    He also missed two open shots after the 3 straight makes but baby steps and like I said definitely would have lost w/o his shooting
