    Nice game overall. Needed our guards to play better and he lead the way.

    He saved us tonight honestly....we were down 96-91 and then he came down and hit a tough 3 to keep us within striking distance, and then hit another 3 off of Wood's pass that put us up 104-103 after Suggs and LeBron traded 3pt baskets...and then he sank 2 go ahead FT's to seal the game.

    Def want more of this D-LO man. We absolutely needed it esp with Reaves continuing to struggle and Vincent sucking a** in general

    I was hoping he'd parlay that momentum from last night into something beneficial tonight and guess what....





    We don't win this one if he's not at the level.

    wonder if dlo had a message for orlando. didn't they have some cap room this summer? i felt like i thought they might bid on one of our guards, but they didn't.

    Let's hope he's back, because this is what we need from him. Maybe not 28 points every time, but solid scoring, assists, big shots. Great job!

    I have. At one point I grew so much, I knew I had to eat the underside of the mushroom and tone it back a bit.

    Best player yesterday. He'll be important during the year but we know he will not be consistent

    Confidence and mindset is everything. Not just dlo, but a ton of guys on our team. Hopefully he’ll have more of these types of games than not. Keep it up dloading!!

    Damn you are a weirdo, referencing Alice on a sports site. But we like you.

    D'Lo needs to be more consistent offensively. One game he looks like he can't score anything and some games he scores flawlessly. He's also an underrated passer.

    I honestly thought you meant you had gotten fat and turned to micro dosing to address underlying mental health issues leading to overeating.

    Great game for Russell. I felt he got a little tight at the end with the missed open runner in the lane and the open 3 but we wouldn't be anywhere close to winning without him the last 2 games. Clutch ft shooter as well. Props to him.

    Let's go! Consecutive games of pre-season DLO. That's the offensive weapon we've got to have out there.

    Really stepped it up in the 3rd. Looked like that was a point of emphasis during the halftime strategy session, to get him going.
