    Could've used a little more scoring, but he was really in control of the offense as a table setter tonight. Great passes, they were the right reads nearly every time (only 1 TO) and had a really good two man game with AD going.

    Yeah superb passing tonight. Needs to find his three pointer. Also what happened to his preseason quest to improve his D? He REALLY needs to step that up. Right now he has trouble staying in front of anyone.

    Yeah the team could have used a little more scoring but we NEEDED his playmaking this game with Lebron out.

    Maybe splitting him and Austin up, gives him more focus, on playmaking as the PG. Now it's a matter of finding his groove with Lebron.

    He is a good passer but I kept finding myself thinking what Magic could do with this team.

    He is Dak Prescott of NBA PG's - looks great against bad/mediocre teams and never seems to be able to consistently break through against the best teams

    Another really good one for DLO. Was fun watching him catch fire from deep for a stretch.

    Impressed with how well he's taking care of the ball lately.

    Glad to see him catch fire and make those killer 3s to end Grizzlies’ momentum

    When he plays like that, we're hard to beat, that's for sure.

    I think it’s a huge deal. He has really been stellar at the playmaking and his chemistry with the guys is off the charts. The way he took Cam under his wing was really cool and he’s always been supportive of Reaves. He’s a good teammate. He just needs to figure it out in the playoffs. He started too last season and had some big games, just an equal amount of duds. He needs to tilt it more to the positive and he could be a keeper. We are all rooting for him.

    He and Cam played well tonight. This loss was not on them.

    14/21 from three in his last 3 games, plus being our best ballhandler and passer. He's a bargain at 17 million. It's doubtful he can be traded for even near equal value.

    yeah, he's hitting his stride after a rough start. with our roster construction, we can't afford to move him unless it's for an upgrade at pg.
