    The no dip 3 is so lethal… I am so amazed by it

    Just play some passable D Dlo, with Lebron your offense will always be there

    It’s only lethal if those two in back to back games go in obviously but that angle really shows how it was just one motion ….

    …. because LeBron’s pass was perfectly placed and soft like that, unlike his typical lasers these guys have to handle. Looks like it’s being practiced.

    Even DLO is probably a better defender than the skinny midget Trae Young and all tolled …. (maybe?) better all around with everything he does well on offense plus better fit with LeBron and AD. Atlanta just like at the deadline is going to want picks and AR, not DLO, plus Rui and who else. F*** that!! If teams “hunt” a guy like Reaves that gives it his all at almost 6’6” and 20Olbs … what do they do to Young at 6’1” and 164lbs? LMAO.

    It would be the Russ trade all over in losing talent in total and in the future with the picks being gone vs what comes back … even if unlike Russ he’s still in his prime on offense.

    Yeah, I'm not into that trade at all. Dlo might be as good if not better than Young especially alongside Lebron and AD. That doesn't even include all you'd have to bundle along with Dlo (Rui and picks at the very least) to get Trae. That's just not a good trade IMO.

    Have you seen him miss it? I don’t remember seeing a miss when he started shooting it lately

    Got off to a great start and then went church mouse quiet for the next 2 1/2 quarters.

    Good final line and it's nitpicking but a more balanced night might have given us some separation. Those 3s can really pour water on the other team. 4/11 from 3, guessing he didn't have the juice or legs after last night.

    Russell has a really good shot at breaking the single-season franchise record for 3s. He's just outside the top 10 right now and on pace to break it by a good margin.

    Lebron needs to teach this young man (relative him lol) how to draw fouls man.

    He made that great steal then did one of the most obvious and unnecessary offensive fouls in history by pushing the guy he stole the ball from who was behind him.
    1) that pretty much summed up the night for the lakers against the lowly Wiz
    2) one of his few offensive weaknesses is that he has no ability to draw and 1's. It would help his game a ton he could get to the line more.

    We could live with that, it's the absolutely, no resistance offered, on defense, that's his biggest problem. Well..when he's making shots that is, because if the shots aren’t dropping, he's basically unplayable.

    jeezus he's not that bad!! .... he's trying .... and even steals the ball and blocks shots not all that infrequently. Certainly better than he's been in the past! From a guy who said you could plan defenders around and hide Trae Young on defense :rofl:, as if that skinny midget wouldn't be hunted all game with picks. At least DLO has 3 inches and 30lbs on him.

    I have more confidence that Young wouldn't disappear in the playoffs tho. Defensive shortcomings and all.

    D'Angelo is like that cousin you loved growing up, then they went and abandoned you in a scrap. They will always be family, but you would never trust them in the same way afterwards.
