    Played like a superstar.

    Lets hope it carries over if we make the playoffs and he doesn't lose his confidence. He's just way too skilled to let that happen.

    Wow!
    Joining Kobe and LeBron with the most threes made as a Laker was huge for us tonight.
    Keep proving me wrong, kid!

    Absolute offensive masterpiece from Dlo tonight. GAME BALL!!!! Red hot three point shooting, clutch plays down the stretch and double digit assists. So good.

    On the bright side, Lebron should know who to pass to in the last 5 minutes when he “starts making the right play”

    A couple of forced shots... may be if we add FRP and SRP someone will take him off of our hands.

    21 points in the 4th, 8 in the final 1:13. Here's D-Lo talking to the AP after the game:

    “On the floor, I've always felt like I was capable of doing things, (and) getting hot makes it a little more exciting,” Russell said. “Off the floor, obviously you all know what I've been through. Public humiliation has done nothing but mold me into the killer that you all see today. I never lack confidence. I never fear confrontation. I want all the smoke. ... I just feel confident in what I bring to the basketball game, so whatever room I walk in, I'm confident.”

    Public humiliation. That's part of the money. But if he's not HIM, and AR still is, D-Lo be "wantin' all the smoke."

    This was a superstar game from him. He's so, so clutch. I'm very happy we did not trade him.

    Do this in the PO's (not the amount of points) but the efficiency and the late game poise, and you're good with me.

    No, I'm into hanging banners.

    I don't like being 10th seed in March.

    By the way, I was probably the only person here who wanted D'Angelo over Okafor at the time.

    Give me a little credit.

    I always valued DLO more than Reaves, that's why I say DLO just needs a defensive guard next to him like Murray. I wouldn't be mad if we can trade Reaves for a 3 and D player like Murray or Bridges

    Unreal game from him. I think he has a 50 piece in him this year.



    I like our new HC


    That's wild with Bron and AD around


    Damn
