    Good game for DLO.

    I am still annoyed he no showed in game 3 but he played well tonight and was a big part of the W

    I watched that on the Spectrum postgame show, really didn’t see anything “yikes” about it

    The premise of the question was almost trying to have DLo give credit to Ham for his performance tonight. It felt like DLo was just trying to emphasize that he’s maintained his own self confidence through his ups and downs and doesn’t need external validation.

    The “I don’t need that, but appreciate it” tonally really felt like he realized people might take that the wrong way, and genuinely did want to express that he appreciates Ham having his back.

    Yeah, but I hate Ham, so I prefer to think it was a shot at him.

    If D-LO shoots lights out and helps us get a W in game 5, then I might be willing to overlook the fact that he waited until we were down 0-3 in the series to show up.

    "Might" is the key word...

    If DLo shows out in the next game, he will get his flowers from me.
    If he doesn’t, he won’t- just like every other player on the team.
    Austin and Hachi are my favorites on this squad and I’ve already stated that I’ve been disappointed in their play so far(with the exception of Austin last game).

    I think this is the last we see of DLO in laker uniform. I wonder if he'd be open to teaming up with his friend Booker in Phoenix.

    DLO, Rui & Gabe for Durant works?

    I thought Dlo played well tonight. I don’t know if I’d give up on him. Depends.

    Smh at you too. So you’d just let our third best player walk for nothing?

    He got better as the game went along. Missed a lot of easy shots for him. At least he didn't look scared out there.

    Would like to have him back. This is a good team and went toe to toe with the defending champs.

    I don't see him opting opt, unless we are giving him a pay raise in a S&T. He's not going to create, some kind of bidding war in FA.

    We shall see what happens. Right now I'm in favor of keeping him. I'm not feeling as good about Rui.
