D'Angelo Russell Discussion: Adopting A Professional Attitude

Dlo best game of the year. Rui could watch him box out and hustle

 

much better strategy than "the bench will communicate my ideas".

dlo played pretty well last night and has been trending the right way.

 

Leave Russel alone

 

Some stats are meaningless

 

those stats aren't meaningless, but the meaning can sometimes be that the coach runs good players with bad units to try and mitigate the disaster. i feel like AD's on/off numbers are hurt by the fact that his coaches are always throwing him out there with a bunch of bad defenders in the hopes he can help offset it. he does, but not enough to come out on top.

i will say it matches the eye test that we're not struggling as badly when lebron sits this year, though.

again, all this points to playing lebron fewer minutes. maybe his impact will go back up.

as for dlo, i've said many times that he does stuff for us that nobody else on the roster can do. it just sucks that he was so terrible to start the year (and is terrible for at least one playoff series a year).

 

Correction. Some stats are meaningless without context.
