    Love the response from D-LO. Didn't shoot well, but still clearly impacted the game. No idea why he wasn't guarding Wade because JC couldn't handle him and he did a nice job on Dragic. Finally hit a couple of shots in overtime and made some nice passes that were fumbled away. Great win for a young team. Also the fans are f***ing morons for booing him. What a joke and disgrace.

    Russell turned those boos into cheers by the end of the game.

    Team chemistry looked okay out there.

    People have short memories. This will pass.

    I like what I saw from him tonight. He didn't score as much as I wanted him to, but he impacted the game in a good way.

    DLO impressed me with his press conference.. Handled it much better than Swaggy did.
    Hopefully he becomes a smarter & stronger person for this..

    Yes, I don't understand the boos either. It's not like he got a coach fired or demanded a trade to Pluto

    And that's all that matters. Those three are still brothers.

    Good response from the kid and guess what? He looked more focused and he looked like he knew what he needed to do. This is an opportunity to learn and so far so good. He was contrite with his apology, he showed a tremendous effort for the most part. I'm happy to see the way he responded and I'm glad he did the right things this time.

    Now it's important for him to keep that lesson ingrained in his mind though. This is just step one. He has to keep that focus, that intensity, and continue to bridge gaps with his teammates.

    On the contrary, it would probably get him cheers right now.

    I missed all the drama. Sounds like an innocent mistake, a teen being a teen and learning the dangers of social media, especially as someone in the limelight.

    Anyways, sucks for Nick but he was probably gone anyways.

    Clarkson has always been a standup person... The crew is circling the wagons not letting anyone from the media rip them apart.
