    Well, he, too, doesn't take himself seriously. And Luke said he was the one who perpetrated, with Ingram, the costume for the talent show...

    Should be good.

    Haha, Fox ignores him like a boss. DLO handled it better than Zen Master, that's for sure.

    Not Fox. He actually shook his hand and it was intended for Fox's partner. There was a longer segment on this...

    I don't know if that's impressive for Russ, or pathetic for our 64 million dollar starting center..

    Great, one more thing we will have to hear about from D'Angelo Russell LOL

    I'm surprised he wasn't the one who posted it first

    i thought the same thing. It's not a great look, but it's not necessarily the end of the world.

    Irrespective of our feelings on Mosgov getting blocked or Russell retweeting this, this is so good to see...from my perspective, you have Russell rotating on help defense (being on a string and all 5 guys contributing helping each other out) and negating an easy basket with a nice block. Now, if that turns into a foul, for whatever reason, I'm not mad. I'd rather not concede an easy layup or dunk, IMO.

    Good stuff, though. Russell has the tools to be a very good defender.

    russell's defensive problems last year were all mental, imo (most of randle's were, too). russell played the passing lanes very well. he just was only occasionally engaged on that end. i think this was a justified criticism from he who shall not be named, btw.

    Agreed, and if we plan on going anywhere, it has to start on defense.

    Everyone was terrible last year defensively. Looks like Walton is addressing it and the players will take on the challenge of being defensive minded. I liked that Jordan specifically acknowledged he was terrible defensively and is working on fixing it. That's the first step.

    Agreed. I posted that to show his obvious work on the defensive end and not to take a shot at Mosgov.
