    I bed DLO appreciates LeBron's mentorship. The kid is doing great for himself. In his first year, it was Bryant getting most of the shots. You may recall that we only won 17 games that year :(

    DLO got a few more shots in 2nd year, now taking more shots than ever before. I have really enjoyed watching him blossom.

    I have league pass so I watch all the other teams especially with the Lakers being crappy.

    For me, I really look forward to watching Russell. He’s so smooth and just crafty. I miss having that kid here. I was bummed when traded but I’m so glad he is doing well with the Nets.

    I will say that being traded was probably the best thing that could happen to him. I’m sure he was caught off guard and no matter who you are you have to work to stick in the league.

    I really love that kid!

    Watching him carve up Portland right now!

    He had a bad second OT, piled up the turnovers, but the counting stats were huge.

    Inconsistency right now.

    Russ was 2-9 at the half. He poured in 20 in the third quarter against Boston.

    His team also won, and remains 7th in the playoff picture. Big win with Miami and Orlando right on their heels.

    I wish this guy was a Laker. Can someone Photoshop D'Angelo into a Laker jersey? I wonder how he'd look wearing purple and gold?

    Like actual purple and gold, not pinstripes and banana yellow.

    Nets with the most difficult final 7-game and 5-game stretches to end the NBA season. Not doing well. Russ scores 18 in the fourth, and they come up short.

    ^regardless of how they finish, this was a great season for both, the Nets and Russell.

    I'd say they did better than anybody expected.

    I agree. But it sure sucks to miss out on the playoffs in the final four games.

    They’re still in 7th at the moment, but yes they’re a half game out of 9th. Shame, I’d like to see them make it, I’d love to see how Russell looks in the playoffs.

    Brooklyn clinches at least .500 season and a playoff berth.

    Very nice, they beat the Bucks and then Pacers to clinch. 41-40 as of now, looking forward to seeing Russ and the Nets vs either the Bucks or Raptors in round one depending on the final games.

    Current matchup is Philly.
    Brooklyn split the four game series against the Sixers this year, losing by 13 and 2. They also won by 3 and 25. I don't expect them to beat Philly, but they should be able to take at least one game.

    Russ averaged 27.3 MPG against them, and he posted 21 points, 7.3 assists, and 3.5 boards on 47% shooting.
