    Nice. Didn't feel the impact though. Kinda under the radar.

    He was solid tonight. Really good to see him back to form. Doesn't have to score 33. But a high percentage shooting night in the high teens with a handful of assists works out.

    Again he and AD are playing a lot of minutes with the Beasley/Vando combo that just doesn't seem to work sans Lebron.
    Vando bad hands and Beasley just awfulness is bringing down his impact.

    I know they hide him on defense but also I don't think he's been that bad on D.

    Two clutch baskets late though - the corner 3 and the drive.

    Gotta step up and play big in these last 10 games, and whatever playoffs run that follows. At 30 million dollars, he's being paid like a star in this league. We are going to need him to play like one.

    he's a solid player, but I think that he thinks he's better than he is. That's fine if you keep your mouth shut, but when you go and open it wide and don't deliver, you are just inserting shoes. Rather he just go about his business instead of telling us how great he'll be, and how lucky the league was he was injured.

    5-15
    5-15
    5-17

    sandwiching 2 decent games around those doesn't erase them unfortunately. #dobetter

    Loved his game tonight - lit up the Suns and every time he was open, he would drill that 3.

    He had a number of drives to the basket too which was great to see as well...and he just had timely plays in the 4th.

    What a relief to have him instead of Westbrook.

    He might have an occasional chucked 3 (which, given his ability to hit those, is forgivable), but he is quite steady otherwise.

    Great game. We need more efficient shooting nights like these to at least remain in the play-in.

    Terrific night from Dlo. I love the fact that we have a bunch of guys now who aren't afraid of the moment. Dlo is one of them. Reaves is another. Same with Schroder this time around. I feel like Vando is as well. Just a fun team to watch and Dlo is a huge part of that. He gets the home crowd going!
