D'Angelo Russell Discussion: Adopting A Professional Attitude

Kardashian calves.

Honestly I feel his upper body and arms look fine for his size. Just those calves Man.

 

You bring up a lot of good points, and I agree that we should bring him back even from an asset perspective in the future to flip. Asset management will be key in making sure his value doesn’t depreciate too much if/when we do need to flip him. He has swagger and is marketable. It’s noticeable with the whole team adopting the ‘ice in my veins’ thing.

0/3 is not bad generally, especially when he shot 4/11. I have an issue particularly with Dlo and his usage/efficiency. PGs are suppose to be an extension of the coach between the 4 lines, but that’s not his role as Lebron and AD splits this responsibility. The offense also primarily runs through Lebron/AD as well so it’s tough for him to control the pace of the game. So right now, Dlo’s primary role is to come off picks/flares and he has options to shoot, or drive to kick out/lay up/oop to AD. Every player needs to master their role at this time and the criticality of execution becomes exponentially magnified with each stage in the playoffs. So in a nutshell, it’s just that I expect a lot more from him, especially in the role he’s excelled in from his college days.

 

Oh dam shots fired, d lo getting clowned

 

They are definitely taking aim at DLO. We will see how well he responds

 

he better be on a short leash because denver won't have any problem exploiting him on D again. if his shots aren't falling, get him out of there

 

I hate that family, I hope no parents allow their kids to watch their TV shows.

 

what's annoying is that he and murray are VERY similar players, right down to being defensive liabilities. so malone's playing head games, but i think we need to go after murray. feel like he's projecting a bit.

 

Dam, Malone is talking a lot of smack

 

DLo it's your turn today.Shock the f***ing world and show Malone ice in your veins at least 5 times.

 

They are poking the veins?

 

I don't know about him in the playoffs: he's got the skillset to kill these defense and he just dumb stuff over and over again.

Just a terrible game for him IMO: if I see him shoot one of those stupid swing jumpers that have no chance to go in trying to draw the foul again, I'm ready to poke my eyes out.
Shoots when he should drive, drives when he shoots, arrgg

 

He'll play better on offense at home. He struggles on the road it appears...

 

This is embarrassing

Need 20+ and at least 4 3s in each Game 3 and 4

 

i was hoping those big shots he hit against gs would shake his playoff demons, but they didn't. he just kinda wilts. i think his confidence is bravado.
