D'Angelo Russell Discussion: Adopting A Professional Attitude

Quite interesting read. And kind of explains why he struggles in the playoffs. He likes to play freely, play how he wants regardless of the mistakes he may make. And now, integrated in a system where everyone has a role and you need to execute a set of actions and play a structured way, kills his mojo.
Makes sense based on his personality and history. He's really gone as soon as Rob can trade him

Yeah, good analysis. I thought that too. I think it's one of those cases where you are already fed up with someone so you blame them for little things too.

 

You can't blow the layup though - folks wouldn't bother being mad about the lob if you make the shot and it was a bunny for an NBA player

 

i think he was surprised to get it, and he doesn't have a good off hand.

agree with pika that this isn't the first time lebron's shown visible exasperation with dlo for something that i'm not even sure was dlo's fault. i think he just doesn't like him. it's AD that likes him, right?
