D'Angelo Russell Discussion: Opted In!

lakers get too many calls?

 

I went to the bathroom thinking it was a clearly unsuccessful challenge, but my buddy said the phrase used in the explanation was, “hit to the eye was marginal.”

 

Perhaps.. it's our turn now, to get some "home cooking" calls?

 

I feel we will, but ultimately we have to win in Denver. After blowing a 20 point 3rd quarter lead my faith is low in that regard.

 

at this point, i just want a win or two to get the monkey off our back. the series was done after game 2, though, unless jokic or murray gets hurt or something.

 

Michael Porter: « I definitely hit D’Angelo Russell, but the ref said the touch was minor »

Michael Porter commented on LeBron James's words about refereeing.

 

lol, respect, mpj.

 

need another game from DLO where he hits 7 threes. Usually, we win when he scores 20+ points.

 

I really, really wanted it to work here in LA for DLo. Sad to see it go down like this. But going 0fer is not sustainable going forward.

 

someone really cares!



worst playoff performance ever?

 

His lack of athleticism gets exposed in the playoffs when teams have a chance to adjust and game plan. He's too slow and physically weak to deal with that. Put that together with a lack of focus and here we are, an 0fer and no impact.

If you lack physical gifts, you have to make up for it with toughness and he just isn't built like that unfortunately.

 

we wasted his good shooting in gm2 and now we'll probably not gona get another one, even in the closeout gm....Ham will probably start Gabe now lol

 

There’s no way to get around one of your starting guards scoring no points in a game.
Awful game. He gave us nothing.

 

Still not liking that DLo for Murray trade?
At least when Murray isn’t scoring, he can play defense.

 

Would've done it then and would do it now. Problem is the Hawks didn't want him then and sure as s*** don't want him now. So now we have to go find a 3rd team to bring the Hawks something of interest. Outside of the Nets and Magic, who wants DLO?

 

Shanghai Sharks

 

Probably in the minority, I still want DLo back. Don’t think it’s good asset management to let him walk for nothing. I think Denver in particular is a bad matchup for him and not necessarily proof that he’s incapable of performing in the playoffs.
