I don’t wanna hear about this type of shit unless there’s a ladder involved this season.
Bro lost his aura after leaving Brooklyn…… I remember he was becoming one of my favorite players to watch but since that season his game seems to have taken a step back.
Hope that shooting practice improves his defense.
gets cooked on defense
“Let me go get some shots in post game”
Only on reddit will you see a player get criticized for working on their shot after a rough shooting night
He already acknowledged he’s cheeks at defense lol
I think DLo actually tries on defense and wants to be a good defender. He’s just too slow for a guard to be very good on that end
so in other words, he’s bad
Yes. Just in a “at least you tried” kinda way
His PR moves working wonders as I’ve hardly ever seen him give consistent effort on the defensive end
I haven’t watched too much of DLo since he was on the Nets, but I thought the same about him then as well IIRC. But I’m sure the PR has an effect too, because he’s a player I already like
His defense wasn’t the problem, his turnovers and shot selection at the end of the game were the problem. He actually had a nice steal this game.
Acknowledging that the Nuggets are really good, and it’s a hard play to defend, he was one of the main targets of the Jokic, KCP, Murray split action set that they used repeatedly down the stretch and scored on every time

regardless he wasn’t the reason the lakers lost, he had a positive rating last night.
AD needs someone to feed him to keep him involved, when he was playing with westbrook he averaged crazy numbers and kept the defense at a high level, we need someone like that.
“A nice steal” in 48min is crazy
how many steals do you think nba players average per a game? kawhi only averages 1.7 and he is one of the best defenders in the league.
Russell was not the problem last night, he had a positive rating

the problem was getting AD involved, we don’t have someone like Westbrook to feed him.
Youre right you’re right, he def should be guarding air instead, that will help.
Here we go with this again
He was too lax w/ the ball
That’s kind of his thing.
Somebody send this to RDC 😂
Yep, looks like it.
Deploy the RDCWorld skit.
WHERE IS DLO???
Not gonna lie much better in defense shot wasn’t falling first half.
y’all could’ve really kept schroder
Was in fact, the first thing I thought of seeing this post.
Definitely 🤣
LMFAOOOOO
The more things change, the more they stay the same. Basically game 5 of the WCF. I guess best-of-9 wouldn’t have made a difference after all.
Lakers fans will still tell you DLo is elite and the signing was justified. He just doesn’t have it and is a horrible fit on this lakers team, let alone most every contending team.
Laker fan here. DLo sucks. Lakers would be better off with just about any other player in the league. in fact, if you simply waived Dlo and replaced him with nothing, the Lakers would be better off.
Wouldve agreed with u if u didnt add the last sentence. Dlo sucks, but he’s far from being a Westbrick.
But would it be as competitive ┐(´ー｀)┌ ??
Ok?
