With every day that passes, we keep getting farther and farther away from the idea that this is a fluke or hot streak. The last THIRTY games: 20p, 3r, 6a on 47/44/82% Lakers are 19-11 After an entire offseason of thinking Reaves would be the “almost all star” guy, DLo has pretty much saved this year from being an actual disaster. They’re still not amazing, but they have needed every minute of this DLo run.
I mean... he literally averaged 18/6 on 47/40 last year and was averaging the same this season up until December. The fluke was his "slump" in which he was taken off ball and barely getting 10 shot attempts. Which is coincidentally exactly what happened in the WCF.... I hate to say it because I love him as a player, but a lot of the Lakers problems this season and last stem from them wanting Reaves to be the 3rd despite the fact that DLo actually is.
He has been, actually. I’ve watched every single game this season and he clearly catapulted his production since the trade rumors started. It also helps that LeBron and AD have let him become the primary ball handler and just let him do his thing and they play off ball.
The problem with these coaches, and I feel like this was the problem he had in Minnesota, they tried to minimize D'Angelo Russell's game. He needs the green light at all times, let D'Angelo Russell be D'Angelo Russell.
I think lebron and ad should look into lettin d lo shoot 28 times a game consistently and jus do their normal thing til the match up determines otherwise lets play thru him allow d lo to become the next laker legend tell him it’s his franchise and c if he wants it
You're supposed to expect this from the #2 overall pick of the 2015 NBA draft by the Lakers. But the other #2 overall pick also by the Lakers is injury pron, Alonzo Ball.
Julius randle, Brandon Ingram, lonzo ball, Alex Caruso, Jordan Clarkson. All of these players drafted by LA and ball out on other teams. Tells you something. Although I think Rob pelinka learned his lesson with Dlo because he didn’t trade him and now it’s paying dividends.
his defensive effort has improved. still not great espec on ball. nonexistent really. his shots just more confident. last szn was the worst ive ever seen dlo shoot, like, there were bad misses likely backboards, airballs u name it.
Well smartass, tell me which player gives you 8 threes consistently?Btw he is on course to be the leader in three pointers made in a season in franchise history! Respect that man
Any point guard on le brings team is likely to be traded and will not get a long term contract. Lebron is trying to bronny to LA to be point. If not ... Lebron leaves LA and go the same to that drafts bronny and lebron takes veteran minimum to make sure deal goes down.
@@daaniyaalmirza2060 Rui for sure! Now that I think about it, they are basically running it back. Their new additions haven’t really been contributing that much, Prince has a good game ever once in a while, Gabe has been hurt, Dinwiddie really has to step up.
To say LeBron is aging and blames him is disrespect. Did LeBron make an issue of his youth and inexperience? Competence probably. For me he is mediocre and can’t help bring a championship to LA. Lebron is right about him if indeed he blamed him. Flashes of brilliance doesn’t make you a good player. Consistency and dependability, showing up in the most important moments.

He's one of my favorite players. I really enjoy his little celebrations after a basket, either his or a teammate, he likes to hype it!
Without defense he is nothing he got lucky he on lakers and lebron give him the hype

Need him to be this aggressive
facts! lakers so much better when he looks to score

D' Lo is as smooth as silk.
Russell has been on fire lately.
4:30 he went into the motion of his shot before he even had the ball. Thats elite 👹
Funny how we almost traded our best shooter...🙌🏿😢
For real
D’Angelo Russell first LeBron James second cam, reddish third place
@@Lebron-y5j What about Austin Reeves. He's a better shooter
@@Kings0424not than lebron look at the numbers Austin would be around 4th
@@Re_ill I guess
He even puts an effort in defence
He’s trying but we need vandolorian
@@whiteboi626 Lakers bench have decent depth and talent
Ima bigger dlo fan than a laker fan but he is showtime. La is his home and I’d love to see him in this role for years to come

Man they act like D lo ain't a bucket thata crazy. Every pg mess up. But he been lethal
hope he plays like that at playoff.
D'Angelo hotter than Chicken grease🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
D'Lo said hold my drink
DLO's no dip three pointers are pretty nasty sheeeesh
Come on DLo we need this against the Nuggents
Give him a 4 year contract...he actually wants to be in L.A....hard to find players like this now a days💯💯💯
The Monster in him awakens🎉
Damn that release reminds me of prime Harden!
I was just thinking this then I found this comment... Wild
Russell been going crazy
I think lebron and ad should look into lettin d lo shoot 28 times a game consistently and jus do their normal thing til the match up determines otherwise lets play thru him allow d lo to become the next laker legend tell him it’s his franchise and c if he wants it
@4:38 Dlo already had his form established when Bron passed it. Some Midorima (kuroko no basket) level shit right there.
Dlo man is on fire
How u almost trade your best shooter 😂😂
exactly
Thank You DLO! 🥲🤧🎉
Love those Lakers colors on Di, suits him well
Amazing shot from D’lo, would absolutely love to bring him back for the right price
He’s the most consistent Lakers shooters especially when he gets hot
"Deadline DLo" had a great run after that Trade Deadline lol
Russell!you'r so great!
He can even be better sometimes he is just lazy but huge talent is here.

We need that now
The Lakers. have a big 3 and they don't even know it.😂🤦♂️
All star next year for sure he just got to be aggressive every game
You can see the confidence in his shot and the teams confidence in him Lebron starts running the other way when he shoots it
Feel like Russel is like the character from NbA 2k my career ! Becoming a legend ?
need this tn vs the bucks
dLo 💜💛
Man do this during playoffs
😅 Lakers always throw their potential assets every seasons
Julius randle, Brandon Ingram, lonzo ball, Alex Caruso, Jordan Clarkson. All of these players drafted by LA and ball out on other teams. Tells you something. Although I think Rob pelinka learned his lesson with Dlo because he didn’t trade him and now it’s paying dividends.
He wants to be in LA I hope the Lakers keep him forever
whoever running lakers team has no idea what they are doing lmao
and this was BEFORE he had 44 to beat the Bucks without LeBron. Great stretch from him
his defensive effort has improved. still not great espec on ball. nonexistent really. his shots just more confident. last szn was the worst ive ever seen dlo shoot, like, there were bad misses likely backboards, airballs u name it.
where are those D’lo haters tryna’ want them trade
still waiting for the Part
where he turns into a god
Cold
G🏀
Lakers
Big 3
Dlo is the 3rd, get him the rock more LBJ
What's wrong with him. Somebody wake him up 😂
keep him
Do just needs to be like Kyrie and brush Lebron off
Also ham benching Dlo was horrible this guy could’ve ignited the offense
The guy can shoot
They were never going to trade him.
Never 👎 a god a gd player yes
Trade for what reasons???
D’Lo deserves to be a Laker.
James harden, the DAngelo Russell 2 left-handed. Bandits
mamba mental fr
Dloadinggg
Dloaded
BUT YOU NEVER KNOW WITH D'LO . ONE GAME COULD HIT 8 THREES . THE NEXT GAME ,ONE . INCONSISTENT AT BEST ...

LoL..DLO trying hes hard not to get trade...wait for it he will relax again..😂😂😂
Lakers traded DLo again to the Nets now
He dont have defense that his problem
If the Lakers traded Russ, the gm should be fired.
What ? You said that man turned a god ? What the hell. You don't know what you are saying. 😈😈😈
1st lebron then delo then ar
Dlo got the ugliest gather package in 2k
And watch him disappear in the most important moments
Long way to go....to early
🙌😢
He needed a little motivation
I believe in Bron, AD, Vando, DLO and AR could make a deep playoff run, just avoid Denver lol
Don't forget Rui Hachimura he is a major piece
@@daaniyaalmirza2060 Rui for sure! Now that I think about it, they are basically running it back. Their new additions haven’t really been contributing that much, Prince has a good game ever once in a while, Gabe has been hurt, Dinwiddie really has to step up.
Vando ?? He’s probably done for the season.
