Hate the way this season ended, but it was great to see him overcome that December shooting slump. Still one of my favorites to watch in the league, his game is so smooth
39% career playoff fg... it's not a slump, it's an inability to deal with physical play, a lack of toughness and leadership - just ask Magic Johnson he knew... 🙀🙀🙀
@@schmitkeoriginalshe’s not a superstar lol he’s a 3rd or 4th option you guys overreact too much the when he gets hot like he did in Denver and the team still loses everyone gets quiet
I’m a lakers fan and Dlo is in my top 3 favourite of all time and usually he Is a good player but occasionally he isn’t good but I don’t think they should get rid of him
@@JHNBApeople have to realize Dlo is a jump shooter.. it’s easier to go cold when you’re jacking up primarily 3s he still was one of the top shooters last year
I can’t stand when people always use the same things to discredit any player. Your right d lo isn’t a playoff player and I blame him as a fan. D lo also isn’t the only player that isn’t a playoff player. There are some guys I see on forums fans constantly bring up over d lo that are arguably the same. It’s also funny because I’ve done research on playoff numbers and guys like Trae young who people rightfully want and iverson have arguably had similar shooting numbers like d lo in their playoff careers. And OF COURSE those guys are better for any sensitive fans who take simple arguments or opinions so seriously, but even better players shoot bad. And d lo doesn’t overcome his shooting percentages through others ways, but people don’t give him any simple credit for legit good Playoff moments or even series. He was actually good the GS series. I think 44-45% from the field and last years playoffs when they made the WCF he was 42-43% which is close to his season averages. Like yes he isn’t a superstar or better than others but he has had some playoff performances that argaubly are good and it sucks I can’t even have a right to say it was good because I feel it was good to alright. Like people acting d lo couldn’t do what Peyton Pritchard did in the finals coming off the bench and making some baskets. People care too much if a player isn’t a superstar or perfect and trash him like you would be 1000% better. D lo deserves criticism and has been up and down, but almost a decade playing has had solid season shouldn’t be some travesty like other top draft picks. Everytine he is mentioned people act like he is a stain and just s*****fled silver off to get his success. It’s so annoying how people find every little detail not just with him but tigers to disrespect him simply as a basketball player compared to others. We aren’t debating GOAT here or anything just simple talent compared to thousands.
@@ryanbeltran9413 so you can't stand Magic Johnson who said Lo was a terrible leader and got rid of him, looks like the great pg of all time was correct on him... not a leader, doesn't play defense (Lo said himself, and I quote "defense isn't what I do"), doesn't attack the basket, doesn't get to the free throw line, doesn't perform in the playoffs (when it actually matters) .... he DOES SNITCH ON TEAMMATES THO!!! 🙀🙀🙀
@@joseromualdez5963 4 years... 39% playoff fg... drafting is on potential - not everyone is cut from the same cloth as a Robert Horry 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆 - Magic could sense that weakness in D Lo after a while... 🧻🧻🧻
Lakers season was basically: If lakers win, ad and bron are goats. If lakers loose, dlo is a bum 🤷♂️. Lakers fans gotta be the worst. They really want q role player to average 30 +. Yall already have 2 legends on the squad, you dont need to be smart to realize that the problem is the coaching staff
So it’s the coaching staffs fault that DLO went from averaging 20 around the trade deadline to scoring 0 points in a playoff game? DLo has shot 38% from the field and 32% from 3 throughout his 4 playoff runs, there’s plenty of evidence to show that he’s just extremely inconsistent and not built for the playoffs at all.
@@denzel8827 yeah you are talking about ONE game, im talking about the whole season. If you build a team that depends on a role player to hit 5 3’s per game to win the title, then you are a bad coach. Dlo had a 0 point game, really bad and all the fans were hating on him. But when dlo scored 23 pts with 7 3’s nobody said a damn thing… And lakers fans need to thank god that they have D’lo, without him they would miss the playoffs 2 seasons in a row😭😭
@@denzel8827 I agree, he dont perform in the playoffs, but the only player that stepped up was AD, so why you blame the eliminaton on a role player???!!!! Makes no sense. And like I said, you cant deny that if it wasnt for him, lakers would miss 2 playoffs in a row🤷♂️
I like Dlo's way of handling the ball. It feels so much in control and calculated, unlike other point guards today are flashy with their step back 3s or being super athletic. But I do hate how streaky he is with shooting.
He is pretty much the exact same player he has been for the past 8 years. Which is pretty good, but also disappointing. You can see the legendary potential in that he has the tools to be a high level 20-10 PG, but you also see the laid back approach that shows he's not interested in doing that.
If he bulked up and found ways to get to the line and be more physical on his drives he could easily be a 23 to 25 ppg scorer it was an issue for him getting to the rim even in Brooklyn casual fans don’t realize how talented he really is
I have no problem with his laid back approach my problem with him is if his shot is not falling he'll have a hard time scoring the ball because he can't attack the rim at all.
@@ObeyfizzyHe was great at finishing, just didn't get to the rim a lot. Still a point to this day. Statistically he's one of the best finishing guards at the rim. But he shoots very low frequency at the rim. Even still last time he was a first option sas in Golden State. He put up 24 and 6 a game
Let’s get real for a second: Cam Reddish deserves the starting shooting guard position, and it’s time we acknowledge that! He’s like the perfect puzzle piece next to D-Lo, while Austin Reeves might as well be from a different jigsaw entirely. I mean, come on! Have you seen Cam’s long arms? He’s like a ninja out there, swatting away pesky offensive players with the grace of a gazelle-if gazelles could guard the perimeter. Now, Austin Reeves, bless his heart, is great in his own right. But let’s face it: putting him in the starting lineup is like sending a kitten to face a pack of wolves. Opposing teams sniff him out like bad sushi, and suddenly they’re feasting offensively. It's a buffet of scoring opportunities, and who needs that chaos at the start of a game? Cam brings the kind of tenacity you’d expect from a Fox chasing a squirrel! He’s a defensive wall with the agility to stay with the best, and he’ll make opposing players rethink their life choices. Imagine the energy surge when he bursts onto the court as a starter! That's the kind of vibe we need to kick off the game-a beneficial eruption of defensive prowess. And let’s not forget: when it comes to bright futures, Cam and Austin are practically twins in the age department. Folks, the hype surrounding Reeves as a budding superstar is entertaining, but let’s pump the brakes a bit. Right now, Cam Reddish is holding the trophy for "most versatile shooting guard" and it's not even contestable! So, why not ride the wave of Reddish energy? He’s got that spark we need in the starting lineup, ready to electrify the court and keep opponents on their toes. It’s time to embrace the Reddish revolution-let’s unleash the beast!
Asking a 3rd option to be consistent on a daily basis is like asking Ronnie 2K to make a brand new style for 2K. He's not gonna do it. DLo did great as a 3rd option. Just hit a wall in the playoffs
@@sytincer5708 From game to game when their usage is up and down? Especially with a shit stain of a coach Darvin Ham was. What 3rd option other than someone like Porzingis do you know that's consistent with up and down usage?
If they can't get Caruso then I would try to keep him as best as they can. Team was solid just needed to be healthy and a have 7 foot shot blocking center with a shot.
Just watched his nets highlights then this… doesn’t even look like the same player, jumper seems alot more consistent back then as well as his handle. Idk why but it also seems like he hunches his back when he dribbles now and doesn’t play as athletic. Not saying those are negatives but it looks like a while different player
Mr. I been dominating all season. Has 0 pts and terrible effort on defense in meaningful games. Get his ass up out of there like every other team has. You literally can't win with this guy.
You weren't winning without him either. He literally changed your team around lmao. They only won 1 game without him this year. Imagine pinning a series loss on a role player. You ain't replacing him with anyone better either.
Now do the playoff edition.... 39% career playoff fg, might be tough... LA needs to get rid of this flake - Magic (you know the greatest pg ALL TIME) was right about him. Lo is 10ply (I took the D out cuz he plays none). 🧻🧻🧻

PG - bron
SG - DLo
Sf - hachimura
Pf - Davis
c - with legit center
cant believe we let howard and mcgee go lmao
1:06 shit 😂
When Dlo is hot he’s hot but when he cold bro is ice cold
Dlo is basically jalen brunson if he wasnt a star
God bless D'Angelo Russell
Darvin Scam ruined the season - Russell wasn't the problem
