Don't remember but did we win the games? Or what was the final score

 

[EddieDoyers]

We know he has been playing at a mediocre level the past two games
However, he doesn't embody the entire team, which has been also crap in the same two games.
DLo hasn't even been given the Kobe role so there's no reason why he should be taking the majority of the team's woes

 

[whiplashtw03]

We beat MEM, but lost to TOR

 

[essential1]

Won versus Memphis
Lost versus Toronto by 9. Russell brought the team back to within 2 possessions in the 4th, and came up short.

I get what you're saying but I, me myself, and I, IMO, place the responsibility on DLo to make it happen for his team so that the rest of his teammates can FOLLOW THE LEADER. 

If DLo came to play every night, his teammates would RECOGNIZE IT, even if we lose the game. There's a ton of respect that DLo can gain from that. Derek Fisher even mentioned this in the postgame show the other night.

But the fact that DLo doesn't show these qualities, lets me know that he is NOT FIT to be this team's leader and therefore is not the one we need in order to elevate our play.

 

[purpnyellow]

I mean he does have potential but you guys have to admit his effort level is terrible

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

At this point I just skim or skip whiplash posts.

Been doing this from jump

 

[whiplashtw03]

Consistent effort and hard work is EVERYTHING. It's what separates the men from the boys. Because at the professional level, everyone has talent.

that's why I fired two employees in the last month. Showed me potential 6 months ago after I interviewed them, but turned out they were both all talk.

 

[essential1]

No. We're a young team, and a team who stinks.

When you are a team that stinks, you will have games in which you look absolutely awful.


The problem here, is where the onus is put.. And it's always put on Russell... As if he's the only one who has ever had a bad game.

As if Ingram hasn't been bad in most of the games this season. Or Randle hasn't had bad games, or Clarkson or etc.


It's done for legitimately no one else in the league... Not a single person...

D'lo's fault that kawhi and Pau were so efficient tonight ?

No DLo supporter will dare admit this lol because they riding him like Flomos ride Mayweather and Pactards ride Pacquiao

Perhaps you should sit next to Luke at the next Laker game and tell him to have DLo handle 90% of the team's responsibilities. Because of how Luke is currently coaching the Lakers, our half court sets on offense often don't have a single ball handler on a play. It's hard to pinpoint our flaws on just one dude.

 

[whiplashtw03]

We have many flaws indeed. DLo our biggest one

Also doesn't help when we got 4 starters today that didn't hit double digit scoring.
Hope the coaching staff can figure out what's going wrong with our offensive sets.
