Lots of Laker fans are already done with Dlo, happy we aren't dealing with that anymore.

Statistically D'Lo is having a great season so far. I have him in fantasy. I know this.

Didn't you tell the other person to get Markelle Fultz instead of DLo? DLo is shooting career low on 3s so far. Westbrook has been playing well.

I absolutely told the person to take Fultz over D'Lo, but so far I've been wrong. Maybe career low on 3s then he must be making his 2s real well. I just looked up his stats. 17.5 PPG on 45.5 FG% 87FT% 7.3 assists to just 2.3 TOs that's an elite 3.17 A/TO 2 3s, 1 steal, and a respectable half a block per game. I'm sure if you try you can find some negative stat. That's the thing about stats, but they sure look good to me.

I was wondering why they play so well. Maybe because Kyrie only played two games? They got a soft schedule:@ SAS, BKN, @MEM (0-4), CHI. Lively is playing well for them. Without him I think they lose SAS and CHI game.

The problem for Lakers is both their starting guards are turnstiles on defense it’s really bad and Reaves is back down to earth shooting from last season.

NAW + Milton for Reaves to give the Lakers some defense help?

Lakers are still hanging in there. Only down 8 in 3rd Qtr

Lakers have come back from 18 down early to take and 87-85 lead after 3.

Big leads mean next to nothing in the modern NBA

Yikes did not realize the Grizzlies were 0-5. They are in shambles.

Ain't that the truth.
The Warriors playing at home fell way behind the Kings tonight. They came back and took the lead ,but now Warriors ball down 1. Curry made a 2 to take a 1 point lead and Sabonis scores to give the Kings a 1 point lead then Klay makes a game winner with 0.2 seconds to go.

Couldn't happen to a nicer organization. It doesn't bother me at all.

The battle for LA game is like a playoff game. All the stars came to play and put on a show. Glad Clippers loss

With them collecting stars like a Super Mario game, I can't wait for them to implode. These are the HOF players in LA right now: PG13, Kawhi, Westbrook, Harden, LBJ, AD, and Russell

Interestingly, NYC doesn't have any.

Sell before all your competition knows about Bad DLo.

Btw, I saw a clip in a recent game where Anthony Davis was pissed with DLo for shooting and not passing to him wide open under the basket. AD was really upset, even after the play. I don’t know if this happens a lot, but pissing off Anthony Davis is a good way to get your ass nailed to the bench.

Wemby getting better by the game. Through 3 tonight 28 points on 12-22 2-4 on 3s 7 rebounds 2 assists a steal and block and only 1 TO. Spurs lead the Suns who have Booker back playing very well 103-89. Wemby with another block and TO as I close out this post.
