The lakers are a completely different team when Dlo plays well
That’s how he was on the Wolves, live by Dlo die by Dlo
Hes very inconsistent.. i just wish he was consistent in the playoffs
Him and Reaves
@@padarousou him, reeves, and rui. they can't win against denver if they can't match denver's starting 5 output. denver is more consistent. so far only ad and bron were consistent the last 4 games. lakers main 5 all needs to be consistent to have a chance at denver unless AD or Bron goes superhuman carrying this team on their backs. at this point, i believe AD is more capable of that than lbj at that age but they cannot always bank on that.
@WhiteOwlBlunt its because his defense is so bad yet he takes so many minutes and always has the ball. His contract is somewhat friendly now, but this cant be afforded unless he was on the bucks playing with prime giannis or nuggets lol
Everybody loves him to death when he comes through, but everybody is ready to trade him away, when he fails. Everyone fails at times. The game is not played by cyborgs. DLo brought it tonight. Hope he continues to. He's more than capable. And, he loves being a Laker. I'm always rooting for you, DLo.
You can’t go 0-7 in playoff game bro. It’s fair criticism
Bro had zero this aint the regular season anymore
Anyone who plays with LeBron gets this treatment.
No excuse for 0 point games though dude. In fact no excuse for lower than 10 point games. Even with bad fg someone like Dlo should have atleast 15 points a game.
0 points Is unacceptable idgaf who you are.. dude is suppose to be a "Professional NBA player" .. getting paid millions to make zero points hell no
Lol Dlo 😂 alright have this same energy in game five
😂
He will 💯
This ain’t DLO’s team!
@@lennybeason1110no one said it was
he’s had the same energy all series win and loss 😂
Dlo, we need you in every game
You'll have to settle for 1/2.
Went from 0 to 100 real quick😂
he heard traade rumors
Dude, this is the problem. The masses get romanced by craplo's occasional good game. He's supposed to play like this every game! Hurry up and get the season done so we can trade this garbage. If he plays well every game and we win the title, even then I'd trade him. You guys realize he contributed nothing on defense, yeah?
It’s a team sport no i in team …
@@iwishiwasthomasshelbya win is a win
@@vernonpersitti9471 yeah, that's fine, but it's frustrating that we had a chance to deal with this and bumbling didn't do anything.
DLo we need you in game 5 let's go 💪🏾👌🏼
He pretty much never responds well to the hopes of fans. This is NOT the angle you should be taking. As far as I'm concerned Lakers NEED to upgrade their PG position unless DLo shows otherwise this entire series. Only keep him if they can at least win this series or he just plays great the rest of the series
Yo !! Dlo u must play like u did 2night in order for u guys to win . They need you bro don't ever forget that.
FR. We been said from the jump that he's the X factor. LeBron & AD gonna do what they do every game. He just needs to do what he's been doing lately in regular season...and do it here. Simple!
Lakers ain't winning another game unless dlo and Reaves show up every night that's a fact
@@jayc5756even if he can drop 17-20 a game and reaves can have 15-17 a game and if the bench can play solid defense and solid offense we can win any game
@@padarousouI can't recall ever hearing that the Bulls needed BJ Armstrong, or Harper to show up big to win. Why does the king need so much help?
@@Al-Rudigorbc it’s easier to make a name for yourself when you’ve played with legends of the game these days
The mere fact that you named Jordan’s teammates is a testament to this statement
Lakers in 7!
Nah I'm kidding 😂
Yes, lakers in 7!
😂😂
real shi
@@EastunderI’ll come back to this comment when lakers win the series
I lovvvve him he so confident and he has it but he loves to take them threes when he makes them it good but everyone makes mistakes he's a great member of th team
lts good that he realised the passive Coldwell Pope affect.Good luck with game 5 lf Lakers unite as a Team that always have a chance
Ready for DLO spectacular performance in Game 5 at Denver. He going for 2/14 FG and 4 points.
I BET MY HOUSE
im coming for your house when he gets 0 pts
depends on how many plays he could get, if the first few falls off, the ball will never get to him anymore, simple as that. If you ever play a basketball before, you know how this get to you when it comes to confident. This game I feel fortunate is he had the ball on his hand on the 4th quarter, all his cut really cause a lot of damange to Denver in my opinion...while he has so much doubt on him from outside, his play continued to give trust to his other team mates, if you watch carefully. The pass to Gab, the pass to Rui, he made few mistakes and glad he managed to recover from that. Again, he still the best choice if looking around the Lakers' square. So he just need to continue living up for his own interest, not yours or anybody...we should continue believing on them, that's it FAN BOY
He’s not, I honestly think he’s gonna play even better in game 5, becuz with game 4 he played good and WON, that gives him a lot more confidence comin into game 5 and if you know anything about basketball it’s confidence
imma be back here to take your house
Hahahahaha 😂 @@riveenwickenham8392
Saying I dont' need that in so obvious that he does not like Darvin Ham.
I don't like that response when he was asked about Ham still believing in him
bro be so fresh man
I hope they carry that consistency to next one the really need it
Go get it DLO they need ya!
Nice Hat 🥳 you go DLo, Great effort productivity is good, humble , and stay safe positive and strong minded !
God is good
Dlo is a good PG just need to keep scoring and not miss to win the game! Lakers in 7
To God be the glory!7x
Bringing DLo back after last year is Lakers problem. LeGm's biggest career downfall was teaming up with Westbrook & passing up on DeRozan.
To say "I don't NEED that" because I believe in myself? Every player needs that! The confidence and belief in you from the coach is priceless! Dlo is tough but also a pos! He was supposed to show love to his coach and he basically said thank you but no thank you..smh.
You're So sensitive 🥺 ! He's a world-class athlete , he has been working on his craft for decades ! He said he appreciated the compliment ...what do YOU feel he should've said ? 🤔
Tell me if im lying... when DLo do the tip toe back pedal after a shot you kinda know it'll be that kind of night 💪🏼😤🔥
Yall forget he got zero points and was scrolling on his phone instead of in the huddle just 1 game before this ?
@brysonraile8395 Yeah but we don't have anyone else that impact the game like he do. No real other 3rd option.
@@xxkingxdijonxx8118 the thing that scares me is even when d lo played well, we still lost man... pretty sure he had like 30 game 1 or 2. Im all for this comeback but its gonna be hard!! with that being said im excited for next game.
@spectre8469 Yeah I agree. The only thing is Murray made a fall away jump shot to win it. Those things happen like 1 in every 10 games.
@@xxkingxdijonxx8118 true man, im hoping this series gets extended 7 games. Its game by game at the moment for these laker guys.
His hat is 🔥
As a lakers fan from the start of this season I’ve been saying REBUILD
People hyping up lakers in 7 really believe DLO will show up 3 straight games. They really do. Don't convince them they're stupid.
Wish this doesn't age well. 1 game at a time will see how it turns out.
He played great in game two, but they still blew it. Good teams can overcome a bad night, by a role player.
Thats the thing, DLO comes through and suddenly people meat ride him and get convinced Lakers in 7. Bruh as Kobe Lakers Fan… I must share that consistency is key.
Can DLO show up for a 1 game? Sure.
Can DLO show up for 3 games in a row/ 2 of them are Road Games? IDK.
Role Players play better at Home… then it was a coincidence and Luck they won game 4.
Hachi needs to step it up also!!!
It’s funny how he talk about a win now but where was his game 3 post interview ??? 😅😅😅
Deangelo baby Russell 😂 step yo Game up Man.
dlo please play the same way for next game
🔥🔥🔥🔥
🔥
Nobody beats LA 12 times in a row
The running me off like I'm Steph Curry comment says it all about how much respect the players have for him.
Laker fans want dlo to play like steve nash but be the 3rd best player on the team.
Im pretty sure lakers fans just want him to literally just carry his season averages into the post season... acting like people are wrong for getting mad at him shooting 10% is autistic.
Correction: bron fans
The 3rd best player always plays inconsistent on a LeBron led team. Bosh, Love, Westbrook!
They just want him to drop 15-20 ppg
@@lennybeason1110the 3rd best player is inconsistent on any team but I think moreso with D-Lo because he is a one dimensional player. When he doesn't score, his ability to contribute in other ways is pretty much non-existent. Even when Bosh and Love were the 3rd option, they found other ways to contribute when their shot was not falling. This should be true for all ball players when you don't have it going offensively.
Dlo doesn’t need to score 30 a night, he just has to be consistent. 18 and 5 a night is all they need from him
JJ Reddick talks about guys who don't have a good routine being inconsistent. I wonder if thats D-Lo's issue. He's among a group of very few guys that can vacillate between playing at an All Star level and playing at a G-League level.
it took all 4 guys lebron, ad, dlo and reaves for the lakers to win. its gon be hard to duplicate that
yup, thanks!!!!!!!! finally, someone who speaks facts and some sense. Its possible but very improbable and hard
Yea it's over STILL, The books just tryna milk this series up that's all
what do u mean 😂 on denver side it’s the same, jokic, murray, porter and gordon, it took 4 guys too in able to win.
If you look at Denver stats, All their starters had similar numbers except Aaron Gordon
Denver too.. Murray went silent and they lost by 11 points
DLo’s got the best bedroom voice in the NBA tbh
Weirdo
Lakers in 7 or gonna be nuggets in 6
Wishful thinking brother
@@EL-us6jb bro its either denver in 5 or denver in 6 delusion
@@XxxRedDevilxX lol didn’t say it he did
I agree.
No. Just no lol
The disrespect of darvin ham is outrageous
gotta do it again & then work on your game this off szn. we think you are a star player tbh
Lakers win this series if they are play defense ,and triangle offense ad,bron and him
It’s a difficult thing to accept blame for not contributing/performing better… Pressure is a MF. My question is how do you become one of the one’s that is a consistent scorer. Double figures is what we need. Shot ain’t working drive the ball become an assist maker. Stop being a turn over machine. These things help your team. It’s not just about talent. Energy and effort helps build chemistry. Dlo, you can be a hellava and are a hellava player which is why you’re in the league. But all teams know you’re a shooter first so that what they expect from you. But keep them off balance and drive the ball get to the free throw line which will help your spacing. I’m not saying anything you don’t know already.
They hate u 1min then love u the next.
kept that same core team that played tonight game, if coach F it up the next game /they are pure done !
laker fans gotta be the most bi polar fans in history...
Lakers fans not the problem. It’s delusional Lebron fans that’s bi polar.
If D'angelo can go 25/10 the rest of the series then the Lakers have a good chance to win the series. They'll definitely win if Rui scores more than 20 points per game.
One more game and it's off to the Wizards! Lid, shades... the whole nine yards!
😂 that was a low blow
Haters always blame dlo …not only dlo problem rui all bench they not show only dlo not afraid to shoot
Dlo’s play shouldn’t determine if they win. He’s the 3 and the bench scored like 14 points. The Scapegoat for Lebron is dlo and he knows that
love when they act like it isnt just a coin toss that he either plays well or like absolute garbage
It’s almost like he’s trying to tell us something with this post game interview, as if he’s saying the first games he wasn’t allowed to play good?
This is on AD shoulders.
Oh now he wanna show up after he skipped two of these after a bad performance and a loss? He's the literal definition of a front runner in every aspect 🤦🏾♂️
Denver gave them life now if Lakers somehow win game 4 well…its going to be down 🔥
I'm afraid him and AR won't repeat that performance and the lakers will lose..... DLo is a good guy but hes always been a streaky PG.
Nika got Renee dawg
For someone that has so many bad shooting nights in the playoffs he sure doesn’t come prepared to answer questions after the game when he goose eggs it
A. Gordon only had seven points. Guess what, the Nuggets didn't make him a scapegoat. If Porter has a bad game, they adjust. Good teams don't win or lose, only based on a role player.
Dlo fans bragging after that horrendous 0pt game 3...just a new level of stinking up the joint. The final score was 112 to 105...all we needed was 10pts from our starting point guard SMH
Yo role not small d lo think big play big you can contribute just as much as bron and ad you already did it before you remember when bron and ad was out and you guys beat the Celtics!
Nugz in 5! No biggie
A "small little role"? That's what he considers his role to be? They don't win without a great performance from him, that's not a "small little role"!! 😂
Yeah but Bron and AD don’t let him cook like that
Regular schedule!!!!
Dude sounds like Kyrie.
We want you shipped out. We losing either way !
We like Dlo but if you score zero point in a game we will talk. We just need little bit more than zero point. Is that too much to ask for?
He only took 7 shots shooting 6 3s! If you’re off that night you’re not going to have big stats!
@@lennybeason1110big facts, you want him to hoop give him some touches at least
When they lose to the nuggets in Denver he getting traded too
NO MORE PARTIES IN LA
Future Shanghai sharks, if he dont perform
With the curse broken, hopefully the Lakers can copy and paste their game plan into Game 5...I just dropped a reaction to this game on my channel! Come check it out! Let me know what you think! 🔥🔥🔥
He’ll go 1-17 game 5
😅he started rapping *i was uninspired since lauryn hill retired,.....back to a regular schedule programming* its nomorepartiesinLA by kanye
It was the hair. I told you drop that zesty man bun bs
Rui made some bad plays and got benched. I hope he plays better next game.
The Lakers are going to have to trade D Angelo Russell because what he did in game 3 was let his team down so sad
Dlo really the key for the Lakers to win. Lebron can’t win it for the lakers anymore.
Dim-witted comment 🤦🏽♂️
LeGm already traded him and he doesn’t even know it yet 😂
Lets be real. Denver let the Lakers have 1 so nobody can say LBJ got swept 2 years in a row XD
How when joker had a triple double? 😅you sound like a hater on the front line
Respectfully he's too inconsistent... when he's on it's a game or 2 of great highlights but when he's almost drags the team down too. I mean costly turnovers, defensive liability... good game but he needs 4 more like this or better
Dlo i need you to keep chewing that mouth piece into another dimension.. it helps you find your inner steph..
1 good game after a 3 game no show ain't bouncing back. It's only a desperate win begore Gentleman's sweep
Yeah he's bad. But he's not the main guys, only 3rd wheel at the most. Question Bron and AD for not shoping up 3 games. They all disappeared in 4th, especially AD
What is that on his head?!
Deez nuts
Bonnet
Mono brow needs to get humbled
Dlo play great but our poise won us the game
Where is the Ham and D lo hate? It was they fault yall been losing right? So we giving them the win?
theres no way hes gonna play good for 3 str8 games
I wouldn’t call it a bounce back lmao bounce back when you 3-3
I put 860$ on denver to win tonight. Lakers something else 😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Congratulations, you played yourself!
Sorry bout that!
Dude going fishing?
Dlo play well game 2 n they still lose tho
Goof troop
The Lakers could've been preparing for their next opponent, but their coach sabotaged them multiple x. Two players had to beg their awful coach to use their challenge
NGL every time Bron had the ball Dlo shrugged and gave up on Offense, it's gonna be tough @ Denver.
This dude is not built for the Laker pressure.
What do u want from your third option? U want him playing like luka?
@AP90x nah we want him to play like DLo and at least average his season average 18 or more and not give us 0. Nobody asking him to be Luka bro
You know the playoffs are different? It's a different pressure. You lose, you'll be gone for 6 months, and may lose millions in the process
So is yo man Bron
Playing against a good team give him some slack dog!
So glad this jacko ain’t a Timberwolf any more. How do you go from scoring 0, to how he played tonight?
Beta energy.
Did this guy drop a quote again? If so expect a stinker next game.
Dlo plays well -> says something arrogant -> shits the bed next game -> repeat
Hey Nugs in 5 stop this nonsense
