    I would love that. Good addition for them plus a handful of Bulls/Bucks games since they're in the same division. Trade Delly for cap relief and make it happen.

    He's on pace for 73-74 games this year and he's 2nd in the league in points scored off driving, so the big injuries might finally be behind him.

    That's what I'm hoping, too. I'd honestly rather have d--- near anybody other than Delly.

    True, but it is a huge game in the tank wars..Lakers badly need this L.

    *edit* Plus the inside the NBA crew ripping on the game will probably be entertaining as well.

    I get it, we beat a Spurs team without Kawhi in the 4th.

    We were beating him all game tho, and this is a big win to snap our losing streak.

    Holy s---, Philly sure know show to take tanking to another level...TJ missed a shot with the game tied, Blazers got the board with 23 seconds left, chance to win the game and what does Philly do? They immediately give an intentional foul, WHAT???

    Lol, Sixers are f---in ridiculous...Their coach even pretended to be upset on the sideline, d--- Philly is good at this tanking s--- lol.

    @Kon Sucks we won that, but at least the young guys played great. Since the all-star break D'Angelo has been averaging 21.9 PPG - 3.1 RPG - 5.3 APG - 2.3 SPG.

    Yep he's finally hitting his stride, honestly I was starting to lose hope but it's looking a lot more optimistic now..Still I wanna see that he can do it next year consistently in games where there's more pressure, not just late in the season when wins/losses don't really matter(cept for tanking purposes) and half the teams don't give a s--- anyways.

    Definitely liking what I see though.

    Same argument can be made for a player like Booker. We'll see tho, I just believe the potential and talent is there.

    There are only 4 players under 25 averaging 14ppg & 4.5apg: Kyrie, Giannis, D-LO, Schroder.

    Edit: Also compare his stats to other PGs in their 2nd yr

    Meh you plug Marcus Smart on the Lakers and he comes close to that and hes got a mediocre offensive game at best.

    Never put to much stock in pure scoring numbers of guys playing on bad teams.

    It's not just scoring numbers though, his numbers across the board have been improving and Luke's been praising his leadership too. TOs have been down as well(0 tonight) and his defense even looks slightly better.

    Here are the full stats post all star game:

    Updated Russell stats post-ASB (7 games):

    21.9 PPG
    3.1 RPG
    5.3 APG
    2.3 SPG
    0.3 BPG
    46.9% FG (avg 18.3 attempts per)
    39.3% 3PT (avg 8.0 attempts per)
    78.6% FT (11/14, avg 2.0 attempts per)
    57.0% TS%
    2.7 TOV
    33.0 MPG



    I'm still a long ways from the point of thinking he'll be a stud or even a very good player on a regular basis, but it's still encouraging what he's been doing in this small sample of games, it's the most consistent stretch he's put together so far in his career.

    Well if any of you were excited about the Warriors/Spurs game tomorrow night, you might wanna make other plans...



    Leonard isn't playing either for the Spurs, out with a concussion.
