[Trudell] Darvin Ham on D’Angelo Russell: “He went through a full practice today and we expect him to be available for tomorrow.” Russell will return to the starting lineup, with Schröder back to the bench. Ham added Schröder will still be in the mix to finish games.

That bit at the end worries me a little bit.. back to the small ass lineups if both Dennis and DLo are on the court together.
Crazy that Dlo’s last main game with the lakers was the Like I Never Left game…feels so long ago
Also, Dennis gonna feast on the backup point guards
Lesgoooo Leagues fucked
This makes the most sense. Our second unit will be better with DS speed off the bench and allow AD to get a few more mins.
Just need a backup center…

Dennis deserves big minutes still
A closing lineup of AD/Vando/Troy/Reaves/ and either Dennis or Dlo is nice
A good DLo is the difference between first round exit and making som serious noise imo. Hoping for good health and chemistry
Man I wonder how our defense will fare but our offense will get boosted fs
Can’t wait.
Mashallah league is doomed
And out goes Mo, a life* for a life*
*ankle
Lebron and dlo only played 1 game together basically, the team hasn’t shown its true potential and were already winning games
Skys the limit
We will need him against Toronto
This is good. I’m not sure it D’lo and Schroder on the floor together is a problem but think the 2nd unit without a ball handler is
It looks like Ham has finally came to his senses. He’s been making smart coaching decisions.
I don’t want dennis in most closing lineups. Not trying to trash him because he’s been good, but I’d rather have AR and DLo to close.
Dennis is a great team guy for this run. He steps up to the starter and closing roles when you need him, and is willing to go back to the bench as asked. My favorite guy on the squad this year.
Time for D’lo to prove he’s worth a contract.
About. Damn. Time.
Schroder balled last game he’s super streaky though
Perfect timing to beat Toronto and NYC and get to 0.500? It’s actually intriguing to see how this team will perform even without LeBron.
AR and Schroder controlling the 2nd unit, both available and very capable to step up situationally to close as needed. Sounds pretty damn great to me.
Clearly, schroder is now darvin’s favorite
Gonna pour a nice whiskey tomorrow night to celebrate
I really hope ARs minutes remain the same. He’s so valuable especially when ADs on the court
God bro every time I see the name “Russell” in a post or report I get PTSD
Ahhhhhhhh😤😤😤
Let’s gooooo!
Dennis can finally rest lmao
Lowkey kinda sad about Russell returning, because it might spell less time for Reaves, who’s been making **huge** plays for us down the stretch. Alas, knowing Ham we’ll still see a lot of him because of his 3-4 guard lineups LOL
