    He’s so bad. He’s such complete and utter garbage it’s not even funny.

  2. antlicious

    we’re cooked… our core needs to show up for game 2

  3. i mean…if you 100% need a player that is known for shitting the bed in the playoffs to win, youre going to have a bad time

  4. Consistent_Owl4593

    Player option it is Orlando just deleted his number

  5. onlymostlydeadd

    It’s not even Denver Dlo, this is just fucking Dlo. He’s never been particularly good in the playoffs, he’s just not worth it.

  6. How do you justify leaving him in shooting like this and not being able to keep up with Murray. At least give max a shot or someone because jesus

  7. Ok_Board9845

    It’s really bad if D’Lo’s shot isn’t falling. Because everytime he drives, he has to either flip it up quick enough so it doesn’t get blocked resulting in a really weird inconsistent floater, or it just gets blocked if he tries to lay it in regularly

  8. Bright_Obligation_56

    Trade D’lo for Boban Marjanovic at this point and have him shooting threes. Atleast we’ll laugh.

  9. CoreyFromXboxOne

    If he would have just hit 2 or 3 more of those…

  10. yellouder

    I just don’t understand it, most of his looks were good-excellent.

  11. MasterpieceCultural4

    His form changes whenever he’s facing denver. No follow through and wonky balance. Obviously mental. His mind is the problem

  12. NobelRafael1

    Damn. He’s like the opposite of Murray. One elevates his game and the other shits the bed.

  13. Whether you like it or not the Lakers need DLo to win this series. So let’s lift up our players and move on to the next game. The Lakers weren’t gonna take two games on the road. If they win next game it’s a split and the series is different.

    Minutes

    DLO: 39

    Dinwiddie: 13

    Vincent: 8

    The Lakers have the dumbest coach on Earth.

  15. Optimal-Poet

    He’s the equivalent of Kershaw in the postseason. 🤦🏽‍♂️

  16. I_RIDE_SHORTSKOOLBUS

    All the I told you so folk who have been hiding in their little holes during this epic dlo second half run this season. Y’all were totally quiet last 2 months amazing here you are now. All you captain hindsights. Let’s see if he bounces back next game and if so what y’all will be saying.

  17. vongoladecimo_

    His effort on D is what really makes it infuriating to watch. KCP’s always a step ahead of him off ball, he doesn’t even try to make up for it.

    Then on offense he tried so hard to shoot his way out of his slump, preventing him from playmaking.

  18. thelennybeast

    Okay let’s not kill him yet and crush any chance he has to turn it around.

    Show me something in G2, Dlo

  19. Miniminterburner

    Bro was bricking lay ups and floaters too 😭😭😭

  20. Bounce back DLO. Prove them wrong one more time.

  21. AffectionateFeature1

    Not only just the shooting, but the decision making is bad wtf was that

  22. NBATakesGOAT

    This is just playoff D’lo, happens every single time

  23. akgamestar

    He needs to stop running screens with AD. They never get the switch or the lob. Screen with Bron.

  24. IcyAuthor1

    Man we would have won if dlo play half his minutes and take half his shots . Ham is ass just for letting this happen terrible coach

  25. EverybodyBuddy

    It is what it is. D’lo is not our third star. Trade him.

  26. DeepCleaner42

    He couldnt be more DLo than that performance

  27. Apart-Bad-5446

    The sad part is most of those shots were open shots or easy shots.

    Layups were missed because he’s trying to be fancy.

    Threes were missed that were wide open.

    I’ve lost confidence in D’Lo and I think the Lakers will eventually have to move on from him.

    It’s one thing to underperform in the playoffs. It’s another when the team clearly kept you out there so you can gain your confidence back but you continue wetting the bed.

    How does this dude sleep at night knowing he’s the reason the Lakers have lost to the Nuggets 0-5 in all playoffs games?

  28. Does dlo have some sort of mental block in the playoffs? Maybe he should try counseling?

  29. Holiday-Date7201

    He’s gotta get benched

    It’s simple

    But ham is a shit coach so I expect him to start again

  30. mamba-pear

    It’s ok to lose to the better team guys.

    See Denver first round in 2008 with Melo/AI.

    But this was such an important game with the way the Lakers were playing in the first half.

    Denver is simply better and more under control on top of having the best player and the best guard.

  31. TheRealPewdiePi3

    I STILL HAVE HOPE IN DLO I STILL BELIEVE! REVENGE GAME GAME 2! PLS DLO I NEED YOU

  32. lakers22ballin

    i turned off the game after the third qaurter you could see all the players sell

    im not watching this series and the rest of the nba playoffs anymore

  33. gameguyguru

    He’s gonna snap out of it this time! Nerves out the way. This wasn’t supposed to be easy

  34. untraiined

    He is who everyone said he was but y’all wanted to keep him because he hits 5 threes against the magic.

    Imagine dejounte right now actually guarding murray and matching up vs him.

    And im getting over austin too. Plays no defense and doesnt have any plays on offense 4 years into the league.

    Its time to get some stars.

  35. thepenguin12

    This sub is so negative, shit happens. Stop with the overreaction stuff, y’all, please. 

  36. Agreed_fact

    Up until like 2019 Jamal Murray would come back home and his dad would have him do hill runs to stay in shape. Dude is insane, like a reverse DLo
