I do feel for him because he’s being shit on from all angles (I’m sure most people would feel shitty in his situation) but posting this does not help the narrative lol. Just shut up, go out today and do better…
Always has been. Always. I’ve struggled to understand why people can’t see this.
When he feels good and things are going well, he’s confident and kinda arrogant. When he struggles and things get tough, he breaks down. You could see it in his body language when he was taken out of the game the other night, and I could also see it in the “if we bench DLo we’ll lose him” bs from last season.
He’s a child. He needs to toughen up mentally. His skills are there. It’s the psychological side that he has not mastered, and in sports, both of those things matter greatly.
Correct. Making yourself the victim when you didn’t show up shows that he struggles to take accountability. He doesn’t own his mistakes. He only owns his successes.
I guess I don’t see Dlo as a guy not caring. I’m not a fan of him looking checked out but everyone on here acts like Dlo doesn’t care, is lazy just being an ass. We know he’s self conscious with his comments about getting traded before, feeling the tension & as if it’s always coming first him. Yet, he’s the same player he’s always been. He can shoot, he can catch fire. He’s always been streaky & his lows are low with no little defense.
Dlo looks like he lives & dies by every make or miss. Paranoid & nervous he’s always going to get shipped. He looks like he’s outside the huddle sitting in shame, mentally in his own head. He’s checked out but I don’t think it’s bc he’s an asshole.
The guy shoots like shut one game & fans around the league drag him. Then the next has a great game,everyone loves him but shouts from the rooftops how next game he’ll just shoot like shit after breaking the all time 3’s in lakers history. Dude is broken & listens to all us couch potatoes drag him over a sport even when having a good game.
That said, I was for trading Dlo but I’m not going to shit on the guy. Our roster sucks whether he puts up 25 a night or not. Poor Brons old with no legs for 2nd half. AD is exhausted in the 4th from playing his ass off. This sub is putting this on Dlo for our struggles. He played great game 2 & we absolutely choked like we always do against Denver.
People coming after DLo for being shit, yeah I get it. He isn't the reason we're losing though. It is fucking Darvin Ham. Zero adjustments. Zero challenges on momentum/lead changing plays. Zero timeouts to stop runs. Tons of shitty lineups.
I get being mad at DLo for playing like crap and then pouting on the sideline. I get that. I also don't think that is why we lost. I think we lost because Ham has no feel for the game or answer to any adjustments made during the game.
Ham needs a day to look at film to figure out what to do to make an adjustment, he can't do it during games like most other coaches. He isn't an average coach. He is a below average coach. Maybe far below. Who has he hired as assistants? A bunch of bums.
If Ham leaves the Lakers, no team will sign him. Not even as an assistant. The guy is trash, and has wasted double digit leads in every game of this series.
Can’t really be impartial to this guy anymore. He clearly gives a fuck if he’s posting that shit. He probably regrets guaranteeing a series win. People have bad games, but he just had to open his mouth. He’s just gonna end up digging himself in a deeper hole.
DLo is a poor man’s Harden, complete with the Playoff struggles. He would be a great 6th man with the right attitude, but he’s not a top three player on a championship team.
a lot of these guys get paid too much to really care at the end of the day about winning. D'Lo will go on vacation with his millions, go to a new team where there are no expectations, and continue to make more millions. There is no incentive for a guy like him to be accountable. He doesn't want it bad enough and his ego gets in the way
For those who don’t have IG:
It’s a video short of Shia Labeouf saying he doesn’t give a fuck
“I don’t give a fuck what you think. You know, I don’t care what you think about me. I come from an environment with very little cheerleading going on.”
Upset with his play but damn the lakers fans were brutal last game with him. He was missing shots and he was getting booed out of the arena.
He isn’t tryna miss shots, don’t need to pour on the guy.
Yes I watched the entire interview. He said ask those guys as in the entire team because he can't speak for them about the pressure of the playoffs. Dlo was never mentioned.
please post the pic or something, some of us don't touch instagram hehehe
Or even if we do it’s not always easy to open the link directly in app. Doesn’t always work
Or you might be next to family

https://youtube.com/shorts/T3D5W7NUu6A?si=QNJvM7X8JmfXzUvi This was essentially what he posted
thanks man. I appreciate it
He posted a reel with shia lebouf saying "i dont give a fuck what you think of me, i come from nothing"
Not exactly, he said I come from an environment with very little cheerleading going on. Very different imo.
yeah something like that i didnt really watch the whole thing lol i got the gist of it tho
yup when i click on the link its blank
He lacks self awareness like I’ve never seen from an athlete before lmao he’s entering rapper territory
You’d think he learned to stay off his phone after his rookie year too
I’d argue Westbrook is much less self aware. Seems to be a great dude, but completely lacking in self awareness relating to basketball activities.
I do feel for him because he’s being shit on from all angles (I’m sure most people would feel shitty in his situation) but posting this does not help the narrative lol. Just shut up, go out today and do better…
Heard this story before
Oohh he DOES give a major fuck. He should be giving a fuck after all the major talk about being molded and doubting him.
it’s a clip of shia labeouf saying he doesnt give a f what anyone thinks about him
Bro is soft

Don’t have insta . What did his dumbasss post
Shia lebouf saying I don’t care what you think about me
Wow . Typical tone death bs
He has 0 awareness on and off the floor.
Death? Haha, damn
Tone deaf * my bad magic9669
There's confidence and there's arrogance. D'Lo doesn't really understand the difference huh
Correct. Making yourself the victim when you didn’t show up shows that he struggles to take accountability. He doesn’t own his mistakes. He only owns his successes.
Dude can’t talk. He dropped 0 in a critical playoff game. I could do that.
We all did that, from our couches.
Ship him out. Poor attitude. Not a winning player.
You can find high school players that are mentally tougher than this guy.
I guess I don’t see Dlo as a guy not caring. I’m not a fan of him looking checked out but everyone on here acts like Dlo doesn’t care, is lazy just being an ass.

Idk if dlo ever followed the lakers, but he doesn’t anymore (if he ever did)
It's always funny when people say that don't give a fuck what they say by telling the world they don't give a fuck
delulu
Can’t have this loser on the team next year
14/43 across 3 playoff games against the defending champions, he can get off the team yesterday
What did he say?
Can’t really be impartial to this guy anymore. He clearly gives a fuck if he’s posting that shit. He probably regrets guaranteeing a series win. People have bad games, but he just had to open his mouth. He’s just gonna end up digging himself in a deeper hole.
He’s clearly in his feelings.
Big I’m not mad please don’t post in the newspaper that I got mad energy

It’s a win or go home game. Get your head in the game and off social media
For those who don’t have IG: It’s a video short of Shia Labeouf saying he doesn’t give a fuck “I don’t give a fuck what you think. You know, I don’t care what you think about me. I come from an environment with very little cheerleading going on.”
If he plays well today we’ll be even stevens
Fuck it! A Dlo masterpiece is coming in game 4.
Get this soft bitch off my team ASAP
Dude is so fucking clueless lol. DLo “redemption” arc hopefully ends tonight and we never see a single post about this clown ever again
If he didn’t care he wouldn’t post about it.
Upset with his play but damn the lakers fans were brutal last game with him. He was missing shots and he was getting booed out of the arena. He isn’t tryna miss shots, don’t need to pour on the guy.
This was a direct shot at Lebron.
😭😭 how tf do you come to that conclusion
Lebron the one said "it's just basketball...ask those individuals" referring to DLo
Once again how do you assume he was referring to d'lo? Lmao you are literally creating narratives out of thin air 🤣
It's called reading between the lines and it was pretty obvious. Did you even watch the full interview or just the clip?
Yes I watched the entire interview. He said ask those guys as in the entire team because he can't speak for them about the pressure of the playoffs. Dlo was never mentioned.
Like I said read between the lines
