*YAWN* What’s that you say? D’Angelo Russell scored 24 and had 6 assists? Wow! That’s so exciting. So very exciting. Now, if you don’t mind me, I’ll just head off back to sleep, you can wake me when he scores 40… I mean, he scored 39 in a game! Last game! Almost everything else that…

D’Angelo Russell Career High 39 Points/8 Threes Full Highlights (3/1/2016)
D’Angelo Russell stood at the door, impatient. This was a nice neighborhood, in fact the nicest in the whole Los Angeles area, but still. He was an NBA player, and who knows what could happen to an NBA player standing outside at midnight. He checked his phone, thought about all the fun he could be…

The Lakers/Kobe must really be messing D’Angelo Russell up. 8 assists is a pretty good amount, but would you believe that it’s his career high? As in, never before tonight had he racked up that many dimes in an NBA-sanction basketball contest. Even Emmanuel Mudiay got more than that in his first game, and that…

Let’s just forget about the “point guard” designation for D’Angelo Russell.

If we’re being honest, our minds unclouded from the scepter of rage, D’Angelo is, objectively, only the fourth or fifth biggest bust ever. Kind of…

This is why we wait ten games before calling someone a bust. Before ten games elapses, applying the bust label to someone just doesn’t make any sense. There is a certain adjustment period that must be granted to young players. After that period elapses, though, the NBA punditry can go to town. The minute the…

This is fine. 13 points in 23 minutes? No need to panic at all right now. D’Angelo Russell will be fine. Absolutely. Just fine. He would be a little finer if he didn’t have to share the ball with the chucker’s row of Bryant, Williams (That signing baffles me continuously. Did they not watch him…
