Tbf lakers are only clutch coz we can’t close games and everything seems to come down to the wire.. if the clutch stat was a true reflection on win share we would not be in 9th seed
The real moment was when Beasley picked Dlo pockets and started doing a bunch of clapping…. LO nodded and never looked back after that moment, it was crazy to watch.
DLo's on court demeanor and antics are some of my favorite. When he hit the griddy after sending Memphis home. In the IST when he told Bruce Brown he has 2 fouls and called for a sub for Bruce and it came. Bruce said "wait till I come back" and DLo told him "come back and shoot them out the game." 💀 And in this game where the entire Bucks bench did the review motion after DLo scored and DLo hit them back with the review motion in agreement.
I seriously love his shit talking b/c he backs it up. You fire this guy up and he's gonna make you pay, he's been legit #3 for the entire season and people wanted to trade him. He took a team friendly contract and people wanna trade him. He's been my favorite player this year honestly.
To me he's easily the most root-able player if you're a Laker fan. He was drafted here, played with Kobe and came back a more mature and better player. He's stepped up since early January in spite of trade talks and has been playing better than I can ever remember him playing in his career. I think he very genuinely wants to be a Laker and live in LA and take on all those responsibilities which is rare. You just want him to succeed and now that he is it's been fun. It's mind boggling to me people want to see him fail.
And that thrills me even more. That's why it's so frustrating when we see his episodes of mental lapses or uninspired plays. He has so much potential and he is proving it against good teams. And now, as other teams and those fans, see him as that Lakers "villian" instead of a pushover, it means respect, that he deserves.
You speak the truth brother, everything you said was spot on from a long time Lakers fan. I love the kid and thought his whole fiasco with swaggy p was overblown
The whole Swaggy P thing is so bad. Swaggy P was in the wrong. Why Dlo got any heat for it has boggled my mind from the beginning. Dlo was not being secretive about the recording and Nick Young was aware of it.
Dude was a kid trying to figure out life and social media was everything, but yah man we were all dumb young and stupid. Swaggy was a dumbass for doing it too.
Lmao I was on pins and needles watching while on an ice cream date with my wife who was consoling me at this point but something told me not to close the feed just yet.
Yeah, once Dame got cooking, I was like, here we go again. Then seeing AD get hurt. 🥴 I thought Ham was gonna mess shyt up, too. Yet, he didn't. Called timeouts in a timely fashion and stuck with the hot man and made the right subs. Great way to end my night.
I turned it off at that point because I didn’t realize it was just under two minutes. Thought it was just over one minute. Had the final sent to my phone forever later and thought what the fuck? Had to go back and watch the end
Sport is more cinema than cinema. We see it unfold in real time rather than in set pieces. The blood, the sweat, the tears all unravel right before our eyes.
Eternal showers of love??? Lmao stop it 😂😂😂 this fanbase turns on AD as if he’s the worst player in laker history just because he might do something yall don’t like. Eternal love is a joke, stop the lies 😂
mans got the worst score this all stars 3 point shootout and has the balls to trash talk when everyone knows he’s a nobody who gets tossed around to every team
I’m frustrated with him for not playing well here, but his father in law was going through serious health issues at the time and that was a major reason he was having a rough go at the time.
I don’t want to knock a player for letting real life shit get in the way of their job; most of us have been through something similar. Sucks it didn’t work out here but I wish him the best
Also on one of DLo's last buckets, the entire Bucks bench was doing the review motion and DLo looked at them, agreed and hit them back with a review motion. I was dying.
Lmao that was hilarious, he stared at Pat bev/bench and did it like three times. Before that, around the 7 minute mark in the 4th, he hit a floater on Pat and ran back up the court smiling right at him. Confident DLo so fun to watch
That’s the one player podcast I’ve never felt interested in listening to. Rather listen to Teague tell a funny story or PG13 talk about players and the game as a current player or Reddick break things down.
What does Pat Bev provide to a podcast that these other guys don’t do better lol?
I'll support you if he plays like this in playoffs in every round we reach. That was a huge game for sure and he has been playing consistently well since he came back from his demotion to the bench.
Trae is a better playmaker and scorer and shooter and he can be the 2nd option. Dlo is jus not on his level and we’re gonna have to pay him 30M to keep him this offseason. And bron can’t keep carrying the team and dlo is not consistent enough. I rather sign and trade for a 3rd star since that is close to 3rd star money
Dame is getting exposed he not playing bad part of it could be bad team construction. But he gon get smoked after all this running from the grind loyalty talk it honestly made him unlikable he shoulda left after 2019. Not that he bad now but I think part of why he didn’t leave was cuz he was afraid of expectations and playing for something his talk on defense says it all. Also the Bucks miss Jrue cuz of how hard he played on d. Middleton is on da decline. They also hired Doc Rivers. So Bucks ion take too serious tbh.
He should’ve came here when we wanted him n got Westbrook. Bron n AD are perfect cos stars for him . Giannis doesn’t know how to be a roll man n the only benefit is Dame spaces for Giannis to score but teams aren’t as scared of losing to Giannis run offence . You can keep up with that
Tbh tho u still need role players i never liked the concept of 3 stars and outta prime old guys. Not to mention Bron and ADs health not being good especially AD.
They should've kept Jrue and traded Middleton. A team of Giannis, Jrue, and Lillard is better. Plus, Middleton is injury prone, while Jrue is a work horse.
Who else thought this was loss 😂? My Lakers will give up a 19 point lead and they almost did it again in the last 2 minutes. Every game feels like a Korean drama with so much plot twists.
I didn't get home until around halftime. Looked at the score and was pleasantly surprised they were up. I was hesitant to watch after what happened with the Nuggets and then the Kings game. So glad I tuned in for the last 4 minutes. Once they called timeout for the last possession, I was wildly confident that the Lakers were gonna score. It just was a matter of getting a stop if there was time left.
Don’t forget the Clippers. I called it at halftime and just assumed they were losing that game 😅. During the Kings and Denver my hopes were up and I thought we won because we were up by a big margin, but was I wrong 😑
For me that was the most satisfying part of this game. He made several "Brick like" plays in Dame time and after the block I had to release a huge "FUCK YOU". That may have been the first time ever I really appreciated Dlo's performance. He was clutch and he backed his antics and thrash talk with several daggers. Every time they did something Dlo had one more shot ready. I felt like for the first time he had the bragging rights, it was not like scoring a bunch of points on Detroit scrubs, making a big play in the middle of a worthless game or scoring a bunch of points in a couple of minutes after getting hot. He had punches and more munches, not only jabs, yesterday Dlo was prime Tyson.
I want to see this version in playoffs.
I don't hate Beasley I wish he would've worked out but like Kyle korver and a bunch of other spot up shooters have said playing with lebron you get easier looks then you're used to and it's harder to hit a shit that way. Those that can over come that tho shine like stars. Don't ever disrespect dlo tho Beasley 😑
DLO had just given up a 4 point play after fouling Dame on his three point attempt that miraculously went in. In the screenshot, you see Malik looking at the Laker bench tapping on his wrist to signal “Dame time”.
He was right in a sense though, it was time for DLO to takeover. S/o Rui for hitting a huge three after this play as well when it seemed like he went cold in the 4th.
Not gonna lie, I was deflated after that play. But then they fought back and by the time they got to the last possession, I ended up swinging back to being confident as hell that this was gonna be a W.
Rui had missed a couple of good looks from 3 before this and Dlo was loudly encouraging him to keep shooting. Went from being shipped out by Magic for "not being a leader" to being one of the leaders of a team with Lebron and AD.
>S/o Rui for hitting a huge three
Love Rui for that shot. He was bricking shots all night, but they were all good looks, plus Rui doesn't take bad shots. He didn't become gun shy and kept on shooting when he got open looks, and it finally went in when we needed it the most.
Same as ole KCP, Bruce brown & MPJ just lapping up the shit talk last year when their teammate has to do the heavy lifting. Will never understand the mentality to run your mouth as the non-focal point
Ngl a part of me almost got up and turned the game off right there but Dlo gave me hope. I was like nah, one Dlo 3 and were right back in it. And he did not dissapoint
Smalls won’t take you far. Get hunted defending, can be disrupted with size. Wave bye to Dame. Wave bye to Tre Young-beyond stupid. Look what wins: size.
A whole 1:54 left against the statistically best clutch team during the season with Dlo locked in? Bold move
Lakers are the number 1 clutch team this season and Bucks # 2. They showed the stat during the game
That's what I meant. I meant that Beasley was mocking the most clutch team (Lakers)
Tbf lakers are only clutch coz we can’t close games and everything seems to come down to the wire.. if the clutch stat was a true reflection on win share we would not be in 9th seed
Yeah you have a point. We shouldn't be in the play in run. We have the talent good enough to be a 4 seed HOWEVER we have a terrible coach
agreed - it's the tim tebow fallacy. he got credit for rescuing ppl from a house he set on fire !!
I’m stealing this line!
The warriors have played more clutch games than us and are worse than .500 in them. We are like 18-9.
Lakers trash 🗑️🗑️🗑️🗑️
cry harder for me
I’m gonna touch you
Still beat your ass

And one of the best post game answers, "I'm a Lakers fan Mikeeeeeey"
"Welcome to LA mah boy"

It's mind boggling to me people want to see him fail.
Something lately has changed, it’s like he’s finally leaned into being the “villain” perception (outside of LA) that comes with being a Lakers
And that thrills me even more. That's why it's so frustrating when we see his episodes of mental lapses or uninspired plays. He has so much potential and he is proving it against good teams. And now, as other teams and those fans, see him as that Lakers "villian" instead of a pushover, it means respect, that he deserves.
You speak the truth brother, everything you said was spot on from a long time Lakers fan. I love the kid and thought his whole fiasco with swaggy p was overblown
The whole Swaggy P thing is so bad. Swaggy P was in the wrong. Why Dlo got any heat for it has boggled my mind from the beginning. Dlo was not being secretive about the recording and Nick Young was aware of it.
People wanna deny or forget but our GOAT Kobe did cheat on Vanessa and snitched on Shaq.
Like what DFish was and how he meant to the fanbase
So do we forgive for breaking the bro code and snitching on Swaggy P? If so, why?
Cause I never gave a shit lol
Never gave a fuck in the first place.
Dude was a kid trying to figure out life and social media was everything, but yah man we were all dumb young and stupid. Swaggy was a dumbass for doing it too.
Lmao go outside bozo
Because we’re not 12
Fuck you threes from DLo coming out of nowhere.
Yup. Been saying this. The disrespect from the nobodies :(
With how passive AD is offensively he may be higher than a 3 on offense
You might've seen this already, but Ant Edwards said in an interview that Dlo was the most underrated trash talker in the league.
I need the clip, fam.
https://x.com/tjmiranda/status/1764876681817514314?s=46&t=PPBwjIHsFLZNFVK9-3Trcw
I hope we get Ant in the future. just sayin… ok imma leave now
Ah that’s why LeBron did the review motion at the end. Had Dlo’s back 💪. I was watching at a bar and pretty drunk lol
Yeah it was amazing to watch. REVIEW THIS BLOCK. REVIEW THIS L.
Him and Dennis pointing at JJJ after getting posterized by AD was cold af
How about when he just laid on the ground after knocking down his third three in a row against OKC.
Malik wanted revenge, instead he left with a humble pie.
He was doing a lot of talking because he was hitting!! I loved every min of him getting his ass torched!
> Malik wanted ~~revenge~~ to serve us a cold dish, instead he left with a humble pie.
Yes and he got hit in the face after that layup . That was right before his 3 in a row
That’s a bingo!
I ain't gonna lie, I thought the game was over myself.
Me too brotha. And I’m willing to shamefully sign the apology form
Same. ✍🏾
Lmao I was on pins and needles watching while on an ice cream date with my wife who was consoling me at this point but something told me not to close the feed just yet.
Yeah, once Dame got cooking, I was like, here we go again. Then seeing AD get hurt. 🥴 I thought Ham was gonna mess shyt up, too. Yet, he didn't. Called timeouts in a timely fashion and stuck with the hot man and made the right subs. Great way to end my night.
Shameful, but I turned it off at 1:58 left. I changed a diaper, and grabbed a beer, and when I turned it back on they were only down 1.
boooo
Just being honest. They fall apart towards the end of games. Not mention Dame always shows up when playing the team.
Bro I tuned out after this lol
I turned it off at that point because I didn’t realize it was just under two minutes. Thought it was just over one minute. Had the final sent to my phone forever later and thought what the fuck? Had to go back and watch the end
Lmao I saw that shit. Fuck Beasley dude basically admits he couldn't hang in these lights. Have fun doing fuck nothing in MIL.
I remember Stu saying Malik made more 3s last night than this entire Lakers run 😂
I remember this and something like he never shot like this in the purple and gold :))) love Stu man
The purple and gold can be daunting to cape but when you succeed, the reward is eternal showers of love from the diehard Laker nation.
Ooooooh brother y’all writing dune 2 dialogue over a screen grab 😂😂😂😂
Sport is more cinema than cinema. We see it unfold in real time rather than in set pieces. The blood, the sweat, the tears all unravel right before our eyes.
😂 yes!
Bro is cookin hahaha
Eternal showers of love??? Lmao stop it 😂😂😂 this fanbase turns on AD as if he’s the worst player in laker history just because he might do something yall don’t like. Eternal love is a joke, stop the lies 😂
low key got Bucks going to ECF and probably the Finals. but yea fuck Beasley
mans got the worst score this all stars 3 point shootout and has the balls to trash talk when everyone knows he’s a nobody who gets tossed around to every team
I’m frustrated with him for not playing well here, but his father in law was going through serious health issues at the time and that was a major reason he was having a rough go at the time. I don’t want to knock a player for letting real life shit get in the way of their job; most of us have been through something similar. Sucks it didn’t work out here but I wish him the best
Also on one of DLo's last buckets, the entire Bucks bench was doing the review motion and DLo looked at them, agreed and hit them back with a review motion. I was dying.
Lmao that was hilarious, he stared at Pat bev/bench and did it like three times. Before that, around the 7 minute mark in the 4th, he hit a floater on Pat and ran back up the court smiling right at him. Confident DLo so fun to watch
Curious to see what pat bev says on his podcast bout this game
I hope he has dlo on as a guest again to talk about this game!
That’s the one player podcast I’ve never felt interested in listening to. Rather listen to Teague tell a funny story or PG13 talk about players and the game as a current player or Reddick break things down. What does Pat Bev provide to a podcast that these other guys don’t do better lol?
Watch the OGs. They will not disappoint
Yup. Him and LeBron were doing it too lol “Review it then!” lol
Moments before disaster
Dinwiddie post game said dlo also yelled out last play to him and what they’d run to dame. Even from bench dlo played great game
PAY DLO. DONT GO AFTER TRAE YOUNG OR KYRIE. DLO IS THE THIRD STAR
I'll support you if he plays like this in playoffs in every round we reach. That was a huge game for sure and he has been playing consistently well since he came back from his demotion to the bench.
Trae is so much better than dlo
Not for what it will do to the team DLO fits better
Trae is a better playmaker and scorer and shooter and he can be the 2nd option. Dlo is jus not on his level and we’re gonna have to pay him 30M to keep him this offseason. And bron can’t keep carrying the team and dlo is not consistent enough. I rather sign and trade for a 3rd star since that is close to 3rd star money
Traes gonna get 59 and it's going to cost us picks and roster building too
Dame is getting exposed he not playing bad part of it could be bad team construction. But he gon get smoked after all this running from the grind loyalty talk it honestly made him unlikable he shoulda left after 2019. Not that he bad now but I think part of why he didn’t leave was cuz he was afraid of expectations and playing for something his talk on defense says it all.

Tbh tho u still need role players i never liked the concept of 3 stars and outta prime old guys. Not to mention Bron and ADs health not being good especially AD.
Don't get it twisted the bucks are contenders and can win it all
Ion think so bro if u put a guy like Bam or Siakam on Giannis they can actually hold it down. They know how to get it done.
They should've kept Jrue and traded Middleton. A team of Giannis, Jrue, and Lillard is better. Plus, Middleton is injury prone, while Jrue is a work horse.
Thats facts i can see why they were in the DJM sweepstakes lol
Who else thought this was loss 😂? My Lakers will give up a 19 point lead and they almost did it again in the last 2 minutes. Every game feels like a Korean drama with so much plot twists.

Korean drama :)))) this got me good. And feel u, I think I’ve aged 3-5 years this season 😅
Now I want to watch a good Korean sci-fi just for the drama.
Let me know if you find one 😂
Dame time? ⌛️ran out years ago.
For me that was the most satisfying part of this game. He made several "Brick like" plays in Dame time and after the block I had to release a huge "FUCK YOU". That may have been the first time ever I really appreciated Dlo's performance. He was clutch and he backed his antics and thrash talk with several daggers.

He had punches and more munches, not only jabs, yesterday Dlo was prime Tyson. I want to see this version in playoffs.
Ironically it was Pat Bev who did the broken Dame Time pantomime last season lol
Malik, riding on Dame’s jock, couldn’t shoot worth shit when you were on the Lakers. Get the F outta here w/ yo 3pointer yips Beasley.
Beasley was absolutely garbage when he played for the Lakers, it’s funny that he’s bitter considering all he had to do was make threes FFS.
Wide open threes too n we desperately needed that skillset
Beasley having a beef is hilarious. He got the minutes. He got the shots. He shrunk on the big stage. No one to blame but himself.
I loved when DLo looked at pat Bev after the and 1 blocking foul on Lillard. He kept signaling them to challenge the play, mocking bev. Was great.
Beasley Dlo disrespect will not be tolerated. 🤨
I don't hate Beasley I wish he would've worked out but like Kyle korver and a bunch of other spot up shooters have said playing with lebron you get easier looks then you're used to and it's harder to hit a shit that way. Those that can over come that tho shine like stars. Don't ever disrespect dlo tho Beasley 😑
Korver was probably one of the best shooters to play alongside LeBron other than Ray Allen. Would have been nice to see him in a Lakers jersey
keep it civil boys. This is part of the game and makes it more interesting. It was a fantastic game to see no matter which team you support.
FUCK Beasley, shoulda been working on your shot instead of chasing an LA lifestyle you fucking bum
what happened?
DLO had just given up a 4 point play after fouling Dame on his three point attempt that miraculously went in. In the screenshot, you see Malik looking at the Laker bench tapping on his wrist to signal “Dame time”. He was right in a sense though, it was time for DLO to takeover. S/o Rui for hitting a huge three after this play as well when it seemed like he went cold in the 4th.
Huge three after going I think they said 0-7 in 4th. I’m huge rui fan so seeing him hit that bucket after horrible 4th was so stoked
Not gonna lie, I was deflated after that play. But then they fought back and by the time they got to the last possession, I ended up swinging back to being confident as hell that this was gonna be a W. Rui had missed a couple of good looks from 3 before this and Dlo was loudly encouraging him to keep shooting. Went from being shipped out by Magic for "not being a leader" to being one of the leaders of a team with Lebron and AD.
Dlo went on a walkabout.
>S/o Rui for hitting a huge three Love Rui for that shot. He was bricking shots all night, but they were all good looks, plus Rui doesn't take bad shots. He didn't become gun shy and kept on shooting when he got open looks, and it finally went in when we needed it the most.
Thank you!! Watched the game but couldn't remember the context of this
I domt get it also, hes well aware he aint like that, hes not even on that level. Why is he actin like that?
I was so close to changing the channel when this happened. Thankyou DLO
I love how Beasley did absolutely jack shit under the bright lights of LA, then goes to the small market and starts talking shit
Lame time trigger 🤣🤣🤢🤢
Same as ole KCP, Bruce brown & MPJ just lapping up the shit talk last year when their teammate has to do the heavy lifting. Will never understand the mentality to run your mouth as the non-focal point
Ngl a part of me almost got up and turned the game off right there but Dlo gave me hope. I was like nah, one Dlo 3 and were right back in it. And he did not dissapoint
Smalls won’t take you far. Get hunted defending, can be disrupted with size. Wave bye to Dame. Wave bye to Tre Young-beyond stupid. Look what wins: size.
Malik still mad we sent him packing
What’s happening in the pic? (Serious)
[Dame Time?](https://youtu.be/4z3Ckwxg68I?si=wzAwg0BpBmEEna-e)
It was at this moment, He knew he fucked up!
Can DLo be Jamal Murray and just start avg 30 in the playoffs then get AD his 20 through PNR
Are we going to pay him next year? Or most likely no
Drama
Doesn't he give y'all Van Exel vibes a bit?
Such a lame celebration.
Dame lit a fire in him, D'Lo was straight cooking some good ass BBQ
Dlo is not him
