D’Angelo Russell had an absolutely terrible Game 3, where he couldn’t manage to score a single point and the NBA community is coming for him.
The Lakers dropped Game 3 112-105 on Thursday and their chances of coming back are fairly slim, considering no NBA team have ever come back from such a deficit.
The guard scored 0 points and shot 0-7 from the field and 0-6 from three in 24 minutes. Sheeesh.
The message Russell sent before the game aged like milk.
“I’ve been dominating the season all year, so for me to have a game off when everyone is watching, of course it’s going to be magnified,” Russell said on Sirius XM NBA Radio. “You see what I did the second game, and I’m looking forward to doing it the third game.”
Lakers fans in particular weren’t happy with DLo’s performance, but its’ open slather of the man on Twitter.
Interestingly, he didn’t join the Lakers huddle after the loss and could be seen sitting down eating instead.
DLo is not even in the Lakers’ huddle 😳

After the game Lakers coach Darvin Ham said of DLo, “He had some good looks that didn’t go down, just like Game 1. He bounced back in Game 2 and I expect him to bounce back in Game 4.”
