It looked like he pushed off in full speed but not so much on the replay.

It looked like like a bullshit flop at full speed as well. (Okay, D-Lo; I'll stop talking shit on you for a few minutes)

Russell showing up. Guess you've gotta play him now.

Again, as an unabashed D-Lo apologist from the moment we drafted him, I have to point out that he was NEVER seen as a dynamic on-ball defender. He's a physical defender who won't have to dive under screens and can't be bully balled because he's surprisingly strong for a guy built like him.
But he's not a premier athlete and never has been. I think he's an average defensive player who gets there in a fairly unconventional way for a perimeter player. That will work - but it ain't gonna work real well against Morant.

Jackson gave him that little breadcrumb because deep down I think he wanted Russell to take that shot but didn't want to make it too obvious.
There was no real reason to give him that space but you also don't want to just completely sag off him. Jackson didn't think he had 2 in a row in him.

Well that was a heat check if ever there was.
Then he misses the easiest look he'll have all night...

Some of the things he can do with explosiveness is just amazing
Hilariously, I think the worst possible thing for the Lakers long term is Russell getting hot in the short term. He did it to KU a couple times. I feel your pain. |

Uh - Morant, what you complaining about bro? That was about as out of control as a drive gets.

Okay - we can stop letting Russell shoot now.

Jesus. If James was 6’3 like me Morant would have cleared him.
