Game 3 Dirkie Thread: D'Angelo Russell--Dlo
#8
I'm tempted to give the Dirkie to either Flagg or Russell, both of whom were amazing in this game.

For all the complaining about AD (he is moving a little slower than normal, to be fair, but we knew the eye injury messed with his summer routine, so I don't know why it's a surprise) he was extremely efficient on offense, made some good, clutch defensive contributions in the second half, and if you asked the players/coaches, I'm pretty sure they'd say to a man he was the team's best player last night. I should've predicted this, but I admit I'm a bit surprised that he seems to be suffering from fan backlash related to the trade (still), despite it not being remotely his fault in any way.

Ultimately, my Dirkie goes to Lively, who was an absolute STUD on defense, sparking pretty much every run the Mavs were able to go on with suffocating rim defense coupled with an uncommon ability to make the correct outlet pass.
