D’Angelo Russell upset about not having opportunity to close Game 6

What’s the buzz on Twitter?

Christopher Hine @ChristopherHine
D’Angelo Russell on his contract situation (extension eligible, 1 yr. left):
“I don’t like to speak on that. It kind of comes back to haunt you a lot of the times. There’s nothing more that I can do to showcase my worth or the number that I’m looking for or anything like that.” – 1:14 PM
Jon Krawczynski @JonKrawczynski
D’Angelo Russell wasn’t ready to reflect much on the playoffs or discuss his contract situation. Did ask if he was OK watching from the bench: “No. Not at all.”
Said of course he wanted to be out there. But overall saw the season as a big success. – 1:11 PM

D’Angelo Russell made it very clear in his end of season exit interview that he didn’t want to make it a big deal that he didn’t close the game in Game 6. But he did say he was upset about not having the opportunity to be on the floor in the final minutes of the game. – 12:47 PM

Ant on the KAT/DLo/Ant Big 3
“We all got 3 different personalities, so it’s kind of good for us because we all 3 different people. I think we get along really well, especially on the court. Our game complements each other so much. I think for years to come it’s going to be scary” – 12:32 PM

Patrick Beverley said before the season that he gave D’Angelo Russell a set of challenges.

If anyone is complaining about DLo not being on the court and is blaming coaching for making the correct and sound decision, they probably don’t know what they’re looking at. 🤷🏽‍♂️ – 12:06 AM

Dlo still on the bench on an offensive possession. Gonna be a must watch presser. – 11:39 PM

Finch is really getting after it – DLO getting the hook in place of JMac. – 11:31 PM
Evan Dunlap @BQRMagic
interesting to see Chris Finch go right back to Jordan McLaughlin after a few more ineffective D’Angelo Russell minutes – 11:28 PM
Dane Moore @DaneMooreNBA
JMac is subbing in… presumably for DLo – 11:25 PM
Kyle Ratke @Kyle_Ratke
DLo back on the court and I feel worse. – 11:18 PM

Memphis adjusting to having Dillon Brooks guard Anthony Edwards.
Brooks had been guarding D’Angelo Russell. Now Desmond Bane is on DLo. – 9:20 PM
