Just 10 minutes into Spencer Dinwiddie’s debut with the Los Angeles Lakers, fans were already showcasing their exhaustion. The newest addition to the Lakers is making his first appearance in purple and gold, facing off against the low-seeded Detroit Pistons. Dinwiddie was said to bring a unique skill set to the team. He had inefficiencies as a shooter at times and solidity as a catch-and-shoot player. Regardless, he holds the potential to pressure opposing defenses, drive to the lane, and find open teammates. Additionally, he was also said to add a little on the defensive end.

As the first half of the game unfolds, Dinwiddie has spent 14 minutes on the court for the team. However, in that time frame, he hasn’t managed to score a single point, attempting only one shot from beyond the arc, which unfortunately missed its mark. One of the reasons behind Spencer’s decision to join the Lakers was his desire for an accountable role.

However, it appears he needs a bit of time to acclimate to the glitz and glam that the franchise offers. In his defense, he hasn’t fully grasped their offensive strategies yet, hindering his ability to position himself for frequent scoring opportunities.

The Lakers are currently enjoying a massive 71-48 lead, with Anthony Davis, Austin Reaves, D’Angelo Russell, and LeBron James all scoring in double digits. If the Lakers maintain this lead throughout the third quarter, there’s a chance their starters will be benched in the fourth quarter. This could provide more playing time for Spencer, allowing him to get comfortable with the new roster.

Lakers fans blast Spencer for the disappointing start

As a result, Fans have turned ruthless, criticizing the 30-year-old after his disappointing first half. What was initially viewed as a potential upgrade is now being labeled as a burden by the fans. @AlPacimoe was quick to express the sentiment, emphatically stating, “Get this Dinwiddie fella OFF MY TEAM.”

On the flip side, @whosetafa expressed a similar sentiment, urging the Lakers to part ways with their newest recruit.
