Against his old team, Schroder switched to playing for the Celtics. In 34 minutes, he scored 21 points on eight of 14 shots, adding six rebounds and six assists. He was instrumental in the team’s epic win over the Lakers, who were playing with LeBron James for the first time in a while. It was a pleasure to see Schroder prove his worth against his former club after his contract failed at the end of last season.

Dennis Schroder was ruined on social media during the off-season when he demanded a big contract from the Lakers. After a disappointing season, many fans find it ridiculous that the point guard is demanding that money. The Lakers felt the same way when they did not offer Schroder a contract. In the end, he signed a smaller contract with the Boston Celtics, and he proved he deserved more than what the Cs offered him.

Looks like his current organization also has his back! The Celtics broadcast savage troll Lakers for their decision to remove Schroder and replace him with Russell Westbrook.
