This post is taken from reddit. The video linked was of DS venting to AD and Duds.

So I took this video at the game because I was watching the events unfold and wanted to capture it.
Dennis had a rough first and second quarter of the Raptors game. He got body slammed which led to his good friend Trez getting ejected. He wasn’t able to get his shot going until later in the game. This story begins in the second quarter.
Lakers are up a lot. Dennis goes down and fumbles a pass, resulting in a turnover. The next possession, Dennis has the ball and it gets hit out of bounds. They say Dennis touched the ball last, he felt like he didn’t and it was out on the Raptors. Dennis turns to Vogel and motions that he wants Vogel to challenge. I see Vogel think about it but ultimately wave him off and shouting something over to him with a shrug. I see Dennis get a tinge upset from this; he doesn’t get back fast on the defensive possession and was laxidasical on the next offensive possession. He goes back on defense and is, again, noticeably dragging and looking dejected. Vogel decides to pull him out of the game.
I see Dennis walk over to Vogel and get in his ear. Vogel starts trying to comfort Dennis a bit but Dennis is not having it and isn’t de-escalating. Vogel is trying to manage the game and the last of their interaction was Vogel frustratedly waving him off and I see him motion to the action happening on the court and points to Jason Kidd.
Jason Kidd steps up to the plate to take over (as a good assistant coach should) and tries to start de-escalating. Dennis is still inconsolable at this point. I see AD also taking notice and he starts meandering over to Jason Kidd. Jason Kidd can’t seem to get him to calm down either so AD puts his arm around him and pulls him to the corner. Jared Dudley walked up at that point as well.
What follows is a 7 minute conversation between Schroder, AD and Jared Dudley. This is just a look at the beginning of the convo. Ultimately, AD and Dudley did a great job of de-escalating because the convo ended with them high fiving and looking noticeably less tense. Dennis walks around a bit, comes back to Vogel and they talk for 30 seconds or so, then he gets some water and heads back into the game.

Also, why does the Head Coach turn to an Assistant Coach when he needs backup? Shouldn't it be the other way around? _________________ Damian Lillard shatters Dwight Coward's championship dreams:
I hope he is off them team next season. He isn't worth the money
I feel the same way. The dude comes in demanding to start on a team that just won a championship, when Schroder had his best season ever off the bench, demands over $25 mill per year after rejecting a VERY GENEROUS offer of 4 year/$84 mill (no one is gonna offer him more than that), and seems to be a hot head of a player.
Give me Lonzo Ball over Schroder any day of the week on this team. That's my pipe dream. Get a sign and trade of Schroder for Lonzo. THT can and will take over the point guard spot anyway as he's the future here, and Lonzo next to him and Lebron would be THE PERFECT FIT.
I doubt that pipe dream happens but that would be very ideal over what Schroder provides, which is turnover city, inconsistent scoring, and a weird fit next to Lebron. Plus he's small anyway. The dude is worth $15 mill per at the very most, and the dude rejects 21 mill per year? Get the hell out of here. _________________ Darvin Scam: https://media.tenor.com/images/3c15249955860a4b16b59e8ae035fb75/tenor.gif

Huh? Vogel has a game to manage, that's why you have assistant coaches. An assistant coach can't order a head coach to do something. "You, c'mon here, deal with this guy." LOL!

nothing wrong with that at all... almost all coaching staffs has that players coach assistant who is able to connect more closely with the players _________________ (bleep) Kawhi
This probably happens all but without fans in the arena, I guess you don't have to wait til the locker room to let out frustrations.
Either way, I was a big Dennis fan when the season started but I've lost a lot of interest in him. Dude seems to think too highly of himself and his role - given his erratic and meh play.
Too bad Wes has been garbage because I would have loved to see a bench of Gasol, Trez, Kuz, Caruso, Dennis

I read it wrong and thought Vogel somehow thought Schroeder would be more willing to listen to Kidd. _________________ Damian Lillard shatters Dwight Coward's championship dreams:

Yeah, I'm done with this dude. You either want to be a Laker, or you don't. DS is too arrogant to be a Laker. Ship his ass, Rob. Do what you do.
He's starting to remind me of Bynum, D'Angelo, Nick Young, and 2012-2013 Dwight. _________________ Damian Lillard shatters Dwight Coward's championship dreams:
Been saying this for a while now. He has an attitude. Nobody is going to work with him if he keeps that attitude. His little temper tantrums are getting on my nerves.
I've been wanting this guy off the team since he said he didn't want to be a Laker at the trade deadline.

Ok there Doc Brown, he wasn't even a Laker last trade deadline so how did you want him off the team?

let’s see if he can spearhead a win against the Heat without Kuz and THT
