AD stop shooting jumpers challenge
Would be interested to see his % on his little floaters in the lane, he seems to do better on those

so is he saying that if they had a 7ft center who can score with will inside the paint then the Lakers would be in a better place right now?
He is saying that AD and LeBron were getting anything they wanted at the rim. But settling for jumpers, "hero 3s" , and fatigue kept them from shooting better
Apathy is a hell of a drug. He just doesn't care, he's made of glass and LA was not good for him. He's become more interested in hawking potato chips than working on his game. He's the very definition of SOFT. He gets worked every night. A real disappointment.
Me. As the sole resident bulls fan I feel the need to interject. Lonzo is on a top 75 pace rn which should not be disrupted.
You have to shoot jumpers most of the time when playing with Westbrook and all of the time when next to Westbrook/Rondo and DAJ/Dwight.
I'm not worried about AD, I think he'll bounce back.
The biggest thing is not being able to mask these shitty offensive slumps with some sound defense.
There's a massive void of defensive skill on this team that has yet to be filled. I think people are forgetting how bad this team looked when LeBron and AD weren't rolling offensively in the past. Losing a solid shooter like KCP hurts... But seeing guys like Melo out there trying to play defense is more tragic.

what in the world is happening to AD
the regression is immense
Vogel has to pick his poison with these lineups lol
The sadder story is LeGM still can't get rest without worrying about the team collapsing offensively
I legit thought having AD and Russ would remediate that some this season
Davis has always been a so-so shooter outside of the 2020 playoffs, but he's gotten a lot worse at shooting since his injuries lat year.
ya
Not sure what the Lakers can do here. I hope he's able to turn it around.
AD hasn't been that bad lol. Plenty of other stats point out he's doing well. He's just not often the guy making the flashy shots. The problem for LA is that they traded all their good role players for a mediocre PG. They're too old and have no depth. It's been said a thousand times, but they should at least have kept Caruso and traded for Hield.
Part of me thinking the Rockets making Wall travel with the team knowing he is not going to play was some galaxy-brain attempt to get him to avoid exercising his player option which is lmfao.
Y'all really demanding a Top 75 all-time player make a few jumpers. Steph Curry broke your brains.
Big issue with the Lakers last nights loss was the defensive rebounding. 16 offensive rebounds for Sacramento equating to 18 more shot attempts for the Kings. 120 shots for Kings vs 102 for the Lakers.
Only winning statline Lakers had a significant advantage were fastbreak points, otherwise stats were pretty even for both teams. Both teams shot like shit from the free throw line and the three most of the game.

I'm really looking forward to these GSW vs Suns games. I believe GSW is a legit team, but I'm still not sold that they should be championship favorites.
Mmm Is Dame not getting those looks that he used to get 🤔
Sorry I like Dame but that dang quote lol
At the same time I don't think the phx gs games will change that either way at the moment.
AD is still playing well overall.
But it's just the level of scrutiny that increases when you reach that upper echelon. Every top 5 talent guy has been getting it bad at times.

I feel like no one kinda is a favorite due to differing situations. Byk would be with kyrie but again everyone notable has a situation.

That's fair. The Suns are super good.
TBH I don't super duper care about the next two Suns-Warriors games as long as the Warriors win on Christmas.
well, from what i understand, the argument is Vogel is a defensive-minded coach but the team is defensively lacking and unworkable. so it makes sense to get a coach that can work with an offense oriented team.
The Lakers on-paper are horrible offensively due to the lack of shooting, it's just a tough situation.
They need a real stretch 5 who can defend and those guys basically do not exist.
I mean as presently constructed they have the league MVP, the DPOY and two guys that can go for 20-30 pts on a good day and 15-20 consistently. Adding another weapon to that seems like the best team in basketball. The bench is solid af too
Idk if I fully trust Poole and Wiggins in the playoffs. We'll see though
But Playoff Wiggins is legendary. Unlike Steph Curry who has never played well in the Finals.
*2022 Finals*
Steph in Game 1: 34/6/6; 7/10 from 3
Steph in Game 2: 30/3/5; 5/12 from 3
Steph in Game 3: 36/5/8; 8/13 from 3
Steph in Game 4: 11/7/6; 1/12 from 3
Steph in Game 5: 29/9/9; 4/8 from 3
Steph in Game 6: 33/5/6; 7/8 from 3
Wiggins wins Finals MVP on 21/3/3 and lockdown defense 😤
So why let go of Drummond? You know what? Never mind. Nothing the lakers did in the off season made sense.
well they do got a g league player playing right now... Sorry Cam....
