@NBA__Courtside Funny how the goalposts start sprinting the moment the Lakers win. I thought the Nuggets were supposed to walk through them? Now suddenly it’s excuses and context.Lakers won the game. That’s the analysis.
Shaq on the Lakers needing Austin Reaves to intentionally miss FTs to force the game into overtime:
"If you have to rely on that you're not going to win and not being a contender. I'm used to playing for coaches who wouldn't be happy with that game... You up 15 at home you have to beat them by 15"
@Tobijiggy@NBA__Courtside Yes...Im also old enough to remember Nuggets beating on us on a buzzer beater..All that matters is the W...By any means necessary they all count
@LALPerformance Adou not playing still confuses me when the Lakers clearly lack wings with athleticism..He should be getting real NBA minutes to develop
Numbers loudly say Lakers are better with Luka/AR ... and without LeBron. They just had one of their better wins, holding the Knicks to 97 ... without LeBron.
@TrevorLane Subbing out Rui was a mistake in my opinion he was hot...Smart was the one to sit.. Rui would have knocked down one or both of those 3's in the end there..Smarts shooting is too streaky
@TrevorLane Dude is stuck in the past thinking he's a #1 pick so he should be getting his shots...Those days are long gone bro get that through your thick skull..Rebound, Set Screens. Box Out, Rim Protect that's your role
Deandre Ayton: 9 FGA/game
Jarrett Allen: 9.4
Ivica Zubac 10
Mark Williams 7.4
IHart 7
Gobert 6.4
Vucevic (BOS) 9.4
Carter 8.4
Edey 8.9
Claxton 8.8
This is just what being a 3rd or 4th option looks like. 2 things are true: LA needs to move the ball more BUT offensive touches are also not a given on a nightly basis for the 5.
