    If he continues to shoot > .400 3FG%, teams will start closing out on him hard and he'll be fucked. In addition to his shot being ugly as hell, he also has a low release point for a player his size. Challenge that shot and things will get a lot harder for him.

    Between Ball, Rondo and Stephenson, there is always someone on the Lakers you can leave open. So, if Ball continues to shoot well from three, you start running him off the line and let one of their other non-shooters try to beat you.

    And that goes back to my original point. Magic has surrounded LeBron with non-shooters and is blaming their lack of success on Luke Walton. Can you say scapegoat?

    When you have LeBron James and can't win, somebody's going to get fired. Magic just wants to make sure it's not him.

    I want to also believe those were Lebron approved moves as well

    Add another star like PG13 or Kawhi and those moves look less horrible, but LeBron and the Meme Team isn't working out so well (as I, and others, predicted).

    I still can't believe how many "experts" predicted the Lakers would be a top 3 or 4 team in the West. Yeah, LeBron is LeBron, but basketball is still a team sport and anyone who looks at that roster and thinks "contender" is an idiot.

    A Lakers game not on national TV?

    In regards to the question, no one I love could ever stoop so low as to be a Lakers fan. It would be like someone I love being a Trump supporter or cat hater

    Told him Lebron is the coach now. How long until we see Walton standing outside of huddles during timeouts.

    The Lakers lead the league in FGM and FGA. Very high in FG%, assists, and steals. They get no free throws and miss the few they get. Their average final score is 121 to 121. Surprisingly, the Lakers record is

    3 - 2 with more Turnovers than opponent
    1 - 4 with more Field-goals Made than opponent
    1 - 3 with more Field-goals Attempts than opponent
    1 - 3 with higher Field-goals Percentage than opponent

    Hoopsstats is greatly underappreciated.

    That wasn't the game that Steve Nash got hurt. That game was Dame's first ever game in 2012.

    Layman on LeBron? Really?

    And Collins needs to start over Nurk. McGee is going to eat them alive, but Collins has the better chance of stopping him.

    Yup, 100%. Nash had just been acquired that off season along with Howard and that is the last year they made the playoffs.
