<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">The days of 35 and 36 three-point attempts left when Rudy Tomjanovich did, but the Lakers are still shooting too often behind the arc for Frank Hamblen's liking. The Lakers are averaging 19.1 three-point attempts since Hamblen took over last month, a slight drop from the 22.4 attempts they averaged under Tomjanovich. "I'd like to see us shoot 12, 13 a night, 14, something like that," Hamblen said. "I just think you can use the floor and get better shots. If that's your game [to shoot threes], that's one thing, but I think you can probably make the extra pass and get a better shot." The Lakers set a team record with 36 three-point attempts Dec. 25 against the Miami Heat. They have shot 1,251 three-pointers this season and are on pace to break the team record of 1,500 set in 1996-97. The Lakers shot four for 11 from behind the arc Sunday against the Indiana Pacers.</div> Source
I have to agree with Frank. Chucky and Cook are the only real 3pt shooters on the team. All the other guys are better off trying to get to the hoop. Still...with less 3pt shooting, the Lakers aren't exactly winning more games so ... who knows. That's been the story of the 04-05 Lakers ... trying to find the right formula
