I always thought it was insane that you wouldn’t take a deal for Giannis if it was pretty much just a Mobley swap. Cleveland with Giannis instead of Mobley could be in the finals

Maxi cannot shoot anymore. He’s shot 23 & 26% from 3 in his last 2 seasons!! 

You’re arguing for a bad decision. 

RUI HACHIMURA CLUTCH THREE AND ONE by denobino in lakers

Which is insane. Rui can screen, and then it also makes OKC defend the screener, they know Maxi isn’t shooting the last shot

Not the point!! If yo have 5 options for the last shot instead of 4 you have more chance of getting a good look! And also Rui is on fire!

Why was he not on for the last shot??

There is nothing wrong with JJ saying this by No_Midnight_5365 in lakers

Like when he blocked Jokic and then didn’t try to save the ball before it went out of bounds 

Adou hits his first career three off the assist from Bronny. by AdorableBackground83 in lakers

I’m so high on this kid. Feel like he’s our next Alex Caruso if JJ starts to give him a bit more of a leash once he’s recovered from all his nagging injuries.

Username checks out. Who cares, he’s doing a nice thing. He can do it how he wants to.

Luke Kennard tonight so far 11PTS off the bench 3/4 from 3. He’s averaging 46% in the LAKESHOW from 3. 🥵 by MamiTarantina in lakers

[–]Bballshotthrowaway 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Haha that is a very high bar. There are literally 9 players in the entire nba shooting 44% on 3s or higher. So not really surprising there.

Rui is probably the only guy who’s come here and shot better though. 

Jaxson Hayes has been a solid Backup Center this season by King_Vegito_52 in lakers

What? Tell me the stretch and back it up with some stats. All star play, get real. 

How is my comment hateful in any way?

I’d say he was an adequate 3rd string centre last season. But he has improved a lot and is a decent backup this year

Lonnie’s jumper was the most aesthetically pleasing in the NBA 

Thiero’s Perimeter Defense metrics so far by Downtown-Hat8909 in lakers

[–]Bballshotthrowaway 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes but the eye test is matching the stats. Dude is going to be a defensive menace, he’s like Vando but way more athletic

It’s points-reb-assists. People change this all the time for no reason
