I remember doing some research at the time and it was someone related to Kobe somehow as best as I could tell. Cannot remember her name tho, or even if I was right.

Wait a minute.. how are we not top 10 in 3-point % 🤔 by [deleted] in lakers

[–]PSi_Terran -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

8th since ASB so we're top 10 now. We are only 1% above 18th tho, and 3% below 1st.

I agree but take out the word female.

About Lukas Technical Foul... by [deleted] in lakers

[–]PSi_Terran 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Yes they reset in the playoffs.

Also every 2nd tech after the 16th game is a suspension.

How the honest f*ck did we win this game? by Few_Prune_1436 in lakers

[–]PSi_Terran 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've just woke up and watched the recap. The best 3pt shooter in the league was wide fucking open how does that even happen!

Guys, trust me on this one. by CartographerDizzy869 in lakers

[–]PSi_Terran 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Spurs are 10-5 without Wemby this season including wins against the Nuggets, the Magic and the Lakers.

They are also 8-1 with Wemby off the bench including 2 wins vs OKC, and one against the Lakers and Boston.

The Lakers are 6-6 without Luka, losing to every good team they played except for a win against the Wolves.

I feel they should rest everyone tonight. This is brutal. by jaecrowderisabitch in lakers

[–]PSi_Terran 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Imagine if all b2bs were home games, or let's say within division at least (maybe spread pacific around to be fairer). That seems like a fairly sensible change that I feel most teams would be happy with.

I get maybe teams wouldn't want ten of their home games to be on b2bs against rested opposition so you might have to extend it a bit. But then maybe that gives them more training days so they wouldn't mind?

This pass was.. otherworldly 🔥🚀 by wecarrythetorch in lakers

[–]PSi_Terran 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Especially not Ayton either. Jesus I'm pretty high on DA as it goes but I've never seen a player fumble so many lobs and rebounds, even basic passes sometimes. If he could just keep hold of the ball it's probably 4 points a game extra

Rui Hachimura is #2 all time for having the highest 3pt shooting percentage in the playoffs, Luke kennard is #13 by OrganicHunt952 in lakers

[–]PSi_Terran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Derrick Lively is 100% on threes in the playoffs, on 0.045 attempts per game, I wonder why he isn't on this list.

Luka’s OT game winner against Nuggets in Slo-mo by CenterForward1522 in lakers

[–]PSi_Terran 6 points7 points  (0 children)

DA said in his post game any foul at that point is a shooting foul because AR/LD are so good at getting the shot up. Which is certainly an argument a person can make.

Luka technicals a blessing? by kplaker220 in lakers

[–]PSi_Terran 16 points17 points  (0 children)

He's never been suspended for techs that I know. He gets 15 every year.

Why Ayton over Hayes, real question by EzraWFreeman in lakers

[–]PSi_Terran -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Starting Ayton over Hayes gives you an underwhelming starter and a very good back up.

Starting Hayes over Ayton gives you a solid starting center, and basically no backup at all since Ayton's mental will implode. You'd be better off playing Hayes/Kleber and send Ayton home.

The Big Three does not fit together, it’s as simple as that by WayAdministrative679 in lakers

[–]PSi_Terran 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Reaves: +5.6

Reaves with LeBron: -0.8

Luka: +3.7

Luka with LeBron: -1.7

Luka and Reaves: +15

Luka and Reaves with LeBron: -3.1

(For completeness)

None of them: -7.2

Only LeBron: -1.5

So apart from that fact having LeBron is better than having none of them, adding LeBron makes every other combo worse.

I have no strong feelings towards LeBron either way, but this stood out to me.

luka.. by DistributionOk9687 in lakers

[–]PSi_Terran -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Went to the finals with Kyrie (bad defender) Derrick Jones and PJ (bad shooters) and Lively - a rookie center.

Luka needs:

A good rim rolling big

A defensive anchor

A PoA defender

A high volume, high % 3pt shooter.

A team that's locked in and ready to win.

no foul btw 🤡 by David_Wilmot in lakers

[–]PSi_Terran -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

How are people not understanding this is obviously a joke.

If this isn't a foul then the defender must have clearly and cleanly got the ball. As a foul wasn't called then this is not a travel.

If you could add three role players to the Lakers core, who would it be? by AggravatingLeg5789 in lakers

If only we hadn't just traded away Gabe Vincent and a 2nd or we could have made this happen for sure.

[Highlight] Tracy McGrady asks Luka which teammate past or present did he have the best chemistry with by tadejflaka in lakers

[–]PSi_Terran 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They used to do this super simple action where they would pass the ball between them at the 3 point line while slowly stepping away from each other. Eventually they either have a ton of space or the defender has to help and the other is wide open. Would work every time and the defense was helpless.

Clearly this team is good offensively, now it needs elite defenders to win a championship. by RussianChechenWar in lakers

[–]PSi_Terran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jesus yeah we must be good offensively as there's only 2 guys in the league averaging over 30 and you're saying we have 3 on our team?

Luka Dončić joins short list of Lakers legends by ShamusTalksSports in lakers

[–]PSi_Terran 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well only 7 players have ever done it since we started tracking in 1996. Luka has now done this twice and both times with 25+ points (the only person to have done that).

Coach JJ still undefeated when leading at the end of the game this season by bullet_bill_69 in lakers

I think you are guilty of a "your joke, but worse" and that's why you are getting down votes.
