This is the last thing you want from him (but still need since this seems to be the only way we're gonna win against a scrub Jazz team) because if he falls in love with the 3 suddenly thinking he's going to replicate this....man that's a recipe for disaster. |

| Lebron hasn’t been great from 3 this year but he’s Not a player you can leave wide open from distance. If teams give him that practice shot, it will backfire on them |

The last 3 minutes of this game is the first time I’ve seen Lebron actually play defense.
Taking these games too light but I understand to prevent injuries LOL |
I also think it’s a twist. The Lakers had to try their ass off to even be in games. Now they don’t have to try to win. That says something about what pelinka did |

Le- (bleep) you 3s, with Steph range.
Don’t want to even look and see how many minutes AD and Lebron played with a play-in game on Tuesday. |
33min each

Don’t expect this too often |
It's not taking three's that's the problem. It's the QUALITY of those 3pt attempts that are the problem. Also, is the additional condition on how LeBron's outside shooting is looking, from game to game.

| I think the coolest thing was seeing AD and Bron thank their guys after last game for helping them get over 500. Chemistry is good |

Yup, since the trade we’ve been literally trying to sleepwalk our way to some wins. The goal since last week or so was to finish fresh and healthy as possible.
Sandbagging for 35 minutes is easier than playing hard for 20 |

| Chances are they were coasting these last 2 games, but let’s just hope that was it and they go up another 3 levels for Tuesday. Otherwise, they will be facing elimination and opponent doesn’t matter. |

Wenyen is fine, if the opposing team also has a small frontcourt. His production is conditional. He's a good rebounder around the basket, and a mobile defender, at the 5. But, he can't defend the rim. And, he's at a disadvantage against bigger 5's. Bamba projects to be a better rim defender, and can also stretch the floor. But, he hasn't gotten any play, even when healthy. I can only guess that he's regarded as a future project, if he's not going to get any burn this season, or post season... Otherwise, why spend 2nd round draft picks to get him?
I guess we'll see if Tristan can add anything to buffer the 5 spot, after AD.

We all hate these shortcuts when it comes to winning ball games but it is what it is.
Just glad we escaped with the small goal of making it past the regular season.
Safe to say we all should expect the complete opposite for the playin game from our Lakers. |

Lakers opponents almost always miss their wide open 3s. It’s wild but it works somehow. |

Much more disciplined in his square up and release for Lebron which is expected as he gets into more game shape ready.
His superior playmaking was non existent today because these teams know all he wants to do is Jack up jumpers in these horribly forced games.
That should all change as he should go back to his normal self of mixing it up with killing opponents with driving to the basket or shooting from
the perimeter |

FYI

With 36 points on 13-for-25 shooting (8-for-14 from 3) on Sunday, LeBron James passed Pau Gasol on the Lakers' all-time franchise scoring list. |
