Our Shooting Is Embarrassing

It’s halftime of the Houston game and it needs to be said.

I don’t care who’s playing or not playing. 1 three point make through almost 3 quarters is completely embarrassing.

And even worse: the attempts. I don’t care who’s in the lineup, we won’t survive in the playoffs for longer than a round if we don’t start making 12-15 3’s a game.

I’m in full blown crisis mode.

Damn did we forget to bring the sports psychologist? We're giving storm troopers a run for their money.

Shooting is beyond terrible, defense is pretty bad too. What's wrong with the team? This is not the powerhouse Lakers we have been watching all season long before Corona. It's time to hit the gym and the shootarounds or we could seriously face a 1st round upset.

I can't even watch the games it's terrible. The only thing we can hope is that they're coasting, but I would've loved to see the role players make some more threes.

The last two games the team looked awful. It doesn't look good for the playoffs right now.

This whole team forum is an embarrassment. :lol:

We're not even having game threads on some games, and the ones we do we often don't even surpass two pages.

We're becoming a bottom RealGM dweller, inexcusable. :lol:

15% on open 3s. That's not sustainable. I'd like to believe the last couple games were crazy outliers.

We'll be fine in the playoffs

I think Ducler helped a lot with those game threads.

Barely no one uses standard internet forums anymore. Reddit is the best "forum" at the moment, IMHO.

Watch Danny Green and others get red hot in the playoffs.

Besides the shooting, how is the defense?

One of the Lakers' strengths before the NBA suspended play was all those big players shutting down shots at the rim.

Why was Caruso out?

Shooting is going to cost us in the playoffs. We might be the worst shooting team in the West bracket..

happens every year with Lebron. We'll roll through the first couple of rounds, till we face the Clips / Bucks. Then we need the shooting and defense.
