Is there going to be the re-emergence of Playoff KCP ? He has been improving just lately; knocking down his 3pt shots and playing sharp defense. Not sure if it is a blip.
We will definitely need him for our postseason run again, hopefully like last year when he was perhaps our third most important player.

Are you reading this KCP? Was that just a fluke last postseason?

No enough sample size

The addition of Ben McLemore has him nervous!

40 mins per game
12.5 shots a night attempted at 44% field goal
6.8 threes attempted a night at 44.4%
4.3 rebounds a night
2.8 assists a night 1.8 steals a night
15.3 points per game

That above was KCP as a Piston in the playoffs when they got there

RS was a 14 point 36.1 min 42/31/80 on 12 shot (5 threes) attempts, 3.7 reb, 1.8ast, 1.4 steals

This below was KCP last year as a Laker in the season
25.5 mins 9.3 pts 46.7/38.5/77.5 on 7 shots (3.5 threes) with 2 rebs and 1.6 asts and 0.8 steals

In the playoffs
29 mins per game
9 shots a night on 41.8 % from field
5.7 threes attempted a night on 37.8%
2.1 rebounds a night
1.3 assists a night
1 steal a night
10.7 points per game
Primary defender on Lillard, Harden, Murray, and Herro

His minutes go up, his shots go up, his defense goes up, and his play goes up. He’s been in the playoffs pre Lakers and he produced in the playoffs too against Lebron of all damn people while chasing Kyrie. Why the hell do you think Lebron wanted and believed in him

A bum who can’t make a team doesn’t bother him anymore than JR or Waiters looking over his shoulder did. And both of them still have more game sitting at home than Ben has ever shown in the league.

Frank said in his press conference he went to kcp in the locker room and said Kuz is out THT is out, I want you to shoot and get me 25 and he responded alright. and he went out there and got him 28. He’s a career starter in the nba, career double digit guy in the nba in the regular and post season, he’ll he made more threes than any laker ever not named Kobe in the playoffs last year while defending the best perimeter guy on every team. And when Bradley was with us, we went 17-3 in the games Pope started.

Cmon worthy.

if vogel is good at anythinig its getting kcp's mind right in playoffs

can we get a "second unit" schroeder when bron returns? not worried bout kcp

I’m interested in seeing if we go with Bron sitting to end the first and third or Bron playing those quarters straight through and then coming in later in the 2nd and 4th. I mean he could go and sit last playoffs because of Rondo to end the first and third because you knew Rondo was going to get AD the ball and keep the tempo in his control.

Yeah the thing is he takes 6-7 threes in the playoffs a night. He did it there too, not just last year. So the volume goes up and we are going to need him taking a third of our threes in the playoffs to keep everyone honest.

We will need Markieff taking a large portion of our threes too which is why him hitting the past two months and mostly taking threes is huge

KCThree is getting ready for the playoffs.
If he can still be the third best player for the Lakers like last playoff then we are definitely winning the chip.

Just imagine KCP outplaying everyone in this team not named AD and Lebron then we are surely winning back to back championship.

KCP is absolutely key for our playoff success.
He saved at least 2 games that I remember in last year’s run.
Teams will collapse on LBJ and AD, and KCP has to hit the 3s.
Him, Morris, Kuz, and AC will need to knock down open shots in the playoffs.
But KCP is very important for our success.

Are you reading this KCP?
Read everything above by all laker fan regulars here not one negative.
We believe in you brother.
Do it

He has championship experience. Not easy to replace

Is it this Sunday you'll show up?

Playoff KCP will finish the 2021 playoffs without a 3pt made. So sad.
