I don't know.... it was a wide open look. You rarely ever get those when you have to have a 3.
The Lamb chuck at the end of the shot clock from 3 came back to hurt big time. As did our FT shooting.

Bron stunk this one up. He has to score 30+ with AD out. No excuses. He seemed to play like the game was lost after that tough 2nd quarter. Should have sat out.
Lakers set a goal to not lose 2 in a row. I'm afraid that's destined to fail come Thursday.

Lakers choked big time from the free throw line going 8-17. Absolutely pathetic. Three and a half minutes left and the Lakers were up 100-98. Lebron bricks two free throws, seconds later Dwight bricks his two. Lakers should have been up 4 or 5 points at that point. Instead they get outscored 10-2 in the final three and a half minutes. **** terrible

I do know, still clear problems if you watch all these games. Not enough shot creators for themselves.
Its always Lebron and AD. Kuzma isn't really much of a consistent creator, better off cutting usually.
No guards can score too much and create on their own off the dribble. Would love Drose over Rondo to play with bench unit

Howard and "should" in regard to FT's is not understanding him career. He's consistently horrible. Bron has not been good as a Laker. No we shouldn't go 8-17 and yes we should have been able to pull that one out but Bron and Howard missing FT's is completely plausible.

I have no idea how many ft from the basket that shot was, beacause we don't use that metric here, but it seemed a tad deeper than Rondo's range.
Btw, the Lamb prayer was a two.
Anyway, all in all, I ain't mad. It hurts a bit with all the missed FT's but the effort was there, they played hard on the road against a good young team. No AD and LeBron with a bad game for his standards. It is what it is, can't win all of them.
This would have been a good game to have Kuzma fit...

We won't win games when one of our big 2 is out and the other one sucks.

Im still on board for trading one of the players for a more consistent shooter.

Kuzma and Cook for Bertans and a wiz 2nd would be an idea, but not perfect, and Bertans is really a specialist. Solves shooting and scoring off bench though
Kuzma, Cook, 2-3 2nds or Kuzma, Cook, 2026 top 12 protected 1st for Bogdan. Solves creating off bench, 3rd scorer, and shooting. This is the trade for us to make
Cook, Daniels, and 1-2 2nds for Rose fixes bench scoring and backup pg (got to sit Rondo)

Pacers are a good team
We’re not that great that they can win when lebron didn’t give a great hand

AD is the best player on the team. He makes the Lakers great. Hope he's healthy soon.

Not sure about that
If it was just AD instead of Bron tonight, we might have lost by 15+
Look at AD's numbers when its just him and no bron...not great. While Bron's are still very good
Who would even create off the dribble lol or create for others.
AD is a ceiling raiser, not a floor raiser

Not going to win games shooting 25% from 3, i think that's just plain and simple. The fact that it was that close is a miracle.
