That’s a great point, magicman. Feels like all the guys we brought in to help add scoring punch (Wes, McLemore, Trezz, re-signed KCP and re-signed Kuzma) have brought almost no scoring lately, or aren’t even playing much. Caruso is a defense first glue type of guy so I don’t sweat it much when he scores in single digits but what he hasn’t been doing is attacking the defense. They have all, to a man, allowed the defense to dictate the their individual offense. That has to change like last weel.
Magicman says
If the role players didn’t show up in Game 5 but show up in Game 6 (which I doubt) that’s about them worrying about their own ass not the Lakers…
Magicman says
In 5 games, no role player has 12+ pets. None…
Magicman says
AD LeBron and Dennis Schroder are the only Lakers to score 20+ points…
Magicman says
You can’t win 4/7 when only 3 guys are showing up offensively don’t care who you play…
