Podcasts after disappointing losses are always tough. The Lakers were terrible last night, especially their 3Pt defense leaving Harris open and their horrible 3PT offense. Can’t win a championship if you continue to lose the 3-point differential.
While Lakers 3PT defense sucked last night, it’s been one of the reaons why our overall defense is #1 in the league. Before last night’s game, the Lakers had allowed the 3rd lowest makes, the 4th lowest attempts, and held opponents to the 3rd lowest 3p% in the league. Last night’s 3PT defense was not good but the Lakers’ problem is their 3PT offense, not their 3PT defense.
Offensively, the Laker take 27th fewest threes, make the 26th fewest threes, and shoot the 27th lowest percentage on threes. They don’t even make enough threes to cover the threes they allow, which is the 3rd lowest in the league.
The formula for winning with LeBron James has always been to surround him with elite high percentage and high volume 3-point shooters. Rob Pelinka needs to make moves at the trade deadline because the Lakers have a serious problem when it comes to their 3PT offense.
