Lakers shooting more 3s in Finals than Rockets shot in Reg Season

yeah, no.

 

Yeah, yeah. Do you watch Anthony Davis play? Do you watch lebron’s post up fadeaways?

 

yes, they take some midrange shots. it's not the difference in why they win. i'm quite certain lebron taking post-up fadeaways that spoelstra dreams of him taking isn't throwing the heat off their defensive game and opening up other areas of attack because they have to "account for" lebron dribbling 5 times and taking a turnaround.

 

It's only in this series are they taking a crap ton of 3's. They're shooting a ton of 3's because the Heat are playing a zone. They're open 3's and the Lakers still suck at making them. They're obviously more dangerous driving to the rim and getting offensive rebounds. A

 

It’s part of the difference along with the other differences I mentioned. Of course it isn’t *the* reason. It’s never one thing. But the whole idea that the lakers take as many threes as the rockets in the finals, and they are winning—therefore the rockets offense could win, that’s what I disagree with. Midrange is a part of that difference. How many times did we pass up wide open mid range shots after the double teams? A lot.

 

I think the important points are that I hate the world, we always seem to be getting screwed by refs & NBA, and we seem to miss every opportunity that presents itself.

 

Die by the 3 Toni.

 

I give up, off to the next bubble season.

 

What do you mean?

 

I see no real difference in playing style with a new coach unless it's the most eccentric person.

LBJ, AD know what they are doing, they good at it.

Might as well just wait and observe.

 

Lakers raped Rockets in the paint.. experts said you cant win with only shooting teams. Lakers are most versatile, can adapt to every style of play and play it at very high level and thats how great team is built

 

The key to the LeBron system is to have the greatest player of all time at his peak.

This is the same thing that made Triangle successful.

 

it also helps if you've got the best player in the NBA and the league office allows him to tamper to ensure he'll have another superstar with him.

 

They have arguably the greatest PF hybrid in AD in this bubble and of last year as well.

 

29 other teams do not have the 'best' player, this becomes a top heavy strategy.

They had to find a more rudimentary way.

 

We talkin penises?

 

haha not intentionally.

 

AD is Finals MVP.

When he doesn't have good game, Lakers lose.

 

There is a huge difference in shooting a lot of open 3s at the 3 point line and shooting them the way EG and Harden do at times. 15 feet behind the 3 point line, or heavily contested step backs.

 

Tell that to Curry and his 3 rings.

Maybe Dame is overrated too? Or Jamal Murray? Or Tyler Herro? Luka? Devin Booker? Duncan Robinson? Klay? Trae?

Shooters shoot.

You just have a bias vs. Harden and his game, that is well documented.
