Ime Udoka after Rockets fall to LeBron, Lakers on 3/31/2025

When Ime Udoka constantly disrespects Jalen Green in not giving him the ball for the last shot. It is absolutely pointless to watch Alperen Sengun Airball at Philadelphia for the last shot while Jalen Green was spectacular with 39 points and Jalen Green didn't get the ball for the last shot. Ime Udoka is very disrespectful towards Jalen Green.

Again Alperen Sengun gets the last second shot and gets blocked by a 40 year old. Great Strategy Ime Udoka.

 

When Jalen Green Drives when he drives I notice that Fred VanVleet (terrible 3 point shooter) defender cheats and goes for a double team on Jalen Green and gets a turnover.
Our lack of 3 point shooters around Jalen Green and Alperen Sengun causes turnovers due to double teams or Referees allow Lakers to play illegal 3 second violations or Lakers Zone.

3 point shooting
Only Dillon Brooks is above average
Jabari Smith slightly below average, should start over Fred VanVleet, move Amen to PG.


Fred VanVleet - terrible year, less minutes and bench role.
Amen Thompson - improved on corner 3, top of the key is inconsistent
Tari Eason - improved slightly
Reed Sheppard - bad year, wishes to stay at Kentucky and Start no doubt

Steven Adams - doesn't do anything on offense
JaeSean Tate should've played and guard LeBron James, Tate can shoot corner 3s
Aaron Holiday - more minutes, can shoot 3s, has a floater.

 

The Warriors are a bad matchup for us as well, but they dont have the 3pt shooting as they are known for compared to this year Lakers team.
Curry will get his, but I don't know if Playoff Jimmy still exists...he's slowed down a little bit. Buddy Hield is inconsistent...Kuminga and Draymond have broke jumpers. The wild card on that team is Podziemski. If he gets going then it's a different story.
The Lakers got 3 playmakers with wings who shoot the 3 -> their spacing is amazing, which is orchestrated by JJ Reddick. He's done a great job being their head coach.

 

Hate the we are gonna have to live with some 3pt shots, hate it.
