3 point % against the Suns

Bron 38%
AD 18%
Dennis 31%
Kuzma 17%
Caruso 29%
Wes 28%
KCP 22%
Gasol 64%!!!
Ben 33%

Basically needed more Gasol 3s. Everybody else shot below their season average :francis:

Meanwhile

Booker 43%
Payne 42%
JOhnson 41%
Bridges 38%
Crowder was trash at 30%, but somehow got on fire the last two games.

Got damn our ability to hit a 3 and inability to defend a 3 cost us.

Goddamn those #'s are ugly.

I think the point is though that Kawhi dragged things out so long that they missed out on Curry.:francis:
as much of Lebron fan as I am, there is no way he should be the best shooter on a team:francis:

Looks like Trez is gone, which we expected

The Lakers could've signed Seth and D.Rose

Rose got 2yr/15m (7.5m) from the Pistons

Seth got 4yr/32m (8m) for the Mavs

Signing both would've cost us Rondo...but I believe we still would've won the chip....Could've started Seth and had Rose come off the bench.

We need a fukking offensive system badly. I do not want to rely on Lebron ball, it isn't our future. We need a system that the team can actually utilize when Lebron's off the court and when he's just off.

We need AD in general badly. Man was our best player in the 2020 championship run and that's what we need from him. Motherfukker gotta stay upright.

This was on Rob/LeBron/AD. Also said he wont return for a minimum and might not for MLE either. Hopefully Dwight is up for Reunion 2.0

I mean I get it...the Clippers or Nets with Drummond (flaws and all) it would have been even more difficult.

I just dont know why Vogel didnt figure out how to play Gasol with Trez. We had time to figure that shyt out.

It was pretty clear Vogel was being forced to start that bum Drummond. That fukked up everything down the stretch.

Pelinka's done a good job but he can't be promising guys starting positions. LeBron and AD are the only two who deserve that privilege. Everybody else has to get in where they fit in.

Kinda crazy they started a net negative for five games in the playoffs because of politics. Even worse when you consider how terrible Lebron, Schroeder, and especially AD's numbers were when paired on the floor with Drummond.
