Brotha, have you seen the Nuggets?

If there's one thing they don't have it's shooters.

Westbrook is thriving because there's no expectations thrust upon him and because he's playing alongside a cheat code (they both have developed some real good chemistry).
I will say this again....when Westbrook was around...the best shooter was LeBron

Real talk, a strong knock against LeBron is how much others stars have to sacrifice their games for him

This been obvious for a long time. Bron ball not just a Coli meme lol

If you a limited offensive player or specially just spotup shooter? You gon EAT wit Bron he gon get the best version out ya limited skillset wit his drive and kick game

If you a star player wit many dimensions to ya game and offense? Ya gon have to sacrifice, take shyt out ya game, fall back cause Bron ball style don't max ya abilities and ya not more talented than Bron so ya ain't gon be higher priority in hierarchy. That why Heat 2011 season went way it did.... DWade was just as good as that nikka in 2011 if not better and better most playoffs even was much better against Boston in 2010 when they was on different teams Boston couldn't guard Wade but shut Bron down. Bron just can't scale back his game and need to have the ball all the time and make decisions for him to do his thing so Wade had to fall back.

U said the Nuggets have shooters. They do not. That has nothing to do with the Lakers
But they 7th in 3 point %....the game I saw.... The made shots... Lakers was dead last or close when Westbrook was around...


....

This is basic logic really .


No I don't watch that many games anymore... I climbed the corporate ladder .. but I did when we took joined the lakers

It was brick city

ur missing that Denver is dead last in 3p attempts per game. That 38% doesnt mean much when it's on the lowest volume in the league
would u consider a 40% 3p shooter on 2 attempts per game a good shooter? no

the nuggets aren't a good 3p shooting team.

Every player who plays with a superstar has to sacrifice their game.

You fukkin think Scottie Pippen couldn't have had a larger role?

I could post examples for days.

Except he had a larger role and posted the same #’s he did with jordan :skip:

that wasn’t a Kobe situation he was limited af offensively and couldn’t shoot

Yes...

This is not how this works...


If you shoot 8- 3 point it would go from good to elite..


So it is good...you always pass the ball to that guy if hé is open

Lakers attempted 4 more 3.piints a gaine that year but bricked do much more


A team shooting 38% is elite...
no. not on that low volume. they're not a good shooting team that's why they dont shoot a lot of threes. theyve been beating teams by being efficient at knocking down their 2's

a 40% three point shooter on 2 attempts per game isn't a threat. that's less than 1 makes per game
