Paul George is shooting 32% from 3 yet hes averaging 9 3s a game. That is so wild.
On his was to another fugazi all nba team despite being an inefficient chuck.

It's nearly 2022 and y'all dumbass muh'fukkas still don't understand how three-point efficiency works.
He's shooting 32.9% from behind the arc.
The scale is: 33% from three = 50% on two-point shots.
His three-point shooting efficiency is the equivalent of shooting two-point shots at 49%. Essentially, he's shooting those [three-point] jumpers more efficiently than every high-volume player from midrange, other than KD. That is not inefficient.
As I said yesterday in this thread, firing Vogel will only make him the fall guy for the poorly constructed roster that Bron and Pelinka helped create 
In the case of Bagley, he can play and has use to other teams around the league. He’s just not good enough to be a starter and better served coming off the bench long term. The fact Luka wasn’t playing him doesn’t mean that he couldn’t play. He’s just not that good.

Vogel isn’t the right coach and lakers front office to caught up on what the fans want and not the real needs are
The team is so caught up with bringing in big name stars and washed up ones and they already had Kuzma and Harrell 2 nikkas that knew they role and actually played defense, but with Vogel not liking them or playing them in key moments he wanted somebody else
and jeanie and the family is only interested in big names and nothing more, they wanted Russell because of his name and he’s from LA
this team isn’t championship material.. bunch of old AARP nikkas trying to compete with young golden state warriors players who know they role

Warriors are generating more open scoring opportunities (in the halfcourt; non-fast break opportunities) than every other team in the league.
But here's the most impressive part - the margin between GS and the second-best team is larger than the gap between the 2nd and 10th ranked teams. If you needed any more evidence that playing alongside Steph is a cotdamn cheat code. shyt is like playing on easy mode.

I gotta wake & bake to watch these highlights..I turned the game off when I seen the Lakers were up 9 in the 1st OT..They are terrible 
The thing is...50% shooting from two cannot be considered as efficient nowadays as it once was. That's because three point attempts and three point percentage have gone up league wide.
Paul George is shooting below league average and below team average from three in terms of percentage. Not every player could create as many decent shots for himself the way PG13 can but it's hard to believe he couldn't pass some of those shots off to a teammate who could get a look where they'd shoot it at least 33+%.
PG13 is 97th in effective field goal percentage at the moment. It's not terrible for an NBA player but it's definitely not impressive for a franchise player.
Some kid who plays NBA 2K all day constructed the Lakers: OK I got Bron and AD, wow let's sign triple double machine Westbrook. No more money left? That's all good I'll just sign bunch of former all stars from retirement house for the minimum.
Except @stepbackj34spud, like a lot of folks, make the mistake in thinking that 3-PT% has the same efficiency value as FG%, which is why he believes PG is an "inefficient chuck". Now, if someone told him that PG was as efficient on his threes as someone who shot 49% on midrange jumpers, he wouldn't be so quick to tarnish him with the brush of inefficiency.
Nobody is going to shyt on someone who basically shoots 50% on midrange jumpshots are they?
On the point about his three-point shooting in relation to the rest of the league and his team:
He's shot poorly over the last two games from behind the arc, which have drastically lowered his percentage, and isn't indicative of how he's shot the ball over the other 17 games (35.3%). It also doesn't take into account that he shoots threes at 38% for his career, and has shot at 40% for the last half a decade. Given he doesn't have anyone even remotely as talented to help carry the offensive load, he's forced into taking more [difficult] shots than he'd like to. That's not to say he's put in a position where he needs to take every one of those shots, but he's making the best out of a bad situation with Reggie Jackson as his sidekick.
He's going to have games where he needs to be aggressive, and where he needs to take shots that have a higher probability of going in than his teammates', and the results aren't always going to be in his favor. But he must continue to keep taking them, because of how great of a shooter he is, and how much his team relies on him to initiate and maintain runs for them. If he was a bad, or even average shooter, and he was taken this volume of shots, perhaps there'd be an argument there he shouldn't be taken them, but he's one of the best shooters in the league, and nobody else on the Clippers even remotely compares.
It's even made worse by @stepbackj34spud trying to make out like PG hasn't been one of the best performers up to this point, and based on that, an All-NBA selection would not go unwarranted.

How’d Boston lose that game 
got damn they suck.
Gotta make a trade. Gotta get rid of one of the big two for a true pout guard.

Fox played one speed calm and composed the whole time. Granted, he should have went faster at the end of the second OT
Lakers were suppose to have Fox
Let a man named Kelly who bleached his hair before the game drop 27 on you, wolves brehs
