Anyone can get hot from 3 one night.

Lebron is pretty dependable.
Kuz is capable, but he has had hot/cold type season.
Lance has been a pleasant surprise.

Hopefully Bullock and Muscala can help. Also, maybe streaky KCP will be good now that he is here for the rest of the season.

Maybe they should start shooting freethrows from the three point line?

If KCP and Kuz can go on a hot streak, we're going to win a lot of games. Lebron, some shooting, and guys playing hard on defense just gets it done.


This, and the kids said " oh being a. basketball player, means I need to shoot like I want to be good at my job?"

And the good thing about the Lakers acquiring shooters, the Celtics typically hold their opposition below 35% from the 3 point line. The Lakers shot lights out and most of those shots were open. Because at the end of the day you HAVE to double (or even triple) Lebron when he drives, which means there HAS to be guys open on the 3 line.

Maybe someone should post the franchise record for FT made, which is 52, on the players lockers as a goal. This team only makes around 16 per game.

We caught a glimpse of what our team could be if Lebron was surrounded by consistent 3 point shooters and defense guys.

Tantalizing as (bleep)

You don't need playmakers to dance their way through a team when everybody collapses on Lebron the second he makes a move. Keep things simple, why complicate matters


Or when you have an aggressive attacking Lebron. Changes the complexion of the team.

Muscla not a shooter?
But he's 34% from 3 (36% career) as a big.
I'll take that until Moe gains enough muscle to play in the NBA.

Also, Kuz actually hit over 30% from 3 yesterday (5-8). That helps.
