    yeah, it bugged me when he blew the wide open three a few plays before, but he hit the dagger (imo) and got that putback.

    but he has to convert more of those looks. they're kinda treating him like vando with similar results, tbh.

    Finney-Smith has good shooting form. Not enough reps for him to establish some confidence and rhythm. He concentrates more of none scoring plays to help others get into theirs. Hasn't blown a layup of late...

    I want to believe the ankle is part of the reason he's bricking these wide open 3s because these misses aren't even close .

    Gabe has never been a good 3pts shooter so I'm not surprised

    Return of his 3 ball! On volume too, most 3 point attempts as a Laker.

    Let's hope he heats up right in time for the playoffs. Those wide open shots are always going to be there for everyone with Luka/LeBron/Reaves playmaking.

    If these cats knock down their threes and Luka+Bron+Reaves being a guaranteed 70-75 points per game, the Lakers should be competitive against any team.

    Deserved the game ball for his performance last night. Put up a season high. Killed it from deep. Handled his own against much bigger Rockets. Battling Adams has to be one of the worst jobs in the league.

    luka's hilarious. it's also funny to me how those two are pals, sorta like austin and dlo...it doesn't initially compute because they're from different worlds.
