3rd best offensive player? Kuz Easily. In the bubble he’s averaged 15.4ppg and is shooting 44.4% 3fg. He’s only had 1 bad game in the bubble.
and look at the 4 head to head games lakers vs clips.
game 1 lebron and Davis both were garbage and couldn’t shoot and it wasn’t The clips defense, they were just off being dared to shoot. they combined for 3 points in the 4th qtr of that game despite Both playing Majority of it. The other lakers loss in the second matchup was lakers up damn near the entire game Beginning to end before losing it late. Then lakers won the next 2 and that includes the bubble game where both Leonard and George played great while lebron had a terrible 6-19 shooting game.
lakers are all about defense anyways. Avery Bradley was huge part of that but the true lakers Strength is interior defense. Davis, McGee and Dwight are all locking up the paint. Clips are deeper for sure though.
my biggest concern for lakers is the new guys dion waiter, jr Smith, and markieff Morris are all gunners who take bad shots and if they aren’t falling then things can get ugly. Caruso, green and kcp have all taken a clear step backwards in the bubble from their reg season play. I’m just hoping they figure it out.
and don’t underestimate the mamba motivation running deep in that locker room
