@LakersReporter

LAL are shooting 43.1% from 3 since Mike D'Antoni took over (59 for 137), which would rank 2nd in the NBA (Miami, 43.2%).

Thats very interesting, and also a good sign.

If we somehow land Dwight Howard AND Nash (which is one of the biggest reaches I've posted, don't think that will happen), then yeah...I have no problem with it, because Howard won't allow anyone to take Nash off the dribble 30+ minutes a game.


You should reach more often ;)

the Indiana Pacers lived by the three and made it to the finals only to be beaten by Shaq and Kobe.

It's not impossible.

Contrary to TNT belief, you don't live or expire by the three, You live or expire by your defense :)

small sample size but still good news considering how awful we were in that category last year.

This is a great sign. With Nash and Blake, we can even get better now. Nash, Blake, Jamison, Meeks, Kobe. I like it.

Doesn't surprise me that the shooting has increased, but how high the percentage is does.

The Lakers don't live by the 3. Just because they shoot it well doesn't mean it's their whole offensive game plan. They can post up and also drive with Kobe and Nash when he gets back.

Here's to hoping Meeks and Jamison start to hit them at a clip we thought they could when they signed.

Ugh, all this success with the three ball and we don't even have our sharp-shooter anymore to enjoy it with... ANDREW BYNUM WE MISS YOU

Makes a big difference when a coach tells you "go ahead" take the three when open...

PnR & threes...
