lebron was 2-2 on threes from the left slot vs. the 76ers tonight. since the start of the 2023-24 season, lebron is 127-308 from threes taken in that zone, 41.2%. absolutely a laser when pulling up from there.

i've tried not to be a dick on this platform b/c, honestly, the other platform got ruined by too many of those interactions. but i will say, if your instinct is to jump in my (or anyone else's) mentions and be a thief of joy or appreciation for a player, please don't do that shit. thanks in advance.

might be a good time to pub this post again from yesterday. lol.
I wrote about Austin Reaves making a similar leap to other players I never thought I'd compare him to: www.silverscreenandroll.com/lakers-analy...
Austin Reaves’ star turn is here
Austin Reaves’ path from role player to bonafide star mirrors that of some other lofty names across the NBA.

Luka leads the league w/ 12.3 points scored in 1st quarters, but he's already surpassed that w/ 15 against the Pelicans and there's still 3 minutes left in the period.

after not switching 1-5 all season, the lakers are doing it tonight and are not sharp. not being aggressive on their pass-offs and are out of position too often. jazz getting open 3's and had some drives to get shots at the rim or setups for kickouts to open shooters.

maybe the lakers still think walker kessler is playing, but he's not. trying to drive a bit more and get to the rim and have everything flow off of that would be a nice.

the lakers are settling for long jumpers on offense and switching 1-5 on defense, but doing it softly and surrendering open 3's all over the court. not coincidentally, they trail by 10. this sort of passive play is not what i was hoping to see w/ real energy around bron's return.

How will LeBron James’ return impact Luka Dončić, Austin Reaves?
LeBron James is rejoining a Lakers team with a different dynamic than last season, but one he can certainly still help.

random tech question: i have an m1 macbook air. should i upgrade to the m4 air? it's on sale right now and while my m1 still works really well (save for the battery life), but feels like too good a deal to pass on for the m4 and i could give my m1 to my 9th grader for school.

disgraceful defensive quarter from the lakers.

the players have been awful, but they absolutely were not ready to play tonight, and the coach deserves some heat for that.

when not a single player looks ready to play (i know ayton has had some good plays and has been productive, but he started the game w/ a turnover and had several flat defensive possessions in his 1st shift), the coach has to own it. and that is the case for the lakers so far.

worst quarter of the season the lakers have played when you consider whose available for their opponent. no way to sugarcoat this or to spin it. they did not show up ready to play. that's on the players and the coaches.
37 points surrendered in a quarter to this hawks team is a horrendous showing by the lakers defense.

lakers playing as though the other team doesn't have their best players, and are getting their asses kicked by atlanta's backups. need to pick it up by several notches, first on defense, but even on offense where they are going through the motions and not as focused as they should be.

lakers are playing with minimal focus and low energy to start this game against the short handed hawks. if they keep this up, they will lose.
