Five takeaways from the Lakers’ loss Thursday night to the Brooklyn Nets, who look like contenders as LeBron James reaches another milestone in career.
The Lakers made it a certainty Friday evening that Schroder, their starting point guard and one of the team’s top playmakers, would miss the game Saturday.Vogel said there was “some” emphasis on three-point shooting in practice Friday, but they were “not overdoing it.” He thinks better overall execution could help the Lakers improve their three-point shooting percentage.
“You know, I think we’re hesitant to space appropriately on the backside and to see shooters on the backside and deliver the ball, and there is a handful of possessions where guys have passed up shots, which is not unusual for any team at any stretch in their season,” Vogel said. “But when we’re struggling as a group, we just got to make that sure we remove that hesitancy and that our guys are ultra-aggressive in those catch-and-shoot situations.
When the Lakers and Heat met in the Finals in the NBA’s bubble on the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex near Orlando, Fla., both were playing at a high level.That is not the case now, and when they see each other at Staples Center, LeBron James for one will not be reminiscing.
