Finally this three point situation…

The Lakers shot poorly to say the least going an anemic 7-30 from the land of plenty which included missing the first 15 shots. LeBron James, Brandon Ingram, Kyle Kuzma and Lonzo Ball combined to shoot 2-19 collectively for the game. I realize that the NBA requires three-point shooting, but you have to know when it is not your night. Josh Hart did not have these problems…

Josh Hart shot 3-5 from the land of plenty. He had it going and he looked confident in his stroke. A lot of so called media experts are going to blame the loss on the Lakers not having enough shooters. The Lakers front office and I don’t see that as the case. Hart has showed that he has been capable basically since the summer leagues. It’s on Luke Walton to see this and give him more floor time. I see Lance Stephenson’s and KCP’s minutes is a wonderful place to start.
