The Los Angeles Lakers donated bricks they shot from the 3 point line to Atlanta construction sites! 

We’re going to take LeBron James out of the equation. Without his input, the Lakers shot 1-of-21 from 3-point land.

Breaking News to Lake Show Life: Umm that’s not good. The 16.1% (5-of-31) brick-fest will be a topic of conversation this week. You see while LeBron James was ridiculously hot.

The rest of his teammates were not. For the record, the only player not named LeBron James that knocked down a 3-pointer was Rajon Rondo. The rest of the backcourt shot 0-of-11 for the game.

About this Danny Green fellow that was brought in to be a knockdown shooter, how much does he get paid again? $14-15 million? Anyone else starting to wonder here?

Lakers Head Coach Frank Vogel rarely gets called out for rotations, but he could have tried Quinn Cook or Troy Daniels in this game. Are both of them inconsistent? Maybe. But they deserved a shot considering how bad the rest of the backcourt was.

Can either of them play defense? No. But the trade-off would have been worth it if one of them could shoot the ball straight from distance. Games like these are when those two need a look. If this is the future of these two, well December 15th starts trade talks for NBA teams. Get the picture?

We talked about the guys that couldn’t shoot, let’s talk about the guy that could shoot.
