Danny Green or KCP have to leave the rotation for the Los Angeles Lakers. Maybe both! 

The Lake Show Life Lessons series has been wildly successful this season for Lake Show Life. Sure the Los Angeles Lakers are one of the most historic franchises in all of sports. They have LeBron James, the face of the NBA and runner up in the MVP voting. Anthony Davis is poised to take his spot when he retires. But the one thing that keeps this series going is this.

The ongoing debates about Danny Green!

Danny Green:

It’s time. He needs to be benched. Now, expeditiously, quickly, without a thought, immediately and as fast as this coaching staff can. No field goals. He had one field goal in Game 2. He is averaging 2.5 points over the last two games.    

I’d rather watch J.R, Smith do this.

At least he hit a 3 point shot last night. Can the same be said for Kentavious Caldwell-Pope?

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope:

Well, he hit one too. But really? In 29 minutes, KCP scored 5 points (1-5 shooting 2-4 from the free-throw line!) with an absurd plus/minus of a game low -26. AD had the same number, but our sources say that he will be given a pass considering his efforts of the first two games of the Finals!

KCP is a streaky shooter that needs confidence. He’s on a bad streak now and his confidence is waning badly. That glassy-eyed look from the start of the season is back. Either LeBron can give him words of encouragement to get him on track again like when the season started or Frank Vogel will have to make a change.

Going in, most didn’t think this series would be a sweep. It’s just the domination spread out of the first two games brought out broom talk.

But the Lakers have no one to blame but themselves for letting this game get away. They knew the Heat were going to compete and play hard, but the Lakers never matched their intensity.

Enough of the Kobe Bryant videos saying “Jobs not finished!” Finish the job.

Game 4 is on Tuesday.
